Like you I do not get many faxes but the few (maybe one or two a month) could be important (e.g. customer faxing an error message). And I only need this service when traveling abroad. So leaving a PC on in the office and logging in from abroad could be a little complicated. So I will probably buy the $X per month service and then cancel it. I am traveling abroad in September (for about 2 weeks) and this is why I need this service. But in the long run I may cancel my fax telephone line in the office (which will save about $25 a month) and just use the fax-to-email service. The only thing is that on most of my literature, business cards, etc. there is the current fax number.
Thank you very much for your input.
