Re: Well.... quote:
If I remove this "e-Values" plan from my fax line, then I can't send any LD fax. Translation: Without a LD "plan", I can't dial LD at all. So, I'm stuck paying $5.50/mo for the capability to make a LD call, should I need to. Note, if I wanted the capability to make a LD call on line 1, too, that would be ANOTHER $5.50/mo!
Why can't I just be charged per minute for any LD calls I may make? Why do I have to pay for a "plan" I don't use? Am I supposed to believe that something is technically different on my 2nd line to warrant this $5.50/mo charge, other than maybe "flipping a switch"? It's like paying for a pay-per-view movie without ordering a movie!
You do have 2 options to choose from if you want to drop your LD:
1] Use a 10-10-xxx dialaround
2] Buy a LD calling card at your nearest Gas Station/Convience store.
Easy solutions to your dilemma. |

1) Buy a desktop scanner.
2) go to MaxEmail.com, sign up for a fax account.
3) cancel landline plans.
3) Send and receive faxes all you like.
It's what I do. I haven't paid for separate long distance in years. Like...a decade. When 10-10-811 was huge. Yeah, that long ago. |

Willseyville, NY | The problem with MaxEmail.com seems to be you cannot just pay per fax sent. It looks like you need at a minimum $10 setup fee and $2 a month. That's better, but not great. |

Think business. Nobody would make money off of a 100% electronic, mobile office solution if they just charged per fax.
Besides, the setup fee is marginal and you can pay a year in advance. It's really a small amount and I've never been charged for any fax sent or received. It goes anywhere with me. Cross it up with a Blackberry Storm or an iPhone and you have an office on the move. Plus I have a toll free number, which is definitely more professional than some long distance mess.
Also, keep in mind that you would not have to pay separately for a phone line or services. When I worked at PacBell basic phone service - just the dialtone, no long distance - was $15/month. Add a long distance carrier and that price went up quite a bit. Even at $15/month that's....what...$180 a year not including long distance? It's just not worth it. |
