I have incoming faxes to an 08 number service which emails me a PDF. There are several such providers - I think mine is inweb.net.uk. Using an 08 number doesn't cost real senders much (I prefer email anyway), but seems to deter junk spammers.
Isn't the scope for revenue generation being stopped on 0870 numbers shortly? I seem to remember that they will start being charged at the real national rate (ie what the provider charges for calls to 01/02 numbers) thereby removing the margin that allows them to provide revenue).
