Hi
I am looking for a free fax service to UK fax numbers using the internet. There are countless website services or mobile apps that offer free faxes to the USA and Canada but never found one for the UK. If somebody knows about one, please inform.
Cheers

Do you have a windows compute?

If you have a microsoft of google account:

Last resort?
Buy one of these - though you will likely have to pay for the call https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...10395631.aspx?

There are many online companies that will charge you $1.10 a page for international faxes, so that may be an option if none of the others works for you.

Almost Canadian

Is there any reason why you can't scan and email it?

Email hasn't been invented yet.

Daft as it sounds there are still those that insist on receiving a fax.

Two years ago, to release a tenant's deposit I had to fill in the form and mail it off. To release the deposit more speedily required a fax of the form.

There was no email procedure, no online form on the Province website (although there is for other things) and no attachments allowed.

Speaking of things being behind the times I was in downtown Hamilton yesterday and saw a Toby's Good Eats restaurant. I hadn't seen one of those in 25 + years. I thought they had gone the way of O'Toole's, Frank Vetere's Pizza, Mother's Restaurant, Ponderosa.

I have to send Lloyds bank the form of address change. They say that they do not accept email. They need the document either by regular mail or through fax. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you so much for this information. I do have a printer with fax facility but I do not have a landline connection (I just use mobile), so cannot avail the fax option.I send a lot of faxes in Canada using free fax services available easily online.Thought somebody could suggest the same service for the UK.

Yes it does, email isn't classed as being secure for any legal stuff so a fax is required, e mail can be tampered with fax not so easy.

I think there are a few inconsistencies with this stuff.

I said above that this province insisted on a particular document by fax or snail mail only, not attached by email. But in other situations I know they accept an online form. Typing one's name apparently counts as a signature but this online form requires no log in, no registered account, nothing of any sort. That seems less secure than an email.

Legal stuff relating to property purchase/sale - the same Province - a few years ago was done by attachment to email, print, sign, scan and attach to email response and, more recently, by some sort of web resource that while one could have an account registered, one didn't need to. It was just click a link in an email, check as appropriate, type initials and respond to the email.

Of course, this is Canada not the UK but many years ago when I was working in DWP, some forms had to be faxed to a central office for immediate processing. I came across one that hadn't been signed and the person had left the office to return later in the day. He couldn't be contacted.

Rather than waste everyone's time I happened to have another document that was signed by him. I photocopied it, cut out his copied signature, stuck it in the appropriate place on the unsigned form, copied that and then faxed the photocopy.

One forged signature by "secure" fax.
