One of the key factors that come into play when planning to switch to an internet fax provider is the ability to keep your old fax number. Especially when it comes to business fax lines, the number has likely been published across websites, letterhead, signs, and business cards, making number portability one of the key features when comparing different plans.

Popfax has recently introduced their local number portability service across France, Spain and the United States and offer for no charge with a two-year commitment. This allows users to keep their existing fax number when switching to Popfax, thus not having to worry about changing any advertising materials or setting up costly call forwarding to a new number.

Many companies use Zendesk as their email ticketing and support platform, which helps staff keep track of support and sales emails and provides far more control over assigned tasks and the time it takes for the customer to get a response.

Harvest Invoicing, an online billing platform, has just announced an integration with Zendesk, allowing staff to track time spent on each support or sales ticket by starting a timer directly within Zendesk itself.
