What is an International Fax Number?

An international fax number is a dedicated fax line that includes international country codes and area codes, enabling you to send and receive faxes from virtually anywhere in the world.

Understanding Fax Numbers

Fax numbers closely resemble telephone numbers but specifically connect fax machines or digital fax solutions. When dialing a fax number, instead of a voice greeting, you'll hear a series of electronic tones, this is the digital handshake of fax machines communicating with each other.

Fax Number vs. Phone Number

While they look similar, fax numbers differ from phone numbers in their primary purpose. Phone numbers are intended for voice calls, whereas fax numbers route directly to fax machines or fax services like Fax.Plus. Both use telephone networks, but fax numbers anticipate digital signals rather than voice communications.

Fax Number Formats Explained

Fax numbers vary based on geographical location and dialing conventions. Here's a concise breakdown:

Local Fax Numbers: Include an area code and number, like 2121234567.
Long-Distance Fax Numbers: Prefixed with a "1" in North America (e.g., 12121234567).
International Fax Numbers: Start with an international access code, country code, and local number without separators (e.g., 011441234567890).
