I believe that method only works if you still use a dial-up modem.

I *think* I successfully used this service before... www.freepopfax.com - but it was a while ago!

just tested freepopfax.com. It works! Nice find.

Lots of advertising on the page that's faxed out though. Just popfax advertising.

should have said I'm on vista which doesn't have the fax software like XP, MS removed it

word has a buit in fax button but needs a dial up modem I believe

I'll look at freepopfax.com

didn't appear to work for me

just found laptop has dial modem built in :thumbsup:

found software at nicocuppen.com that works in vista & allows 30 day evalutation and as I only need to send one fax I used it and hopefully it's gone through.

I've been using pamfax http://www.pamfax.biz/en/ which works out to 8.4p per fax to most numbers in the western world.

It basically works just like a printer once installed. No hassle. No advertising on the recieved fax, either.

The big plus of the system is that it's totally internet based - no phone line or modem is involved at all.:thumbsup:

If you have a skype account, you can use your skype credit for the faxes. In that case, there's no need to buy an initial £10 of credit.

For me, I only need to send faxes from home very occasionally and never need to receive them - so this works out fine for my needs.:)

I think you get a free fax when you first try it out too, which might be useful if you're in a bind and just need to send one fax for some reason.

Cheers,
