Elijah Keller (ID: 000000a463d28140) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/06/2023 Best thing if you need to fax quickly and don't have a fax by hand. No subscription needed, just pay for a single fax. Great for occasional faxing.

icon

Theresa Montoya (ID: 0000003816ae9ca9) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/25/2023 THIS IS NOT FREE. Makes you think your downloading a free-of-charge extension then the old bait-and-switch. Greedy misleading marketing at its best. Shame on them.

Henry King (ID: 0000004c246d46be) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/30/2021 After uploading the document for faxing I am able to edit it. I can add any text and format it, then I can paint using pen or marker. So it is very easy to fill in the document or mark anything important. And I don't need another app for preparing document for faxing. Number one in online faxing!

Miami Autotrading (ID: 000000fa7b3f1938) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/02/2021 Especially useful if you send faxes only from time to time. No subscription need. After uploading the documents, just fax them and pay for a single fax.

dwayne church (ID: 000000c21d2b1807) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/03/2021 Bait & switch. Not free at all.
