Tips & Warnings
FaxZero is a free service; however, it does have some disadvantages. You can only fax three pages, which will be sent with a cover letter advertisement, and only two free faxes per day are allowed. If you plan on sending multiple faxes daily, there are many options for monthly subscription-based pay plans.
