New Feature: Send Faxes

**Montano** · 03-08-2008 12:37 PM

According to the thread @ Hostgator the price is $4.95/mo or $24/year. This includes a combination of in/out faxes not to exceed 100 faxes/mo. Additional faxes over 100/mo are charged @ 25 cents each.

Thanks, I don't have any reason to go to Hostgator. I think that's consistent with what Tim had forecast here a while back, but then it was only for the inbound. Heck, at $2/mo, for both directions, it'd be hard to pass up!

Well my dad is one of those old folks who has no long distance on his POTS line. He uses his cell to make LD calls. He does, however, have a fax machine and likes to send me faxes now and then. I don't know if he can dial an 800 number or not on his home line, so that's why I asked

Local fax numbers are coming at launch, yes. Coverage is similar, but will vary slightly from voice coverage.

No problems with it. PM me the destination number.

Was it a real fax number or a fax service that could have errored out?

I just did a test and faxed myself something.

I just sent a test fax to my wife @ work. I tried 3 times on Monday, but she never got it. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Let me know if she doesn't get it this time. I can check logs. The earlier issue seemed to be a problem with .tiff files. PDF and other formats worked fine.
