This free service is supported by, yep, you guessed it, ad revenue. But you know what… it really doesn’t bother me one bit. I think this is great.

The convenience and simplicity they have built in is fantastic. You can type in text to fax, or if you already have a document you need to fax, you can attach a PDF file, Microsoft Word Doc, or an Excel Spreadsheet.

The free version of FaxZero has a two fax per day limitation, but this is fine with me as I don’t have a need to send many more than that anyway. As you would expect, you can send faxes that do not have any ads on the cover page. To send a fax without any ads will cost $1.99 per fax.

Make it a great Day!

Including recording. http://shanehall.com/tools/conference-calling-free-including-recording/ http://shanehall.com/tools/conference-calling-free-including-recording/#comments Fri, 26 Jan 2007 01:51:12 +0000 shane http://shanehall.com/2007/01/25/conference-calling-free-including-recording/ This is one of my favorite tools out there… if you are an infopreneur, consultant, life coach, business coach, or any other entrepreneur that has a need to utilize conference calls… you should probably check out FreeConferencecall.com. They even offer free recording for playback or download. I often hold teleconferences using this service.

Another site with a similar and great service is FreeConference.com.

Both sites are very similar, but the the first one (freeconferencecall.com) offers free recording so I tend to use that one now more than the other. Additionally, they offer a couple of other services that I like, such as Online meetings and Voice Messaging (both in and out).

The have great features and as of right now you can get a true 800 number for free. Most of the time you have to pay a premium for a true 800 number instead of an 866 or 877 number.

They also have pretty much all of the features you can find anyplace ese, such as:

  • Call Forwarding
  • voicemail
  • Follow Me
  • Multiple Boxes
  • Marketing Extensions
  • Dial by Name
  • Call Screening
  • Call Out
  • Call Logs
  • Online administration
  • ….etc…

There are certainly others that are good as well. It usually comes down to the provider that you have the best experience with at the time… and RingCentral was that provider for me as I my experience with their customer service quite nice.

Good luck!

Make it a great day!

If you need a little money, up to $25,000, you may find just what you are looking for at Prosper.com. This site essentially enables users to lend and borrow from one another through this fantastic tool.

If you need to grow your business, buy some equipment, increase your inventory, or any other need you may have… just sign up, and ask.

OR, maybe you have a little extra money to lend someone. Go to Prosper.com to lend some money and make a nice return. The risk is of course still there, but this model, and the chance for greater return since you aren’t using a middleman (i.e. the bank), certainly makes this an opportunity worth checking out.
