I use efax -- can receive unlimited faxes for free. sm

Posted By: LTMT on 2007-02-21
In Reply to: Question for those who use internet fax service (sm) - LLHS38

I have a fax machine, but rarely send faxes, so it works out well for me.  I do not have to tie up my phone line waiting for a fax -- it just comes to me via email.

The faxes are all computer based. Efax is free to receive faxes to.
.
So are their any free fax programs/websites beside efax?
I don't want to miss another paystub
not sure about cell phone, but you can sign up for free efax messenger. sm
you can get a free efax messenger as long as you don't care what number they assign you. then you can have them fax to that number and it will come into your email inbox and you can print from there.
Junk faxes?? Do you know how much money you can collect from junk faxes??? It's sm
illegal and every offense is worth 100.00. I don't eveistory think you have to go to court. I'd look into it! I heard of a guy who made thousands off receiving junk faxes. I don't have a fax machine anymore..
squished faxes
Hope this helps you - I have a brother fax machine and I hit the minus sign on my fax on the copy zoom button, so then when the person told me the fax came out squished, I hit the plus button and voila the pages went back to their normal function.  Hope this helps you out.  see if your machine has a copy zoom button and if it does hit the plus button on it. 
Squished faxes...my problem or theirs??

I have one client I am faxing to that just recently started having problems with the faxes coming out "squished" at her end.  Mostly from two-page documents, but one was also just one page.


Is this a problem I cause and therefore can fix somehow and if so....HOW...


or is this something at their end and how do I tell them how to fix it. 


Sending and resending or then emailing is getting old....


thank you for any wise people out there that have a clue, cuz I sure do not

Their unlimited plans aren't really unlimited, which is

the problem.  Their limit is 5000 minutes and if you work full-time you'll need approximately 10,000 minutes. 


There have been several people who have received enormous bills from AT&T because they deemed their use as inappropriate. 


EFAX
How do I get hooked up with that. Do you have a website or phone #?
efax search

I did a Google search for efaxes, and several links came up.  You could also cherck if ebay has anything on it.


Good luck!


I use efax also, but I use the paid service - sm
I started out with the free number, however it only allowed 20 faxes incoming a month, after that they required you to get a paid number. I was doing okay with that for a while but they have their advertisers fax you and that can take you over your limit, though I only got a few of those, removed myself each time from their list. Then my client started faxing me almost every day, sending me over my limit. I switched to a number local to them so they would not have to pay LD to fax me, and then they are emailed to me. I really like it. I was using a program on my computer but as I use that line to dial out as well it did not work out well, so I went with the outside service. Don't forget you can write off the expense on your taxes.
Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.

who did you receive it from?

Can't you ask if you can receive more of them?

where/how did you receive this?
i receive spam emails, but nothing so closely related to what i do as a job...

i dont understand how our jobs can be sent to people that cannot form correct English sentences.

i will NEVER understand this business anymore, and that is why it is time for me to get out of it.

Experience doesn't matter anymore. if they can pay someone as cheap as possible to get the work done, they will do it. And the MT's that accept it hurt the rest of us that deserve more.

im so sick of it! those of you that make good money, count your blessings! A few years ago I was making 50K... now not even CLOSE with the technology and outsourcing...

who stays in a job where their salary has been cut almost 50%?
RE: You will not receive a 1099 if
you made less then $600, but the IRS will receive a copy of your earnings regardless. You have to claim all of your income no matter what the amount. Of course, if you made under $600, most likely the tax will be minimal if any.
I receive 2 different CMT incentives.
Two of the companies I work part-time for provide a CMT incentive. One of them pays an extra 1 cent per line and the other, I get 0.005 (half a cent) per line for a CMT incentive. These are on top of my production incentives and quality incentives (at one company).

It does mean extra money and I know what it means to me personally.

Nevermind the naysayers here. They are bitter about quite a long list of things in the MT world.


Hi. I emailed you. If you didn't receive it please
let me know on here so I can try again. THX
most impacting gift I could ever receive
My husband took my two children to the local mall where an artist scetched their portrait. He put their portrait in a beautiful frame and wrapped it for me to receive on Christmas.
I did not receive your email...could you please resend? nm

She did receive helpful information.
Information that she can use and information that she may not want to acknowledge but is still true.
It is rare, but not extinct to receive a

reply regarding how you fared on your test.  For those of you who are presently going through this situation, I would suggest going back and reading the email you sent requesting the information.  Often times online, the inflections in our words are misconstrued.  You may be wasting time imaging the worst.


Second solution; just forward a copy of your original email to them; it only takes 10 seconds.


How to receive daily digest?-please help

Many, many months ago I somehow figured out on this site how to receive a daily digest through email each day and I enjoy that.  Now I would like to tell a couple MTer's how to receive this Daily Digest as well, but am not able to find the directions on this site again.  If anyone could tell me how to sign up for the Daily Digest, would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks. 


I receive dss files with new version of ES

I just downloaded the newest version of ES, 4.17, a couple of days ago and I receive dss files fine.  There was a couple of glitches in the "settings" which I had to change, but now plays fine.


Another possibility:   I know when I first downloaded the free ES on my second computer, I could not listen to the files, but it was because I had a different foot pedal on that computer and so I had to go in and make some changes concerning the foot pedal settings in ES. 


Are you able to play the files using just the hot keys? If you would like to compare the "settings" which I have on my computer for ES to yours, let me know and I can do that either by email or phone. 


How do you receive your dictation from clients
I had used transcriptiongears call in system at one time, but it was too expensive for me.  I want to try to pick up another client, but wondered what is the most cost effective method to receive their dictations.  Any advice?
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.

Do you receive a statement along with the card? nm

You claim it in 2009. If you did not receive
it in 2008, it does not matter it was owed, only what you received in the calendar year.

We did not receive your email with your glossary attachment
Hi Kim,

According to our records, Marianne sent you a file to resolve the issue. I still did not receive your email with the glossary attachment and I am not sure why it did not come through to my email but Marianne was able to receive it and she replied with the file attachment. Did you still have trouble after receiving Marianne's email? If so, please let us know and we will give you a call so we don't have to worry about having any more lost emails. :-)
welcome, you dont' pay to send out or receive until you go over a certain limit. sm
i use several different email addies with them so that when i run out of room, i change to a different acct to send work/receive work.
Most financial advisors say when you receive a windfall...

After paying any necessary debts, etc., put the remainder in a CD or money market account and let it accumulate interest for a while so you can consider your options. You don't want to jump into (or out of) anything on the spur of the moment.


I guess the question is, is this a job you want to keep? If so, I think the advice the MTSO below gave is great - talk to your supervisor or lead, explain the situation, and ask if you can take some time off and still have a job waiting for you when you get back.


If it's not a job that you want to keep, then don't worry about it. Quit, spend some time with your daughter, then look for another job. You will certainly have enough money to tide you over!


P.S. For financial advice, check out one of Dave Ramsey's Endorsed Local Providers in your area. (link below) Look at the top right corner of the page under Trusted Services.

Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!


additionally, ask, as well as receive, written documentation.

Cannot send/receive mail in Outlook Express

I am able to connect fine to my dial-up ISP. I have not been able to receive/send any E-mail from Outlook Express today at all. I can receive the mail from that account through my Yahoo web site and am able to go to what is callled Mailstorm, through my ISP, where junk mail is filtered and so everything works fine that way. Any ideas on what the problem could be?


I have contacted my ISP via E-mail but have not received a response yet so that makes me wonder if there is not an issue on their end.


Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.


Looking foreward to input that you receive. Last year bought a
MatMassager by Homedics, 5-motor Full Body Massager with heat for hubby & myself - just on a fluke. I was desperate and out of ideas for something different, it was on sale, thinking it wouldn't really meet the claims that were advertised on the box.

Well, my fluke purchase far exceeded my expectations. It ended up the "favorite" choice of gifts. Hubby & I love it - as did children & grandchildren. Amazed everyone as to how fantastic it felt - with those trying it not willing to get up in order for someone else to try it out.

As far as just a back massager cushion - I really can't offer an opinion - though am also looking into this for myself while working. If I find out anything,I'll post my feedback for you.

Personally, after trying the MatMassager,with major trepidation, yet with such positive input, I wouldn't be afraid to try anything made by Homedics/Shiatzu. As with anything - read all guarantees, warranties., etc. As happy as I am with what I purchased through such, I imagine there are those with just the opposite experience. Just giving you feed-back on "my" experience to date!!

URGENT REQUEST: An MT that we sent a box of gifts to did not receive the package.

It was delivered to their porch according to UPS but she did not get it.  It contained gifts for her children.  Because we did not put insurance on the package, UPS will do nothing to assist.  The box alone to ship had cost $45.00 and insurance would have cost another $25.00.  It is a sad story, but what it boils down to is that the kids won't have a Christmas.  All monies in the Santa's House for Christmas Angels fund have been dispersed through the Christmas Angel program.


So, I am here to ask for help.  I would like to raise $150 to $200 today if at all possible and for anyone who donates $10.00 or more to this special cause, I will give a software package that contains a word Expander and spellchecker that is worth over $100.00 for your trouble.  Donations can be made to sales@mtstars.com via Paypal.


Again, thank you for your consideration.


 


MT week, did anyone receive recognition from your place of employment?
AND, have you ever done anything for others that are MTs?  If you work for a national, ever send them a basket of cookies or anything for MT week?  Do you really thing curiosity killed the cat?
You did not receive spam via this website. Your email address is not available

and is protected from bots that glean email addresses from websites.  As far as that email is concerned, it has been cycling around for years and anyone could receive it.


In this business in order to remain qualified to receive
those benefits, you must maintain the required line count/pay earned per pay period. Otherwise, you shall find you're working for nothing extra.

It also doesn't matter if your place of employ runs out of work, which in turn hinders you from qualifying for those benefits, you lose them regardless.

Ahh, the joys of the Medical Transcription field.

Best of luck with your new practice.

And should you not receive your final paycheck in a reasonable amount of time,

notify them that you will be filing complaints with the Department of Labor, the BBB, the FTC, the state attorney general's office, and small claims court.


As an IC you invoice the company, count your own lines, and receive a paycheck.

Phone Tools is a Bvrp software program that allows you to not only fax and receive data/documents v
your pc (including coversheet and confirmation of date/time received), but can also act as an answering machine.  It's a very good product.  The receipient/s just need to make sure that their fax machine is turned on and has a paper supply loaded (thereby saving you the expense of purchasing reams for this purpose).  If you expect to receive faxes, you also need to be sure that the program is running and set the control to fax modem, rather than answering machine.
I use MCI unlimited
Had checked into vonage but if your cable goes out no phone and u would have to rely on cell phone don't want to do that in my rural area.
I currently use SBC for unlimited LD ... sm

When I signed up, they told me that I couldn't use it for telemarketing, faxing, or connecting to the internet.  Fine ... then 6 months later they tell me I have broken the rules. 


However, there is a happy ending.  I just switched to a business line with them.  They have an unlimited plan for business which is $49.95/month (at least here in Kansas), plus tax and of the extra charges that get tacked on.  I specifically told them that I used it to call in to Maryland to access a dictation system and transcribe, and after talking with a manager, he assured me it was okay.  He did say that it will still probably get flagged as "high usage," but they would put a note on my account.


Hope this helps.  I have also used MCI's The Neighborhood, and they never gave me any flack about what it was used for -- I was assured that "unlimited meant unlimited." 


 


Good luck!
