TELECOM 247

Hi

For a short time I need to use a UK email-to-fax service. Googling
brings up loads and I have nothing on which to base a choice between
them. Free is very good, cheap is acceptable, and reliable is v.
important - I need to be confident that anything sent via the service
does actually get delivered.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks ihn advance.

Dear Pete

The aql e-mail to fax service will send you an e-mail with a delivery
report for the fax you sent and there is a log for incoming faxes. Its
Ł2 per number per month (ex-vat).

See here for Email To Fax: https://www.aql.com/telecoms/site/email2fax.php

and here for Fax to Email:
https://www.aql.com/telecoms/site/fax2email.php

Interesting thing is the geographic numbers will also accept incoming
SMS and send it to you in an e-mail or HTTP POST.

HTH

Do you mean email to fax - it would be cheaper just to buy an old modem.

Fax to email on the other hand...

Thanks for the replies.

Ive found a service called FaxBox http://www.faxbox.com/en/home.aspx,
run by RTE which gives a free trial account allowing 30 sheets in 30
days - which is enough for my needs.

However Im having problems getting it to work at present so Im still
in the market for more recommendations

Why..? I write letters by hand sometimes. Its nice to receive these as
well, makes you aware theres a human in there somewhere.

I used a service called efax a few years ago which enables you to both send and
receive faxes via your PC, it worked OK but I could not justify the monthly
cost
for occasional use.

My trusty inkjet printer has a fax function and is connected to the POTS line
as
well as the PC, so to send a fax I just dial the number then when I hear the
fax
tone I press start/copy on the printer.

To receive faxes I use the fax to email service provided by Mistral which costs
me nothing but charges the sender a few pence. No doubt I will get flamed by
others on this group and be accused of ripping off the sender - but hey, the
sender can either put a photocopy in an envelope and stick a postage stamp and
snailmail it to me at greater cost, or email to me direct.
