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 brings the dialling code (+32 for Belgium, +1 for Canada, +351 for Portugal…). The number field wants the local form, the one a letterhead in the country concerned would print. A number pasted as +32 or 0032 must be stripped of that prefix.

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

On the Belgium and Germany side, the national form begins with a zero: keep it. In Italy, the zero of landlines is an integral part of the number. Canada, for its part, asks for ten digits: the regional code, followed by the local number, without 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

Take the number from a recent document of the correspondent's: purchase order, letter, email signature. A switchboard almost always hides a plain voice line, not a fax. The dialling code directory helps check a city prefix.

Key points

  • The chosen country brings the international dialling code.
  • Number written in national format, without + or 00.
  • An input model is displayed, and the format check precedes the send.
  • Seven destinations, from Belgium to Canada.
