PamFax is a Skype Extra that lets you quickly and easily scan and fax a hard copy document or fax a PC-based document to any fax number worldwide.

Not only helpful for the home or small business office but also ideal for road warriors who need to fax documents while traveling from their hotel, an airport lounge or at a coffee shop with Internet access. In fact, it can be used as a road warrior’s printer by “printing” a document to your local hotel’s fax number.

PamFax has three modes of sourcing a document for faxing:

scan a hard copy document from almost any scanner;
select a stored document on your PC or
print a document from within a Windows application with PamFax being the Windows printer.

Costs start at €0.17 (~$0.25) per page and vary by destination country.
