I was going to resurrect an old thread that ended in 2019 (without a solution) BUT decided to revive it here instead as there may be additional new solutions to needing to FAX in this modern age when FAXing is mostly a thing of the past.

Old thread: /forum/viewtopic.php?id=864105

So my bank need me to fax back a form in order to beat a deadline. The form took a month to get to my by postal service - they refused to email me a [even blank] form for a change that I needed in my accounts. With the clock ticking I went on a frantic search and tried SO MANY online FAX solutions - yes even the popular and evident ones.

FAX services want you to set up a monthly/fee service with them to send FAXes and even charge additionally to receive FAXes. Heck, for years I paid efax US$13+/month and I'm sure it costs even more now. I hunted around town here, cartorios, print shops, friends and family that might have a FAX machine to use = NADA! All I needed was to be able to one 3-page FAX and a cover letter.

There is at least one solution (please do speak up if you have found others). Wisefax. You buy tokens after you set up an account online and then use your tokens to upload/send your FAX along.

I checked an AWEFUL LOT of online services.

This one works.
