I love this idea. I keep asking friends about a reasonable online fax service, and the only one that keeps coming up is eFax, which seems good for businesses, doesn't seem to serve individuals well.
Most of us never need to send faxes, until we need do. When we need to deal with faxing, it's likely related to some event. A job offer, housing paperwork, refinancing, etc.
I would love the following two payment options:
- $1-$5 to send a fax. This seems totally within reason. Driving to find someplace with a fax, waiting in line, exposing your document to some clerk, etc. The one-time fee gives me the service I want with no commitment.
- $10-$20 for bigger faxing 'events'. I should be able to send unlimited faxes (which in reality will be <10 but makes me feel better they are not metered) AND have a temporary incoming fax number that I can receive faxes on, which forward to an email address. This service could be available for 30 calendar days from the moment you buy.
Nail those two things and I think you've nailed the modern use cases for faxing.
- guiseppecalzone 17y agoThis comment is really, really helpful. -We get the one off faxing market. -But, we continue to pursue the business part of the market as well. I was talking to my co-founder about having a free, advertised tier as well. We don't do random adds. Rather, we do cover page which talks about hellofax. Might be a good way to expand our user base. What do you think? I appreciate the feedback!
