With Fax.Plus, you can send a fax from Yahoo Mail using your phone, tablet, or computer. Use a paid Fax.Plus plan and the Yahoo address registered to your account. No fax machine, printer or Yahoo fax add-on is required.


To receive a fax in Yahoo Mail, you need a Fax.Plus number and email notifications enabled. Received-fax notifications report an incoming fax; sent-fax status emails report the result of a fax you sent.
Your sender faxes your Fax.Plus number, not your Yahoo email address. In Settings → Faxing → Notifications, select Edit, then Modify next to Email. Choose On (notify and attach fax to message) to receive the fax document in Yahoo Mail.
Incoming fax attachments can be PDF or TIFF. Advanced Security Controls restrict fax attachments in email notifications. Use your Fax.Plus inbox when attachments are unavailable. Fax storage is controlled separately. If Store Faxes in Fax.Plus is set to Inactive, faxes received during that period cannot be recovered from Fax.Plus after storage is reactivated.
You can forward received-fax notifications to up to five email addresses. Business and Enterprise accounts can also assign a fax number to multiple team members. Forwarding an email and sharing access to the Fax.Plus inbox are separate settings.
Send documents from email and manage your fax settings in one account.
Fax.Plus le permite enviar faxes directamente desde Yahoo. Simplemente escriba un nuevo correo electrónico, adjunte sus documentos y envíe su fax en segundos.
Yes, you can fax from Yahoo email using a paid Fax.Plus plan. Yahoo Mail does not transmit faxes on its own. Fax.Plus converts the documents you attach to an email into a fax for the recipient. Use the Yahoo address registered to your Fax.Plus account.
Send from your registered Yahoo address after enabling Email to Fax on a paid Fax.Plus plan. Use the international fax-number format shown above and wait for delivery status. Your email subject is saved as a note in Sent Faxes; it is not automatically printed as cover-page text.
No. Sending through Yahoo email requires a paid Fax.Plus plan. The Free plan does not include Email to Fax. Its one-time free sending allowance applies to the Fax.Plus web or mobile app after mobile verification. If you only need one fax, check the subscription terms before choosing email sending.
You can attach PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PNG, JPG, RTF and TIFF files. Yahoo limits the total message size to 25 MB, including attachments. Keep your message within that limit. A document that is too large for Yahoo email may need to be reduced or sent through another supported Fax.Plus method.
Check your recipient number and attachments before sending sensitive information. Ordinary Yahoo email is not an end-to-end encrypted fax workflow. Follow your organization’s requirements for confidential documents, and use its approved sending method when standard email is unsuitable.
HIPAA-compliant faxing requires the Fax.Plus Enterprise plan, a signed Business Associate Agreement and Advanced Security Controls. Ordinary Yahoo email sent to @fax.plus is not automatically compliant. The configured compliant service uses @tls.fax.plus and enforced TLS transport. Confirm that your email environment meets these requirements before sending protected health information.
It can appear when Include Email Content in Fax is enabled, because the email body becomes the first fax page. Remove any signature or disclaimer you do not want to send. To fax only the attachments, disable Include Email Content in Fax in your Email to Fax settings.
Check that you sent from your registered Yahoo address, enabled Email to Fax and have sufficient credits. Verify the full international recipient number and @fax.plus address, then check the attachments and Yahoo message size. Read the delivery-status email for the reported result. A busy or unavailable receiving fax machine can also prevent delivery.
Prepare your documents, switch to another sending method, or fax from the apps where you work.
Use your registered Yahoo address and a paid Fax.Plus plan to send documents from your inbox. Check the delivery-status email after sending.
