eFax
eFax is a relatively new product in the communications sector of the internet but is already making waves.
eFax is a pretty nifty fax to email service that allows me to receive faxes large and small directly to my email inbox, I receive new sales orders as quickly as a client sends them. And the best news of all is that our clients always get through to our personal eFax number. No busy signals, no fax machine out of paper, and no lost faxes misplaced at the office fax machine. I'm sure we used to lose orders when customers tried to fax them and get an engaged tone.
eFax makes it possible to use your existing email account to send and receive faxes. Try eFax free.
CONVENIENCE of using eFax
Once you receive a fax, you can email it to anyone else. That person needs to download the free software to be able to read the fax. I love this feature because it makes for an easy way to pass around information. You can also store faxes on your computer instead of keeping them in paper form.
Another nice feature is that you can view faxes before deciding to print them and you don't have to print every page. This can save on paper and ink. This efax system can be very useful to businesses. The efax review progresses below.

What efax users are saying
"I have been an eFax user since they first came online several years ago, and and
eFax PLUS user for the past 2-3 years. I have generally been quite satisfied
with the trouble-free service I have received. My primary complaint is the high
rates they charge, both monthly and per-fax, which I consider to be very steep.
Since I am only an occasional user (faxes are going the way of pagers nowadays),
I am considering cancelling my subscription for the fees alone."
