need fax to email
those are some great suggestions above.
I heard someone else mention google fax and sending faxes through gmail. This is pretty valuable to be able to get everything in one place. I get my voicemails, emails and faxes in my gmail account.
Had it set up this way for a while now. I put together a few notes on how to set it up.

If you’re an Australian customer or wish to receive in Australia (or if you’re an international customer who wishes to send anywhere in the world, and/or receive on an Australian number) you can use UTBox for internet fax and email to fax.
I’ve just finished making some videos which I’ve uploaded to youtube which you can see the process in action. The video is titled Receiving fax to email with UTBox and Gmail.
@FiveKitten — Thanks for your valuable feed back..
Found your post in search results for gmail fax services or something like that. I just looked into that Packetel service and it looks very affordable and easy to use – just what I’m looking for. I think USA outgoing faxes were 7 cents a page, but I primarily need it for incoming faxes. Still, the 7 cents a page is cheaper than the $1.99 I was spending at faxzero or something like that for up to 15 pages (which was their limit). Faxzero (I’m not affiliated in any way) offers one free page faxed, and I’ve found it very handy for short and quick faxes, but now I need something more for incoming. If anyone browsing around here has used Packetel I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments here on their services. Although I’m thinking it’s cheap enough that if I don’t like it I won’t lose much. (You do have to pay the $3.95 in 3 month increments at a time by the way, but there are no hidden charges.) Just want to say thanks for the valuable lead!
