This is awesome! Just out of curiosity, who (or what) do you use on the back-end? Is there like a Twilio for faxes?

- petertb 9y agoTwilio do faxes! Not sure if this is what they're using though. https://www.twilio.com/fax/ https://www.twilio.com/fax/
- gkoberger 9y agoThe Twilio for faxes is just Twilio! https://www.twilio.com/fax https://www.twilio.com/fax
- fomojola 9y agoHey, thanks. Twilio actually does do faxes, but this was built prior to Twilio dipping their toes into the fax waters. We use Phaxio (https://www.phaxio.com/ https://www.phaxio.com/): the API is nice and clean and we've had an entirely happy time working with it.

- rabidonrails 9y agoPhaxio! I'm a founder :) Our goal is to provide devs that have mission-critical applications with the most reliable and redundant faxing capabilities. (If you've dealt with faxing, you know it's annoyingly finicky.) Re: We're fans of Twilio, but our approach to solving this problem is significantly different. (I'm answering the second question above, not necessarily the first) edit: I guess I was answering both :)
- Gaelan 9y agoHuh. Looking at phaxio's prices, faxrocket is charging a huge premium. For a techie, is there a reason to use faxrocket vs curling to phaxio? Edit: I guess the phone number makes faxrocket a better deal for low usage, but phaxio becomes much cheaper quickly.
