Email Fax Website
Lately, I have been trying to "single source" all of my data. Currently, my cell phone does email, calendar, web surfing and plays MP3s. So I figure why not try combining the functions of some of the things I do in my home office? I want my data all in one source - my computer. A website I use for my faxes, Metro Hi Speed, offers an inexpensive alternative to telephone based faxes in the form of their email fax services that allows me to send and receive faxes conveniently through my email program.
I found it to be a real easy service to set up. All that was required to use this service was an email account and, to send faxes, a scanner or digital camera. The image is converted and sent out to a fax machine and is properly rendered on that end. The email fax numbers they provide are from your own area code or, if for some reason that area code isn't available, you will be provided with a toll free number. The toll free email fax number is also available for people whose area codes are available for an additional fee.
For educators and students this service is a highly convenient way to bring all your communications needs into one convenient location (your PC). I recommended service for anyone who sends and/or receives faxes and wants to avoid the second phone line, bulky equipment and poor quality a traditional fax machine. The best part for me is that since I can get email on my cell phone I can even use my phone's fax-viewer to review faxes while on the road.
