Five Reasons Why Online Faxing is Better Than a Fax Machine

1) Researching And Buying A Fax Machine Is An Investment Of Time and Money

Your basic fax machine runs about $50 while a full featured fax machine will set you back over $500. With over a dozen different brands and hundreds of different models, you can spend hours researching and comparing differences. Finally, even with preventative maintenance, your fax machine will eventually breakdown, forcing you to once again research, pay, and setup another fax machine.
 

With online faxing, there is no machine to buy or replace. Faxing is done either through your email or using a browser.

2) Fax Machines Require you to Buy Ink Replacement Cartridges

Have you ever noticed how ridiculously high the cost of ink cartridges are compared to the price of a printer? It almost makes sense to buy a new printer than to buy replacement ink. Make no mistake, this is by design. Expensive ink replacement is just one of several business models based upon selling a one time product for very little and making up the difference with a product that the consumer is required to buy.
 

Online faxing means you’ll never be locked into the endless cycle of buying expensive and short-lived ink cartridges.

3) Fax Machines Need Paper

“Going green” is more than a cool marketing buzz word. It’s a real opportunity for companies to cut costs and save money. When you have a fax machine, you will get hit with paper costs not only when you receive a fax, but also when you send a fax you typically print the document in order to fax it.
 

With online faxing, all faxes are delivered to your private email box. Besides the extra security from prying eyes, it also means no more paper.

4) Fax Machines Need A Phone Line

All fax machines, no matter how shiny or new, require one thing in common: a phone line. With Business Phone Lines running between $35/month for local calling and $50/month for nationwide calling, having a fax machine with a dedicated phone line can turn very expensive, very quick.
 

All you need to have with online faxing is an internet connection, which you probably already have. Online faxing does not need a dedicated phone line and all calls to the continental United States are included.

5) You Can’t Fax If You Are Not In Your Office

It’s pretty simple: If you have a fax machine and you are out of office….there is no way for you to send or receive faxes till you get back.
 

Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of sending and receiving online faxes from anywhere you have an internet connection.

When you compare the cost of online faxing to a traditional fax machine, the answer is clear: Online faxing is cheaper than buying a fax machine.
