I think there is a fax facility in Skype (in extras) if that's any good

I just typed the question into skype: -

Is it possible to send and receive a fax with Skype?

And got the answer: -

Skype does not have a function to allow you to send or receive a fax

You might ask one of the local estate agents if you can use their fax machine & number for a price...

RE msg 1: Alternative, your PC and the Internet: try [ sending faxes ] in Google (without the brackets). Hundreds of possibilities.

If you have Skype, try the following:



Open Skype and on the top line, ckick "Tools"

Then, hold your mouse over "Extras" then scroll down to "Send Fax". If it's not there, you can set it up by clicking "Get Extras". Click "Business" then click "PamFax".



I've used it and it works very well. Free to set up and a few pennies to send.



I do not believe you can receive a fax with Skype.



Simples.
