I have plenty of subscriptions for various services and those costs have started to creep on me. Given the level of faxing, I do these days it no longer made sense to me to maintain a Fax subscription as my usage no longer justified the costs. I did however still retain the need for sending the once-in-a-blue-moon fax. I also wanted to use a service that was established and reputable so that my data privacy was not being abused. Having read several online reviews I wound up using faxZero for the occasional fax. In return for being able to send up to a 3 Page fax for free it comes with branding from faxZero on the cover page, fair enough trade-off in my mind. If I have a need, and only once do I remember this, I can also pay to send a fax of greater length and the price is about $2 which is not unreasonable and lets be honest, the convenience factor is nice.

There are not a lot of downsides to using the service. If I was needing to fax something of a professional nature like a reference for a job or a resume I would not be keen on sending it through with a branded fax page. It is never been a big deal to me, but there is no cover page designer so if that was something important you will not find it. I would also say, as someone who is pretty careful with Privacy I would not want to send private personal information like medical records as I still am not confident in the security. They do have a fully disclosed Privacy policy online. The information on the retention of Personally Identifiable Information is a little vague. I guess the only other critique is that it is a little bare bones, but hard to complain about it when the service is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
