Update 2/14/2017: The www.faxitnice.com website is no longer working. I use www.ringplus.com now for occasional faxes (they can give you a $9.99 pay per use plan if you call them)
Original post (9/5/2007) below:
I had to send an urgent fax today and did not have access to a fax machine. I signed up first for eFax. Then I realized that I could not send faxes without paying a monthly subscription. I then went to this Wikipedia page and looked at the list of online fax providers. I finally decided on FaxItNice.
The nice part about FaxItNice is that you have the option of not paying a monthly fee. And the credits do not expire. This served me well because I do not send faxes regularly. And I do not want to pay a monthly fee for something I will not use regularly. I uploaded 2 word files and 1 excel file and there were no issues sending them. I went for their Sending Only Plan which costs 18 cents per page to send faxes to the US.
Bottomline: Definitely recommended for people who want to have the ability to send faxes online.

Thanks, I\’m going to sign up for this now. I didn\’t like the monthly subscription on eFax either.
I\’ve been using Faxitnice for several months now, and more often than not I have problems. The web interface can be painfully slow, and the Faxtastic application doesn\’t refresh properly (usually I have to close/reopen to get a refresh). I\’ve opened 3 or 4 service tickets and it\’s usually several days before I get a response. There isn\’t enough in the way of documentation, either.
While I have successfully sent faxes, I have yet to successfully receive one (service ticket response was \”this feature works\” with no further explanation).
Hope others have better luck than I have. If you haven\’t already signed up for this service, I\’d advise finding a different one!
Here is a big article with a full walkthrough of FaxIt Nice\’s services, and it also has a ton (45 right now) reviews from their users, you should check it out if you are planning on trying them:

Declan Shanaghy who is the owner of FaxItNice has been unresponsive and will not return calls or respond to an open ticket which has been unanswered for the past week. I have not been able to receive faxes for a whole week despite the fact that they’re very prompt about taking my money. If you are even thinking about signing up, don’t! You’ll regret having ever done business with them.
