To date I've been using Send2fax , but I'm sick of paying to send a few pages. FaxZero looks like a great deal. A fax machine would not save me any time as I always scan my docs into PDF so they can go with me anywhere I have to be. My friends showed me the importance of this when their passports were stolen and one had a digital copy of his birth certificate and was able to go home after a few days of getting a replacement passport. The other didn't have a copy and he was stuck in a foreign country for weeks waiting for someone back home to get a copy for him and send it electronically. Lesson: digitize and encrypt everything that's of any importance to you. :) I’m working overseas, so using a local phone line is not an option.

Supposedly their revenue comes from their website ads and premium services.

In fact, even when you only need to send a small document (this isn't already on your computer), no way is easier. Sure you could scan it all in and convert it to PDF and then email it to the other person, but why do three steps when it only takes one? For example, I recently had to send ~75 pages of financial documents to a bank, and converting it to PDF would have been a pain. Instead, I just popped it all in the fax machine and hit "Send". Sometimes older technologies still work the best. My only wish was that there was a method to verify that the entire fax was received properly by the other side.

It sucks for incoming faxes, but I really only need to send. Works great, and no need for ongoing fees, etc. I bought a fax machine 4-5 years ago for around $30 at Staples.

The only ad on the cover page was the faxzero logo. It worked fine but sending the fax seemed a tad slow. Pretty good for free. I tested faxzero out of curiosity.

It works well but isn't free. And you need Skype installed. Other than that, it's inexpensive for worldwide faxing and convenient.
