  5. Once you submit your application, your account will be created and you will then be taken to the welcome page where you will obtain your account information including a phone number to use when receiving faxes.

  6. Initially, your credit card will be charged an opening balance of $10.00. Their rates are as follows:
    $1.00 per month maintenance fee.
    All incoming faxes are delivered to your e-mail address for free.
    Outgoing faxes are transmitted at the rate (For U.S.) of $0.11 per minute. There is a one minute minimum and then transmission is billed in 6 second increments.
  7. To send a .pdf file as a fax, You use your e-mail program (set to plain text) and address it in this format:
    TO: "faxnumber"@fax2.faxaway.com
    Subject: FAXDOC
    Body: (Use your email program to insert or attach the file you want to send)
