How do I type the number of a fax located outside France?

Summary

Choose the correspondent's country in the menu, then write their number as it reads locally, without the + or 00 prefix and without the dialling code: Faxeroo dials the international part itself. Seven destinations are open: Belgium, Canada and Germany, but also France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

Two fields, two distinct roles

The country menu displays the international prefix (+32 for Belgium, +1 for Canada, +351 for Portugal, and so on). The number box expects the local version, the kind of digits a business card in that nation would show. A number entered as +32 or 0032 needs its prefix removed.

The separators — spaces, dots, dashes — are ignored on reading. The international send factsheet sets out the expected formats country by country.

The leading zero, a recurring trap

Belgium and Germany both use a national format beginning with zero — don't drop that digit. In Italy, a landline's leading zero cannot be left out: that digit belongs to the number itself. Canada requires ten digits: enter the local number after the area code, leaving out the initial 1.

With the country selected, the form immediately displays a valid example and spots a number that is too long, too short or badly begun, before any send.

Checking the source of the number

Grab the number from a recent paperwork of the contact: an order, a letter, an email signature. A reception desk almost always hides a basic voice line rather than a fax line. The dialling code directory helps verify a city prefix.

Key points

  • The chosen country brings the international dialling code.
  • Enter the number in national notation, with no + or 00 prefix.
  • An input model is displayed, and the format check precedes the send.
  • Seven destinations, from Belgium to Canada.
