Internet fax

February 26, 2004 ·  

I disconnected two phone lines today in response to the escalating cost of renting them and the purchase of my new mobile.I kept the business line, which has a Message Bank service.

One of the disconnected lines was used for fax and modem. It’s inconvenient that Internet connections will now have to be made through the single phone line, but down the track I hope to use Internet call waiting.

Meanwhile, I will probably divert the phone to my mobile during the day.

I’ve set up a fax account with mBox. By some means of magic they transform faxes into PDF files and e-mail them to me. I have a dedicated fax number.

There’s an $8 monthly charge for this service, so I cancelled caller ID on the remaining land line to balance this cost.

I’ll monitor the total call costs over the next few months to see if I’m ahead. I think there will be savings, and even if it breaks even I’ve got the bonus of a new mobile/organiser.
