Do you need a landline or phone line to fax?

arrow navbar

No. Fax.Plus sends and receives faxes entirely over the internet, so no landline or phone line is required, whether you're faxing from home, the office, or on the go. All you need is an internet-capable device: a computer, smartphone, or a printer with a scan-to-email feature.

Can you fax without a landline using only Wi-Fi and a computer?

arrow navbar

Yes. You can fax from a computer without phone line access if you have a stable Wi-Fi connection. Simply sign up for Fax.Plus, upload your document, and send it over the web.

How do you send a fax without a landline or phone line?

arrow navbar

There are three ways: from your email inbox by addressing it to the recipient's fax number @fax.plus, from the Fax.Plus web app on your computer, or from the Fax.Plus mobile app on your phone. All three skip the phone line and fax machine entirely.

How do I set up a fax machine without a phone line?

arrow navbar

You don't need a physical fax machine at all: sign up for a Fax.Plus account, and you get a fax number instantly. If you already own an all-in-one printer, you can also fax from it directly using its scan-to-email feature and your Fax.Plus username, no landline required either way.

Can I get a fax number without a landline?

arrow navbar

Yes. A Fax.Plus account comes with a dedicated fax number, local, toll-free, or international, the moment you sign up, with no landline or phone company involved. You can also port an existing fax number over instead of getting a new one.

Where can I go to fax something?

arrow navbar

You can fax from physical locations like FedEx, post offices, or libraries, but they often charge high per-page rates and keep limited hours. With Fax.Plus, there's nowhere to go: send and receive faxes securely from home, the office, or on the go, from your phone or computer.
