¿Cómo enviar un fax de prueba?
Asegúrese de que su destinatario pueda recibir faxes con un fax de prueba
Before you send anything important, confirm your fax setup actually works. Send a test fax with Fax.Plus and get an instant confirmation report by email, in the app, or on your dashboard, so you know for certain it arrived.

Create a test document to efax. This could be as simple as a single-page document with text like "Test fax sent on [date]." Include your contact details so you can verify the received document's accuracy.
Añadir número de fax
Vaya a la sección Enviar fax e introduzca el número de fax del destinatario en el campo Para (código de país + código de área + número de fax).
Adjuntar documentos de fax
Attach the document you want to fax. You can add an optional cover sheet and a short note for the recipient.
Enviar Fax
Send fax online and wait for the confirmation report. You will receive the report in your email, Fax.Plus mobile app and Web dashboard.
¿Qué es un número de fax de prueba?
A test fax number is used to verify that your fax machine or online fax service is functioning correctly. By sending a test fax to this number, you can:
Asegurarse de que la calidad de la transmisión sea clara.
Confirmar que el destinatario recibe el documento correctamente.
Solucionar problemas con su sistema de fax, como errores de conectividad o de formato.
Los números de fax de prueba son particularmente útiles al configurar una nueva máquina de fax, cambiar a un servicio de fax en línea o probar la funcionalidad de su sistema existente.
Your Free Fax.Plus Number Doubles as Your Test Fax Number
You don't need a separate test fax number. Every free Fax.Plus account comes with its own fax number, so you can send a real test fax the same way you'd send any other fax, and get back a genuine confirmation report. Sign up free, use the steps above to send yourself (or a colleague) a one-page test document, and check your email, the Fax.Plus app, or your dashboard for the delivery confirmation. If it arrives, your setup works.

Preguntas frecuentes
Why should I send a test fax?
A quick test confirms three things before you send something that matters: your system is actually working and can complete a real transmission, any connectivity or formatting issues surface while the stakes are low, and you avoid the delays or embarrassment of a fax failing in front of a client or partner. It takes one page and a couple of minutes.
How can I test my fax machine or fax line?
Testing a physical fax machine or phone line works the same way as testing online: send a one-page fax to a number you control (or a free service) and confirm it arrives clearly. If you're moving to online faxing, sign up for a free Fax.Plus account and send yourself a test fax instead. It's faster, and you get an emailed confirmation report instead of waiting by the machine.
What other ways can I test a fax number?
If you'd rather not use your own Fax.Plus number, you have two easy options: send the test fax to yourself from a second fax line or account if you have one, or ask a friend or colleague with a working fax machine to receive it and confirm the copy is clear. Either way, a successful delivery confirms your system works.
Can I send a test fax from my phone?
Yes. The Fax.Plus mobile app lets you send a test fax from your iPhone or Android device the same way you would from a computer: attach a one-page document, enter the recipient's fax number, and send. You'll get the same confirmation report by email and in the app.
Is there a limit to how many test faxes I can send?
Not really. Fax.Plus's free plan includes 10 one-time send-only pages with no credit card required, plenty for testing your setup. If you need to test more than a few times or want an ongoing fax number, any paid plan removes that limit with its own monthly page allowance.
How do I know if my test fax was received?
You don't have to guess. Fax.Plus sends a confirmation report as soon as delivery succeeds, by email, as a push notification in the mobile app, and as a status update in your Web dashboard. If you don't see one within a few minutes, the fax likely didn't go through and you should check the number and try again.
What if my test fax doesn't go through?
Double-check the recipient's fax number for the correct country and area code, confirm your document isn't password-protected or corrupted, and make sure your Fax.Plus plan has pages remaining. If everything looks right and it still fails, try resending: most failures are temporary line or network issues on the receiving end, not a problem with your account.
Keep Exploring Online Faxing
Once your test fax is confirmed, here's where to go next: pull a real fax number, send from any device, or get your documents fax-ready.
