I know there are several services out there where you can upload a doc and they will fax it for free. Has anyone used a particular service and can recommend it as reliable please ?

    Other people on here have referred to this site:

    http://www.burnham-on-sea.co.uk/fax.html

    But I personally haven't used it, so can't say if it's reliable.

    IMO you're asking for two things that don't (in this context) sit well together: Free and reliable. If the above-mentioned site suddenly starts getting more traffic than they can handle, there's no incentive for them to install more capacity.

    If you need something reliable, why not pick up a cheap/secondhand/freecycled 56k fax modem and use the fax facility built into Windows? Ok, you pay for the call, but you also know for sure that it was received.
  • About 5 years ago I used to use www.tpc.int to send match reports to a friend about his football club to his place of work as he didn't have Internet access, it was about 95% reliable. I put sequence numbers on faxes so he could tell if a fax had not been delivered. I only used it for 12 months so I'm not sure what reliability is like now.

    It's free to use but you get an advert on the fax.
