Electronic Fax Service

Wondering how to get into the new online faxing scene? Well, electronic fax service has come a long way, and here we are going to look at a few things that you should get with your service, and how much you usually need to pay for it.

Ok, first things first. A good, inexpensive fax service is at or around $7 a month. Give or take. So, shop around and make sure you are getting a good price before you sign any contracts! Now, should you get a free trial to test the service? Yes. Most good companies will let you try out the service risk free, and I suggest you do so.

How many pages should you get? About 300 pages a month, give or take a little. How much should extra pages cost you? About seven cents a page. Now, keep in mind the number of faxes you send out a bunch. If you hardly ever fax, you surely don't need this many. Or, maybe you do mass mailings? You may need more. However, this is a good place to start, and you can move up or down from here, depending upon your needs.

Now, should you need an extra phone line? No. Never. It is over the internet. Should you be able to send and receive many faxes at once? Yes, usually. A good service will offer this. Should you be able to go without a special fax modem? Yes. You shouldn't have to buy a special modem. Should you be able to send documents using your scanner? Of course. Should your service include private, never busy toll free or local number? Usually. The very inexpensive ones will.

Just remember to keep these things on mind when making your choice. Shop around until you find the best deal, there are a lot of different ones out there. Ask your friends what they use, maybe they can help you.
