MyFax

MyFax (which is owned by the exact same massive parent company as eFax, J2 Global/Consensus) is a highly reliable, widely used online fax service that operates as the slightly more affordable, consumer- and small-business-focused sibling to the enterprise-heavy eFax. While eFax targets massive hospital networks, MyFax specifically targets the independent lawyer, the local real estate agent, and the solo entrepreneur who needs to kill their physical fax machine. The core differentiator of MyFax is its "Extreme Simplicity and Email-Centric Architecture." The entire platform is built around the concept of "Fax by Email." A user simply opens their standard Gmail or Outlook account, attaches a PDF, types the recipient's fax number into the 'To' field (e.g., 15551234567@myfax.com), and clicks send. The physical fax machine on the other end prints it out perfectly. There is almost zero learning curve. Furthermore, MyFax is heavily renowned for its highly generous international faxing allowances. Many base plans include the ability to fax to nearly 50 countries without incurring massive per-minute international long-distance fees, making it a favorite for small import/export businesses. For solo professionals and SMBs who simply want a cheap, incredibly easy way to send and receive faxes via their existing email inbox, MyFax is highly effective.
