Using a fax on printer without land line

[Deskey]

I got a question for you guys. I just recently purchased an all-in-one printer. I need to use the fax portion of it a lot. I currently don't have a home phone line and I don't want to get one installed (I just want to keep my cell phone). I heard that their is a way you can still fax out without a land line and through a cell phone instead. Is there a PCMCIA card that a cell phone can be attached to to dial out a fax? Is there a special cable that anyone knows of and where I can buy one that goes from the cell phone to the PCMCIA card? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just would hate to have to call Bell South or Sprint to come to my house to install a land line when I can do in another way.

There are cell phones that have an adapter that lets a normal rj11 connector plug in, however, that's model specific, and I personally find them annoying.

If you're looking for phone-les fax, why not use internet faxing? There are many services on the net now where you send them the document and they fax it. Some are free, some charge a modest fee, but most are cheaper than the minutes you'd pay on the cell phone. Some set up as a networked "printer" that you send jobs to, some upload the file via a web page, some have you email the file to an address where it's then auto-faxed... they all work pretty well. I've used a few, and they're generally almost as easy as a local fax. I don't want to mention any for fear of advertising, but google for "internet fax" or it's varients and see if any meet your needs!
