I'm looking for an internet fax app -- anyone use one that they can recommend?
I'm willing to pay but would rather it be a per-use fee instead of a subscription. I'm seeing a bunch that I can do a free trial and then cancel, but I'd like those to be my last resort.

Sorry. The last non work things I faxed (one of our lab printers did faxing) I just went to a local Staples or Office Depot.

I use Office Max to FAX GCNP Permit requests. For years had been accustomed to a confirmation of message sent. The other day went to Office Max to send in my April request and the process has changed. The old reliable FAX machine has been upgraded to a program on the copy machine. There is no confirmation. I was told that the receipt and charge to my debit is confirmation the FAX was sent. No more listening to the dial tone. A bit discerning. I guess the validation will be sometime around the 10th of December when I get notice of permit success or failure from the Backcountry Office.
Will be following this thread. Thanks for the post.

I was going to say just find a friend with a multifunction printer but I guess the number of people with a landline for it are rapidly dwindling.
I didn't realize about the permit reason. The main personal reason for FAX'ing these days is for medical records. My company has some customers that the invoices have to be FAX'd into a antique automated system for processing.

Well, I used "PayGo Fax" (https://www.paygofax.com/). Almost feels too easy to be legit... no account, no credit card, free for 2 pages or less. Got a confirmation email with a transmission number.
Guess we'll know soon enough!

jazzmom Did you fax in a permit request? I did, though nothing too exciting -- a 3-night quickie.  Life has been a little hectic and I really just wanted (*needed*) to have a placeholder at the Canyon in April. |

jazzmom Did you fax in a permit request? Denied.  I really need a spring trip. Can't get myself to cancel Death Valley until I have something else to look forward to. It's the only way I can get through these Michigan winters... |

I really need a spring trip. Bring your own tent, and come paddling with us. |
