Here are some free fax options when you don't have access to an actual fax machine. For outgoing faxes, you'll need to be able to scan or create a PDF version of your document.
- One of the few free services that allows you to receive and send faxes. Fax number changes every 24 hours. 25 pages inbound and 5 pages outbound per month. https://www.faxburner.com
- Send up to 3 pages per transmission, and up to 5 fax transmissions per day. https://faxzero.com
- Dedicated fax number to receive faxes for 7 days. https://www.faxbetter.com
Faxes can be finicky, and we recommend that you call a contact person on the other end of the transmission after sending a fax to make sure that they received it. Similarly, don't be afraid to ask them to send it again if they sent it and you haven't received it after about 15 minutes.
