I need to receive some faxes asap, can anyone advise what is a good free sign up fax number service, that will email the faxes to me?

I do remember reading something about this on MSE ages ago, but could not find the thread on the searhc system.

    Try https://www.efax.com

    There is a free version (though they really would prefer you to upgrade to a paid version)  They give you an 0870 number which can be faxed from overseas.  the free 0871 numbers, I think, cannot.

    They email you maybe once or twice a month offering you this and that but no spam.  You download a small fax viewer and so far works 100%.

    If you are struggling with international compatability with 0871/0870fax numbers then https://www.k7.net offer a free fax-to-email that uses a US landline number.
    Completely free to sign up, just like the mentioned UK based 0870 and 0871 services.

    hi, have you tried YAC? (yac.com) They provide personal numbers which are free and although they now charge for a number of their services, they have been around for around five years and I've found them to be very reliable.

  • We have a a pair of YAC numbers
    ( http://www.yac.com ) which are very good. We have had them a while and they were free, though now I believe the cost is £30 per year. I believe there has also been problems calling these numbers from outside the UK, due to Cable and Wireless blocking access to 070 personal numbers. If you need a number for people to call from outside the UK, then an 0870 number would be the answer.

    Also very good is http://www.DMClub.net . They offer 0700 pairs of voice and fax numbers free, which cost the national rate to call. They have the added advantage of being simular to 0800 free to call numbers, and as long as you don't advertise them as a free call number you will be OK. They may also have the same connection problem when called from outside the UK, but are fine otherwise.
