RingCentral Online Fax
RingCentral Fax is a compelling web-based product which includes fax services for home-office professionals, and small, medium and large businesses. The service does not require hardware or software installed for any of its three plans: Fax 300, Fax 1000 or Fax 2500. For starters, RingCentral Fax offers an annual payment option which can save you up to 25% on any of the plans chosen.
The cheapest plan offered by RingCentral is Fax 300, which starts at a $9.99 monthly fee or $7.99 per month discounted fee if paid for a year in advance. The Fax 300 plan includes 300 free pages per month, with $0.059 for each additional page. The plan also includes a toll free or local number for voice and fax, as well as the option to receive faxes in both your email and online accounts.
With RingCentral’s Fax 300 plan you can also send faxes from any Microsoft Windows application. All you need to do is click on the RingCentral Fax icon on the application toolbar or select it from the File menu. With RingCentral you can also receive fax alerts on your cell phone or PDA and block junk faxes. All faxes are sent through a secure, encrypted connection, and you can choose to store them in a password-protected online account. Included in every package is also a free FaxEditor tool which allows you to sign and edit your faxes electronically. Using this software you can preview your faxes before printing, design cover sheets or annotate the pages you are sending.
