Congrats for deciding to go online with your fax needs. This is a large move towards saving not just money and paper, but also the environment. Not to mention make the handling of documents you send and receive more organized. So now the big question, exactly what Internet Fax service should you use? They all seem to offer more or less the same thing but there must be some features that separate them all isn't there? This article will explain the 3 things to consider before choosing a fax to email company.

#1 Number of pages you can Send or Receive and what do additional pages cost

Here's the biggest difference you'll find with most online fax services. While the subscription fee might be the same or similar some companies will allow you to send and receive a certain number of pages each month, some only allow you to receive and charge you to send, and yet still others will charge you on top of your monthly fee to do both sending and receiving faxes.

Look for a provider that allows you to send a set number of pages and receive a set number of pages each month. Also, watch out for how much it costs per page to send and receive above those limits each month.

#2 Toll-free or Local Fax number? What's the cost difference?

Some online fax services offer both local and Toll-free fax numbers. This may be a paid or free service. If you want a local number because you only deal with local businesses then be sure to find a service that offers local numbers in your city. Of course the same holds true for a toll-free number. If you want a toll-free number be sure you find an online fax service that doesn't charge extra per page to have that toll-free number.

#3 Monthly Cost

Take note, this is the last item we're considering. Why? Simple, most of these online fax services are within a few dollars of each other in their month cost. How ever when you take into consideration those first two items one Internet fax service could be far more expensive then another.
