Answers.Text: RingCentral seems to work the same way as Faxaway. I'd like a fax solution that can keep my CiviCRM backend (database) apprised of successful and failed faxes. I'm just starting, and I'm no programmer. A Twilio FAX plugin for CiviCRM would be wonderful!
  
  We haven't been able to find any FAX solution for any CRM system.I'd like to know if anyone has.

  I'm guessing Twilio is one of the cheapest and you're already set up with them, but if you'd consider RingCentral at about 1.7c/page which is reasonable then you can still keep Twilio for other things and just use RingCentral's email-to-fax plan.
  
  So you'd add an email address on your contact records something like `1234567890@rcfax.com`, and then use it the same way you'd use any other email address, attaching the pdf or whatever.
