A reply stated that receiving faxes from efax is free. It is not free.
For a price, they allow you to receive a certain number of faxes per
month. Currently, it's 200 for 19.95 and .10 for each page after
that. Sending is also not free. They charge .10 per page.

How hard it is to navigate the efax web pages? It's called their
"eFaxFree" plan. If it is really that difficult for you to click a
single link on their page to get the 2nd page describing their plans,
here it is spoonfed to you:

With almost all free services, there are quota limits to prevent users
from abusing the free service. Their free receive-only service limits
you to 20 faxes per month. If you are looking at *free* services then
you are looking for low- or personal-volume services. You really need
to get more than 20 faxes in a month? There is only one remaining
entity that is so far behind the times that the idiots think faxes are
required as though the electronically transferred signature on a
document actually is the user's real signature - and that's the
government. The only time I have to do faxing is with the government.
Anyone else can manage to deal with e-mails and then waste the paper if
they feel compelled to have a hardcopy.

By receiving faxes via e-mail using their FREE service, I can read that
fax from anywhere. I don't need to be at home. I use the webmail
interface to my e-mail account while travelling, or at work for faxes
sent to me at home (well, sent to my free efax account). I can manage
old received faxes. I can even mail them back after modification but
not through eFax but instead using my own fax modem.

I did not say sending was free and why I suggested the OP get a $10 fax
modem card. I said RECEIVING faxes was free. I didn't mention the
quota limit because the OP never indicated their need was for business
use. You NEVER use free services for business; otherwise, you really
aren't running a business but are instead operating a hobby.
