PDF24 used to be a way to send a fax to European fax numbers. It was a gratis service. It’s still advertised as such but it’s broken now.

The US is covered by faxzero.com, but for faxing outside the US they charge an absurd $2.09 per fax (more than postage in a lot of places). They are also Paypal-only. Fuck paypal.

Any suggestions?

      Sorry to say, both have failed me. On fax.plus I cannot register because the “Register” button is faded and unclickable. I cannot work out what causes that and what it expects.

      Onlinefax.io lets you upload a file without using Google Drive, but then you must login to a Google account to go further. So I’m still looking for options.

          Thanks for the tip! I would have dismissed that quickly had I discovered it myself because the pricing page shows $5/month as that cheapest. But in fine print at the bottom there is a free fax option. I have not tested it but it could turn out to be quite useful.

      Looks like a couple good finds there. The 2nd one put me off at 1st w/an apparent dependency on Google drive, but after clicking forward it’s clear that we can skip Google and do a direct upload.

      Thanks for the links!
