Sending and receiving a Fax could be a pain sometimes when you don’t find a Fax Machine nearby. How about doing it from home without a Fax Machine. Yes, I am not kidding. It is possible with HelloFax. It allows to send Fax to a physical Fax machine as well as a copy to given email address (optional). In the same way, your Fax number will work exactly like Fax Machine, but all the fax sent to your Fax Number will be forwarded to you by email as PDF document.
HelloFax also allows to integrate it with Google Docs, so you can send Fax directly without leaving Google. It also allows to sign documents before you fax with HelloSign, and you can login to HelloSign with HelloFax account.

Free HelloFax account
There is one thing I didn’t like. According to their documentation on Chrome App store, they claim to be running special offer, and will give free 50 Fax Pages each month for 6 months to all new users. However, I signed up for the first, and got usual 5 free fax, and then account needs to be upgraded. Sending an email to their support team may help me to get that offer for six months, but I have not tried this. Free HelloFax account doesn’t allow to receive Faxes.
So HelloFax is actually a Virtual Fax machine that works like real Fax.
