Number of Faxes
-
Each online fax service offers a different package of fax services. One of the most important considerations is the number of fax transmissions included each month. A good way to compare different services is to divide the monthly fee by the number of faxes allowed each month to arrive at a price per fax.
Over-the-Limit Fee
-
Online fax services charge a per-fax fee for every fax sent or received over the monthly limit defined in your service agreement. Pay careful attention to this fee, especially if you send or receive a lot of faxes. Going over the limit can be expensive.
-
Hidden Fees and Discounts
-
Some online fax services have hidden fees, like a startup fee or fees for storage of faxes on their server for extended periods of time. Other services offer discounts for long-term service plans. Typically, signing up for a year or more can save you a substantial percentage over the monthly price.
