How do you send a fax if you don't have a fax machine.

My health benefits place wants me to fax them my financial information, which is ok - I do this every year

normally I give my papers to my landlord's office since they're both AB guv, but I'm told they aren't allowed to fax each other any more.

...now, I don't know their fax number, but I might be able to google it; and I don't have a scanner, but I might be able to just screengrab my bank information; but that still leaves the final piece of the puzzle:

How do I send this as a fax?

yes, but that's another negative anchor point (or wanker point, if you will) - while I can get my information on my PC, I can't get it on my phone

There are apps that let you scan documents using your camera and then fax it.

You bank might send a fax for you if you ask. I know they will often do notary stuff for free if you're a customer.

You can also try a place like Kinkos/FedEx Office. They'll charge you for it, but it's usually fairly cheap.

Ask them if you can email a photo of the document instead

this is what they told me on the phone to do, the person was even like 'why do we even still use faxes'

:/

But, because gmail was being a dick I couldn't send it as a pdf, I had to send my bank information as 4 .png

First, it's insane that they want a fax.

Second, there are businesses that offer a fax. afaik, it's something you can probably get done at a Staples or a library

I've used faxzero before and it worked great and free. It limits how often you can do it and might add a watermark that it was sent through faxzero but it works fine

I've done it from Staples. Annoying but it works.

There are online fax services if you have it as a digital document. Or go to a library and use their fax machine or scanner.

take pictures of your documents and sent it to them, telling them you don't have a fax machine because you're not 70 years old. screw them and their fax machine.
