What do I need to set up a fax machine at home? Do I need to pay a monthly fee to the phone company for a fax number?

In our country U need a phone land line

Several years ago, I went electronic. My work orders are closed out via email, so I have a scanner to send and I can receive faxes via email. If I need to send a "fax" I can do that with the send app. My particular service is by http://www.maxemail.com I use the "lite" product that gives me a number in suburban Chicago (815) and costs about $24 a year. It also handles my voice mail.
