Are You Faxing?

Categories

During the Gotham Long Island Women’s group meeting last week (which was phenomenal as always) Corey mentioned that he had just received a fax. Faxing is a concept that I have given a lot of thought to lately.

 

In my office I use Efax. I have a fax “number," but all my faxing goes through my email. Prior to the pandemic, I was very dependent on faxing. Most judges and courts required any correspondence to be faxed.  Since the pandemic, I rarely if ever, send or receive faxes. Almost all of my correspondence is sent through email. Even correspondence to and from the courts and judges are now all through email.

 

 

So, I have been thinking about getting rid of my fax number. For the past two years the only faxes I seem to be receiving on my office fax are roofing ads. As I rent an office in a commercial office building those ads are meaningless to me.

 

I am still very hesitant, however, to let my fax number go. I am not sure where my hesitancy comes from other than it seems so final to me.

 

Are you still faxing? Why? Or why not?

Rarely but like you my faxes go to email so I can view on multiple devices. BTW, was not receiving a fax but someone was wrongly sending a fax to my landline. I google the # and found the Dr's office that was sending and got them to stop it.

You can get of your fax line and still receive faxes. We have a solution at Xerox. Feel free to email me.

I had a hard-wired office number for maybe 2 decades. At some point I realized I rarely used it (post cell phone). I finally let it go. It felt to be a significant transition.. as well as an opening for something new.

It was a great meeting :) If you haven't used it, chances are you don't need it. Its a good gamble
