Did you ever stop to calculate how much money you spend every month on printing faxes that you do not need? How about those faxes that come from your vendors. You know the daily faxes that you just glance at and throw into the garbage! Efax is great as long as you do not have to send a fax. As soon as you do, that "FREE" Efax, come on, goes right out the window!
So, I found a better way! A little program called Fax Freedom. Truth is, there are lots of companies around offering a similar product. I am partial to the one offered by FreedomVoicemail.com and for 3 very good reasons.
1) Though the service is not free as the name may imply, it is very affordable at a low $9.95 per month.
2) It's stupid proof and very easy to use which is right up my alley!
3) Since my vocation keeps me hoping around from place to place, my fax machine and ALL of my faxes are available from any computer in the world with online access.
The advantages don't stop there! When you consider the paper & toner you save from not printing those unwanted faxes, in my case, the savings were substantial!
Here's how the Freedomvoicemail system works.
1. A fax is sent to your personal FreedomVoicemail Fax Freedom number.
2. The file is converted to a PDF or TIFF file.
3. The fax is delivered to you as an attachment directly to your e-mail. To view your new fax message, simply double click on the attachment. If you want it, print it, if not, hit delete! From there you can print it, email it or re-fax it.
There is also a nifty feature called WebLINK, your Personal Internet Control Panel. Here, you have the ability to browse documents on your computer, and fax the ones you like to fax out by selecting the file. FreedomVoicemail.com supports most every popular office and image file format, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Adobe PDF!
