Mainly because Internet users have become so web savvy, when they see a free offer promoting any product or service, they immediately become skeptical and a warning bell goes off. A free fax trial is generally placed in this skeptic s corner until one takes a closer look at the offer. Most web users are pleasantly surprised to discover what s actually being offered and the benefits of using free fax trials to find the best fax service provider to meet your needs.
Actually, it is a common practice for very reputable companies to offer a free trial period to test out their services to see if they re suitable for you or your company. Cable companies use this marketing technique to great effect, so do many phone companies; some even give out free cell phones if you sign up to their services. However, many people think of this as a ploy to get you to sign up; but in most cases this actually works out to be a beneficial arrangement for both parties.
The same goes for a free fax trial, a potential customer is given a local or toll free fax number so that they can test out or test run the chosen fax service for a month without having to pay. This is a great way to check out an online provider before you actually buy or sign up. Of course, once you have your fax number and see the high quality of the service... most of these companies are betting that you will keep using their service for a longer term.While this is indeed a marketing ploy, it is not necessarily a bad idea since you do get to check out the quality of the service. 
You can discover what the customer service is actually like, such as is it available 24/7 and are your questions answered in a timely manner? If you have any problems are they dealt with immediately or do you have trouble reaching support? What is the overall quality of the faxing service?Online fax is simply using your email system (faxes are sent as attachments, usually TIFF or PDF) and your Internet connection to send and receive all your faxes. It is becoming a very popular form of cloud computing   where your computer services are outsourced to a third party. There is no need for an extra fax phone line and no need for a traditional fax machine.
