Free Incoming Fax Number, Faxes Sent to your Email - K7.com

I have been using this service for about an year now without any major issues. It is fairly reliable, but you must receive at least one call each month to keep your assigned number. This can simply be a call from your cell phone that you let ring through the full fax tone cycle until it automatically hangs up.

Just signed up...looks good for me!
Thanks

It looks like we might be able to just leave a voicemail to keep the same number:

"If a K7 number is inactive for 30 days (use is determined as a voice message or fax message to that number) , we will terminate the account for non-use."

Careless = you messed up..

Like everything in life, if you mess up, negative consequences can occur.

Been using it for years and this has been posted numerous times before. Never had a problem with it. I just put a reminder on my calendar to call in and leave a message at least once every 28 days to keep it active.

I too have used it for years without a hiccup. I have a calendar item to send myself a efax every month. Hard to beat this free service. I have tried another service which I can't remember the name of...it would spit out your email of the fax a couple hours later. K7 spits it out without any delay (though these are usually just one page faxes).

If you want a free incoming fax number that won't get canceled, get an eFax number. I don't receive a lot of faxes and my eFax account works well for me. I've had an eFax account for six years and I've gone six months without receiving a fax, but they never canceled my number. eFax lets you receive your faxes via email and view them online. From the eFax FAQ:

eFax Free® is a limited account. When you sign up for eFax Free® you get:
* free online fax
* a non-local fax number
* the ability to receive 10 faxes per month (you cannot send faxes)

OK, now I have a fax number which I might use once a year. Anyone want to send me test fax?

Guys....this eFax is only a free 30 day trial.

I chose the fax and vm as it is easier to call and leave message every 30days than to send fax, to keep it active.

Be careful that nobody faxes you sensitive information, like a form containing a SSN. Point to point fax is much more secure than email.

To keep the number alive, just sign up with a restaurant that faxes take out specials each week.

Does someone know of a service where they can send me one fax every week or month. That would keep my service alive. I am too lazy and I don't think I will be able to keep this acocunt live for long.

You can receive all the FAXes you want and with a lower per minute charge for $1 per month at onesuite.

thanks

on the other hand, anybody know a good (free) service to send fax via email/internet?
