Internet faxing (or “online faxing”) is a general term which refers to sending a document facsimile using the Internet, rather than using only phone networks (traditional faxing) with a fax machine (via Wikipedia).
Below I mentioned top 5 Internet Based Faxing Services. I picked 10+ Internet Based Online Fax Services, but found the below 5 most worthy. These internet fax services include both free and paid services.
#1 – GotFreeFax.com : Using this service you can send up to 2 faxes in a day for free to any number in the U.S. and Canada.
They provide you an online rich text editor to compose a fax. You can also upload a PDF /Word file from your computer. Now you need to type the recipient’s fax number and click send. GotFreeFax won’t add any logo or ad to your faxes. For sending fax to an international number, you need to buy credits through PayPal.

Great list! You are very effective. Hope you could also try services of other internet fax providers. 😉

This is a great alternative if you don’t have a fax machine.
I never knew about online fax services before. But I must say that it’s a great service especially to those individuals who don’t have any available fax machine in times of need. I’m pretty interested with their rates though.
What about faxes in INDIA ?? do they work …!?? r is it only for sending it to US alone ??
FaxFree is pretty sweet too and I use it for my faxing needs.

I see offices still using fax in spite of email and other great services.

I guess now days FAX is not much required as email and other powerful mediums are in market. But I will love to have look about this service once.

Thanks Pradeep. I've only used eFax before, but will definitely check out the others since you recommended. eFax's service can be slow and clumsy at times anyway.
