I use eFax but I will confess that I have a normal fax machine as well. Typically efax comes in handy when I have a document that is already in electronic format...then again in most cases I just email it. It s still good for incoming faxes. I use my traditional fax to...well...fax. It's a pain to have to scan something in and then use efax.

I use Google Voice as a business line that goes to my cell. I am however one of those annoying people who has incoming calls and since I have an iPhone the person on the other line can hear it beep in.

A landline phone isn't really something I would suggest, especially if they are paying for a decent cell phone service. Skype with incoming calls and good headseat is enough.You don't have to spend $20-60 a month, just $20 every three months for an incoming line. Bonus: If you got Google Voice, you will only need the incoming calls feature for Google Voice can dial numbers out for you.

For faxes, eFax (or any internet fax) is more than enough. It's extremely rare that clients have something to fax to me, so I never went beyond the free eFax. And if it's something requiring a signature, Echosign is what I work with.
