MonFax

What MonFax is

MonFax is a web fax service with virtual numbers for receiving faxes and sending them from a computer. Incoming faxes are free and unlimited; they are converted to PDF and sent immediately to the user's email, and can also be viewed in the client space. Users can send a document through the MonFax interface or email it for faxing without signing in. They can add a signature by scanning one or creating it online, and download a transmission verification report for each fax sent. MonFax says it charges only for successful transmissions, except when failures result from a remote problem. The free-number plan and local-number plan each include 10 email addresses. The local number costs €29.88 a year, billed without VAT, and covers the UK and 11 other countries. Outgoing fax credits are sold separately: the listed 4.90 GBP purchase covers 30 faxes and remains valid for one month, subject to page and duration terms. Optional online archiving stores received faxes in the client space for one year and is listed at 19,90 € w/o VAT annually. The service is made by BJT PARTNERS SARL, whose registered office is in Montrouge, France.
