Best Buy® added MyFax to its list of productivity tools available through the Best Buy Software Installer, making the online fax service available on selected PCs and netbooks sold at U.S. Best Buy stores. New computers are typically pre-loaded with a bunch of unwanted software, causing a problem called “bloatware”. As the first major retailer to address the problem, Best Buy came up with Software Installer which gives consumers control over the content on their new or existing computers. Software Installer lets Best Buy customers select what they want on their PCs or netbooks from an online library of services that they can trial and purchase at their discretion such as MyFax.

RingCentral and Alibaba.com teamed up to provide a global communication service for Chinese businesses. The new venture gives Alibaba.com subscribers based in China a method to set up U.S. toll-free phone and fax numbers online.
Before today, Chinese suppliers had no easy way to have a local U.S. point of contact and enable their prospects and buyers to easily connect to supplier offices in China. With RingCentral, a buyer anywhere in the world can dial the U.S. phone or fax number listed on the business’ website and the call or fax will be routed to the company’s office in China. Businesses using this service can also set up custom routing and answering rules to manage time zone differences.
