spend the night trying to locate a free receiving fax service.
I have an old fax machine which i use max 10 times a year to send but I dont have a dedicated line and receiving pages are unreadable(ink way way gone) therefore I was thinking if someone here knows of a free fax receiving fax service taht emails us the content. Dont want free trial (unless a genius here as a rebate code taht vwould make it free afterwards ;).
only heard of K7 right now... but number they give is in washington usa if no ones offers me nothing ...anyuone knows of them?

I went to free phone line looks like they dont have a fax service...They do. Just get a number and set up forwarding of voicemail to email.

Ok im installing it as we wspeak...would you mind telling me how many pages you manage to receive? I went to their forums and people seemed to say it was that great. No problem on your side?
I just installed it and when I try to login I get an error message.

well it doesnt seem to work. I installed it, got a phone number and when I click the icon (free^phone line)login I enter my email address the passwordr and NOTHING happens. If I click the other option (free register) i get this error message
HTTP Status 404 - There is no Action mapped for namespace / and action name signup
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no success, I even registered with their forum (but still waiting for the registration email)
Is there something else I gotta do so I can login? If I cant log in or am not login canI receive faxes anyway? Thanks in advance

You don't need to login to their desktop app, but you must access the control panel on the website, so that you can set up voicemail/fax forwarding to email.

yeah i did that but the app wont work (on my desktop) nothing happens. Does it mean that nevertheless Ill receive faxes sent to that fax number? or do we need to be logged in so that it works?

Those faxing internationally will want to try the free fax promotion from MyFax. They allow users to send 100 free faxes per month and receive 200 for free. It is compatible with many types of files and integrates easily with Microsoft Office and Outlook.
