We quickly ran into some issues going the email-to-fax method. We found Nextiva to be one of the cheapest options for virtual faxes, but after signing up, it was discovered that you’d need to purchase a $150.00 Fax Bridge device in order for your physical fax machine to receive ones sent to your virtual fax machine. (What?!) As for TrustFax and other “eFaxes”, we found that you’d need to spend around $120 to qualify for the $10.89/mo package, allowing for 500 faxes per month (ouch).

When we did get this method to finally work via TrustFax, we noticed that the resulting fax didn’t look anything like the email. To put it simply, it looked awful.
