Hardly a day goes by that I don't get or send one.

I've found that doctor's offices are some of the worst when coming to upgrading to new technology. I have to fax doctor's offices copies of invoives all the time. Pain in the ass.

One of our clients is a world-wide fiber optic cable maker and they STILL need faxes to verify invoices. Blows my mind.

Only at work. Have never needed one at home but would be lost without one at work.

our hotel uses the fax machine for corp. and 3rd party reservations (travelocity, orbitz, etc.) which we have to enter into the web based system anyway. Hmmmm

But faxing, I sometimes just don't have a choice to send a fax. Everyone has faxes, but not everyone has IM, PDFs, SMS, and other communication methods.

When I did my mortgage, I was able to scan the entire tome and send the PDF electronically. To the escrow company, I was also able to do the same thing. Even when I dealt with my property manager, I still had the ability to send a PDF.

But to get something for my doctor????? I had to send a fax, just a few months ago.

Do you still fax? When was the last time?

Well from time to time someone insist on sending them a fax instead of email. I don't have a fax machine so I resorted to having an online fax service from Onesuite.com Well, its cheap and prepaid and I can send/receive a fax where ever I am.

Last time I've use it was 3 days ago.

I don't have a fax machine at the house, since im used to sending emails. So now the only place I use it is in the office about 4 or 5 times a day.

While several of our suppliers have upgraded to electronic transfer, most have us simply fax in our orders. I have to generate hard copies for receiving, so the added step of faxing isn't overly burdensome... except on Mondays when the order volume is greatest.

We've got one supplier who must have a real crappy machine. Most weeks I get a call to clarify the order... they confuse "0" "6" "8" and "9" a lot! It would be easier to phone the order in.
