If you need to send a file to someone else, email usually does the trick. But sometimes it's desirable or necessary to send a fax. Now, with faxzero.com you can send a word document or pdf file from your computer for free.

There are some limitations -- faxes are limited to two pages, the cover page includes an ad, and you are limited to two free faxes each day. For $1.99, you can send a fax up to 15 pages long with no cover page ad.

To send a document, go to faxzero.com, fill out a short form, and upload your document file. Faxzero will then send you an email; you must click on a confirmation link before the fax is actually sent. It's quick and easy, and worth a try if you need to send a fax.
