Faxing line

I'm considering giving up my fax Line$$. Since business has dropped off I don't need the extra expense.
I can scan and email much faster and encrypt when necessary. Does anyone have a comment.
If the tc's don't have a problem with it I will continue. What do you all think.

I will fax 1 page. After that, it does 'cost', (screwy phone co.) so I scan/e-mail. Many will provide a specific e-mail address for this. Others--case by case, but they all do accept scan/e-mail. It's faster, cheaper for us AND the biggie for me is I still have it in my computer for those times when they 'didn't get it'.

I scan and e-mail too - have had one instance where

the recipient insisted on a fax - so I have a NotRot fax line - scan to pdf, fax through NotRot with attachment.

Works for me.

I have am efax # but NotRot's looks like a great service and I just signed up.

I need my other fax number to add to my website and signature line which NotRot doesn't allow it appears?

I shopped quite a bit long ago and opted for Nextiva.

I pay an annual fee that comes to $4.95 per month. It makes life easy and you have an electronic record. You get a separate personalized fax number just like here. Difference is you pay. You get billed once per year.

You can add multiple recipients, cover page, everything you normally do with a phone line.

You can keep the fax file in your customer folder as part of your documentation. When they manually fax back, it will be an efax back to you.

I haven't used a fax in years. I do have a fax number through NR which I only use for SL's faxback requirement of the encryption.

I find my fax machine is needed for more than notary work - tax work. Sometimes in tax work scan and fax is not acceptable (to the IRS or state taxing agencies). Also, I use it to send personal faxes rather than drive somewhere and fax at a fee.

Been using NR wonderful fax line for SLink, & personal stuff

In the SLink instance, it is for docs to be reviewed & approved prior to shipping. Having spent my working life in offices, I know if it arrives already printed out, they just pick it off the machine==quicker ok back to me

I can scan and email, but I find faxing to be faster. My scan system requires about 5 steps. :-(
I am paying over $50 a month for a barebones AT&T landline.
