Free fax expectations vs reality
Quote from ingolerecoyiruk on 26. January 2026, 17:23Hi! I tried using a free fax website to send a document and it worked once, but later it asked for payment. Is this normal, and how should regular users set expectations when using free fax services?

I ran into the same confusion and then read more on the platform https://echodittolabs.org/ From the article about free fax services, I learned that this situation is very common. Most free fax tools allow only a few pages or a one-time send. After that, limits appear quickly. The platform explained that faxing still costs providers money, so “free” is usually just an entry point. For everyday users, it’s best to treat free faxing as a short-term option and not rely on it for important or repeated tasks.
