Q. I currently have a fax machine with its own fax number. If I move to online faxing, do I have to change my number?

A. Most Internet fax services allow you to keep your number. Some, such as RingCentral, let you choose a new number from a selection of available ones. Others, such as MyFax and MetroFax, assign you a number. However, you won’t be able to find out about your number specifically until you sign up: Some faxpanies won’t let you keep your number if you leave their service. So the rules of your original fax provider have a greater impact on whether you can keep your number than Internet fax services. Review your provider’s terms of service for more details.
