Best Posts in Thread: Fax to U.S.

Not sure if this is any help, but I am in the U.S. and have access to a fax. If you want to email me the document(s), I can fax them for you. Just PM me if this would help.

 

Within the USA I used to send documents by scanning and then turning them into pdf. Then just send via online faxing One such business is : Easy Online Fax | FaxFresh

Too long a story about faxing but all true.
Back in the dark ages I had a business and had distributors for customers up to 500 miles away that all placed stock orders on a schedule for our truck delivery. Many of the customers wanted me to get a fax so that I could receive orders by fax, for convenience and accuracy, rather than have them call in the order . Most orders involved a lot of lines of part numbers. I wanted a fax that could "broadcast" to my customers so I could send reminders or changes in schedules, whatever. A fax that would broadcast back then was $1,000.00 but I figured it would be worth it as I could put one message in the fax and send it to up to 100 customers at once. A regular fax machine I think was about $200.00 at the time. I actually only had about 40 that had faxes as it was still sort of new technology. $1,000.00 and broadcast, or $200.00 and cannot broadcast? I gritted my teeth and paid the 1,000.00 and then paid AT&T $450.00 for installation and some kind of exorbitant monthly fee for a dedicated toll free fax line. I then told the office girls to call and get the fax numbers of the customers that wanted the service. They gave me the list and without exception EVERY CUSTOMER said they did not have a dedicated line and we had to call them first so they could switch their telephone line in order for us to send them a fax. My "Broadcasting" money had been a total waste. LOL
For you kids out there, back then many had faxes but only one telephone line. If they wanted to send or receive a fax they would unplug the telephone line and plug it into the fax. Therefore if you wanted to send them a fax and they were cheapskates and didn't have a dedicated fax line, you had to call them first so they could change the line to the fax. A telephone line is a wire that comes out of the wall and is connected to the telephone company.
