EFAX will share 20% of the fax via internet market,and right now EFAX is not even the leader in this market. Yesterday,FAXX was rated #1 by IDC.BTW FAXX is at $8 right now,a little higher than EFAX will be in a couple of weeks.

So I sign for a eFax number, but I have never gotten a fax in my life. I just saw all the hype and thought hey, cool, free sh*t, get me some. So does eFax pay money for the number I just took up and have no intention of using? How long will that number be mine before they recycle it? Do you know how many other non-fax users signed up for a number just because they could? Phone numbers are a lot more limited then say free email addresses. Does eFax have to carry the cost. What a waste if so. Happy faxing.

Steve, It took 13 minutes to receive the fax I sent this morning. Speedy delivery is no doubt important, but what's more important is the point I brought up earlier. Once a business traveler receives a fax by email, how does he get a hard copy? Most don't carry a printer, as far as I know. Without the means to get a hard copy, the service is of little value. The concept sounds nice, but not very practical.

Regards,

Tom

Steve, another EFAX user sent me his EFAX number and we ran a test. EFAX sent out the email containing my fax about 3 minutes after I sent the fax. It was 3 more minutes before the email reached the user, but that is a function of the email system. EFAX did their job within 3 minutes, not bad.

I have had no reports of any busy signals so I assume that each user has a unique phone line.
