Best Skype Fax Solution
We were surprised to learn that there is no native Skype fax facility. A fundamental issue related to VoIP codecs is the show stopper. It's unfortunate because an integrated fax would have been one of the more compelling of Skype tools. It would be a unique point of difference and it would have kept users logging on.
There is an integrated fax solution that works with Skype, it's a third party product called PamFax. It includes a comprehensive range of features that would meet the requirements of most personal users. It is easy to use and can also be accessed from Facebook and Salesforce.
The problem with fax services is that they involve a minimum monthly commitment. This seems to be PamFax's unique point of difference. It can be used as a Pay As You Go service with payments via Skype credit or subscription,
PayPal or Amazon Payments, alternatively a range of Credit Packs are available.
PamFax involves the download of client software. It's a Windows client (2000, XP or Vista) and requires Internet Explorer 6 or better.
If you only need to send an occasional fax once or twice a year, PamFax is probably adequate. A better solution for anyone needing to send and receive faxes more regularly is eFax. It's definitely worth taking the free eFax test drive before committing to anything.
Have you discovered a way of sending faxes for free? If you have please tell us about it. We aren't expecting a flood of responses (if any), but we look forward to being surprised.
In the meantime we'll listen out for messages from deep space.
