In their own words
FaxBurner
FaxBurner is an online fax service for sending and receiving documents through an app, email or supported computers. Its free service does not require a credit card and includes a temporary fax number lasting 24 hours, five pages total to send and 25 inbound pages per month. Paid plans make the number permanent: Professional costs $14.95 a month for 500 inbound and outbound pages per month, while Premier costs $24.95 a month for 2,000 pages per month.
Users can fax from Gmail, Outlook or another inbox, and send PDFs, JPEGs, PNGs, scans, photos and uploaded files. Features include archiving, online signing, combining files and creating faxes from photos. FaxBurner supports iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, Mac, Windows and Linux; faxes are delivered through secure servers to the app inbox or email. The service provides FAQs and a Help Center, but no compliance support. Cancelling or downgrading may make a paid number temporary again and restore free-tier limits. FaxBurner says it has operated since 2010.
