Online PAYG Fax?

anon_ymous

I don't need to use fax much at all tbh, however when it comes to say solicitors, then it's sometimes quicker to fax than to send a letter over, if they're not fond of emailed documents
Does anyone know of something that's cheap for that?
I've noticed Attractive pricing for sending a fax, PamFax Credit, PamFax Professional Plan, PamFax Basic Plan - PamFax is one such company where they charge 8p/page

An "incoming" fax service would also help, if they are to communicate that way instead of via letter, as at least it's quick (ish) then! I'd rather do as much as I can digitally, but solicitors can be slow to change.
Thanks

Some libraries still offer fax.  Not many I wouldn't have thought though, since they seem to have a strange concept of spending their money on books.  Can't imagine why

I would argue any solicitor that insists on faxes over email correspondence probably doesn't want the job in the first place.  However this might be of interest:

THanks. Libraries are pretty..closed atm, so I thought might as well see if I could PAYG. That'd be decent however (your link that is)

I used Pamfax 8 or 9 years ago as it was the only way our GP surgery would accept repeat prescription requests if you couldn't drop them in yourself (they wouldn't take it over the phone and this was pre-online). Never had a problem with it. I probably still have PAYG credit with them .... We moved surgery.

Windows come with a free fax program called Windows Fax and Scan. Go to the start menu and type Fax it should come up.

The program is no good without the hardware   Still need a machine.

I used ClickSend the only time I have needed to send a fax in the last 10 years, it was painless and worked. They gave me some free credit to try it out so it cost me nothing. 
Their mailing services could also a cost effective alternative to a printer for some.

Wow. That's pretty decent! Their letter prices aren't so bad either. Good to be able to use them when I need to send a fax
Also pretty good to use at work, when we get rid of all our old fax machines and then we can just use that

Thanks
