Sending a Fax Without a Fax Machine

Have you ever wondered how to send a fax without using a fax machine, modem, or phone line? In this article, we’ll explain how to do it using free resources like FaxZero and a 30-day trial of MyFax.

If you choose FaxZero, keep in mind that there are limitations: no more than three pages at a time and five faxes per day. The MyFax trial allows you to send up to 100 pages, but you'll need a credit card to register. After 30 days, you’ll be prompted to pay $10 (approximately 600 rubles). If you decide not to continue with MyFax, simply close your account before the trial period ends.
