Every now and then we all have the need to send a fax. Whether it is for important [fill in the blank] forms with your signature or you simply need to send a ‘paper copy’ of something instantly, fax is still a standard for transferring documents. If you don’t have a fax machine and do not want to run out to your local Kinko’s, check out Fax Zero.
No registration is required and usage could not be easier. Just enter information for both you and the recipient, upload your file and then send. It’s that easy.
Of course, there are some limitations with using the free option, but in the event you need to remove these, there is a premium option where you just have to pay a small fee to send the fax. Overall, either method sure beats having to go find a fax machine (and most likely pay to use it) elsewhere.

I use FaxZero all the time. I had a little problem at first because the magic numbers you have to enter were covered up by a image box and I could not find them. This was using Firefox in Ubuntu. If you have the sme problem, got to View>Page Style, and select “No Page Style”. It was probably due to some settings I have, but I could not figure it out, so “No Page Style” worked for me.
I.ve been faxing on the net for years, it comes built in to Windows XP and it’s free. My youngest child is deaf and he gets it on his fax machine..
If you need to send forms with your signature or a copy of a paper document, you still will need a scanner to make images of the paper documents.
I have to agree with Freon, you still need to have a scanner to scan documents which is the most common thingy while faxing anything ..
