Q. I currently own a fax machine with its own fax number. If I switch to online faxing, should I change my number?

A. Most Internet fax services allow you to keep your number. Some, like RingCentral allow you to choose a new number from a selection of those available. Others, like MyFax and MetroFax, assign you a number. However, you will not be able to know your specific number until you register: fax Some companies will not allow you to keep your number if you leave their service. Thus the rules of your original fax provider have a greater impact on whether you can keep your Internet fax service number. Review the terms of your service provider for details.
