Q: Are there any internet fax companies that will be wearing my fax number existing so I do not have to change it?
A: Most Internet fax services can port existing fax numbers, which in some cases can provide a smoother transition. However, it does not come cheap and not all the fax numbers are portable.
Fax87, one of our favorite Internet fax, charges a $ 25 fee for porting an eligible number. This process takes 1-5 weeks to complete and you can not use their services until the number is ported. Make sure you do not cancel your current service until the porting is complete!
MetroFax also porting fax number, and it also costs $ 25 and usually takes 10-14 working days. Before beginning this process, contact your current provider to make sure your fax number is permissible, then read on the transfer process for each of internet fax services.
Remember, many of these Internet fax services, including Fax87 and MyFax, you can provide a toll free number at no additional cost. This can ultimately save you, and people on the other side of the fax, a lot of money.
