Vista - Long Distance Phone Service Required for Sending Fax to Another St

This might sound like a really stupid question, but I wonder if long distance
telephone service is required in order to send faxes to another state?

I only have local phone service, not even local toll!

Also, do you have to have a fax # in order to receive fax?

If the above are silly questions, pardon my idiocy!

Regards

Yes, to use the fax, it just makes the phone call to a fax, so you would
need long distance service. But, there are alternatives such as efax.com
where you can scan a document and send it via their service. Vonage and
other VoIP services may be another alternative, but they are iffy in the fax
services.
