As it turned out we had to keep one line at the house for the security system to dial out. As it turned out the fee for the stripped down one line phone service was not any more than the internet fax service. Now we have the one line at the house for security AND fax and use the cell phones for primary voice calls. Another perk is the land line is a more reliable connection in natural disasters and for 911. Another option for multiple use lines is a switch. <a>Fax Switch</a> We contemplated switching our phone lines to our cell phones for our small business and getting an internet fax service for the fax line.

I do that too. When I'm back from a trip, I scan all of my receipts using either a CardScan (it's for business cards but also perfect for little receipts such as from taxicabs) or I'll use my NeatReceipts scanner. I create PDFs of everything and attach to a PDF of my QuickBooks invoice. Steven, thanks for mentioning the option of scanning documents so you can send via email. I do that too.

Don't really need one now. I do have an efax number which is very useful for incoming faxes...plus like you said it's free. I also have an office jet printer/scanner/copy/fax machine and it works great! In regards to using the snail mail process, I have a stamps.com account. There's a monthly fee. However, the time you save by driving to and standing in line at the post office is well worth the cost. thanks Just yesterday I was contemplating on getting a 800 number. Don’t really need one now.
