As a freelancer, I do need access to a fax machine frequently.  Unfortunately, without consistent work, the monthly fee for eFax tends to be a bit much.  Today I discovered a new online fax service.

Packetel offers unlimited faxes sent to your email account for $3.95 per month.  Currently, you can get a fax number in eight different states for the monthly charge.  Services is limited to receiving faxes only.  

The savings that can be seen by using Packetel to receive faxes over other online fax services or even over an actual fax machine is significant.  In times when all businesses are finding ways to cut costs, this is a great savings tool and still allows you to have fax capability.
