FaxZero lets you send a fax to any fax machine in the United States (including Puerto Rico) or Canada for free. You don't need a fax machine yourself, but you do need a valid e-mail address. You can send up to two free faxes per day, of up to 3 pages each. A $1.99 premium fax option lets you send a fax of up to 15 pages, without the two-per-day limit.
PrivatePhone is a service from NetZero Voice that assigns to you a free telephone number so you can give it out instead of your personal number. Calls to your PrivatePhone number will be answered by voicemail. Your voicemail messages can be retrieved either online or from a regular telephone. The service can't forward calls to another phone number.
Local phone numbers are available in your choice of area coes and cities.
