When is the last time you sent a fax?

Yesterday I was talking about printer/scanner/copier combinations, many of those also have a fax machine. I haven't sent a fax in 4 months. But I did send a fax 4 months ago. I know most people if they have to fax something now either scan it and email it, or go to a place that faxes for you. Anyone still have a fax machine at home?

I do have a fax machine, but since I don't have landline phone service I can't use it. I almost sold it..but someone decided at the last minute they didn't want it. I sent a fax a couple of months ago to my internet provider. That is the first one I sent in years.

Once upon a time they were huge. But so was CDMA for phones.

Hmm, when I sent something to a conference I was attending 15 years ago ... I suppose that would be what I would use the fax for now actually, conferences or applying for money for Erasmus projects.

Our office fax machine burned due to excess electricity flow more than a year ago. We don't use it any more. Now a days fax is not necessary too.

They are hardly used here at all now mainly in the Post Office if you want but nothing more than that really.

I do not remember, the fax became obsolete when they abandoned the analog, the fax only worked on analog line. This happened in November 2018.

@DocAndersen They send faxes through the Internet, no more using a phone line here.

Some of the newer faxes can leverage a digital line. But, I do understand that. I would bet there are banks where you are that still have them!

@LadyDuck That is a growing trend here as well. I am probably going to get rid of the printer in the next two years, I will then be fax free

We don’t have a fax machine at home and I’ve only used during my internship. It’s been 10-11 years since I used one.
