FAX - Where to Send or Receive a Fax or Telegram to•from around the world to you in Costa Rica

FAXES and TELEGRAMS

Does anyone really use Faxes anymore?  Well, sometimes a need arises and it's not so easy to find one in Costa Rica. What can one do that's living in Costa Rica??

Did you know you can send and receive a FAX at the Post Office•Correo (including sending•receiving faxes international as well)?  I have a feeling they're going to be LOTS cheaper than going to any of the other options below!

PRICES:
Fax Nacional sin Distribucion (incluye apartados)
Send a fax within Costa Rica (no distribution needed)(includes sections??)
200-c. 

Fax Nacional con Distribucion Domiciliaria
Send a fax within Costa Rica & I THINK it means it could be delivered to your home??)
350-c

Acuse de Recibo (adicional) Proceso de Registro y Control • Acknowledgement (additional) Registration Process and Control
(with signature)
460-c


International
U.S., Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico & Virgin Islands
1st Page  =  1,440-c
Additional Pages - 680-c
(see above for other countries)

NOTA:  En el caso del servicio de Fax Nacional, la empresa padria establecer tarifas preferenciales para grandes clientes mediante previa autorizacion de la Gerencia General
NOTE: For National Fax service, the company Padria establish preferential rates for large customers by prior authorization of the General Management


Get the number of the Fax machine at your local Correo•Post Office at:

Correos.go.cr/empresarial/cobertura/index.html

(I'd STILL double check that it's working before doing it/going over since it IS Costa Rica)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Also - receive or send a 
TELEGRAMS!

Just make sure they post your name and your phone number(S) (I'd give both landline and cell number - unless you check your voicemail) and I'd have the person sending an incoming fax•telegram call or email me to let me know it was done - otherwise it MIGHT sit around the post office for DAYS (and/or get lost!!  Better to be safe than sorry).

OTHER OPTIONS:

OFFICE DEPOTS in Costa Rica
OfficeDepot.co.cr

MAYBE your local Office Supply•Stationary Store•Libreria • Copy Shop•FotoCopiadoras?

MAYBE a friends professional office?  A neighbor?
Post on some of the ExPat boards where you're located and what you have.

HELPING EACH OTHER!
Do you get free calls to the U.S./Canada via Skype, Vonage or something similar & have a fax machine?
Let your friends/neighbors know since that will cost NOTHING (though I'd offer some money or lunch or something to thank them - especially if it's lots of pages &/or international &/or they're doing it for you)
(I used to do this often for people where I've lived)

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS:
Does your item HAVE to be faxed?  Other ways that might work:

•   Take a picture of the item with your camera or cell phone and email the jpg of it

•   Is it something on the internet?  You can make a

SCREEN SAVE of it

(I only know how to do it on a Mac.  Can anyone share the PC way of doing it??.  Note if what you want does not all show up on your screen - go into your "View" & "Zoom" & then "Zoom Out" to make the document smaller till all you need shows up [at least this is how it is on a Mac)
MAC - ScreenSave will copy ALL that is showing on your screen.  Hold down at the same time:

"Command" - "Shift" & "3"

To copy JUST a specific section of what's showing up on your screen (NOTE - if you're trying to ScreenSave a hole :
MAC -

First bring your cursor to the top left section you want to save. 
Then hold down at the same time:
"Command" - "Shift" & "4".
Then a bulls-eye icon will show up where your cursor is and make a box around the area you want to Screen Save!
DONE!!  It's now a png photo image!!

Where it goes depends on where you have it saved so you might need to do a "Find" to find ScreenSave

•  Send it via some sort of internet fax service like

eFax - eFax.com

You send the document via email and it goes to your designated fax machine.  Unfortunately it starts at $16.95/month but you get up to send and receive 150 FREE pages each
