Summary
Yes: Safari, Chrome, any mobile browser will do, with nothing to install. Open the site, drop in a PDF, a photo or a file stored in the phone's memory or in your cloud space, then fill in the form as a computer would.
The browser handles everything
No app store, no update, no permission to grant: Faxeroo runs inside the web page. The display adapts to the width of the screen, and the file picker opens equally the phone's storage, iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive.
Digitising a paper sheet properly
No point settling for a photo. The iPhone's Files app, in the Browse tab then the "…" menu, can digitise a page: edges detected, perspective corrected, PDF produced. On Android, "Scan" is obtained via the "+" button in Google Drive, with an identical result. Prefer the black-and-white rendering — the printer on the other end will only produce monochrome in any case.
Lay the sheet flat on a dark background, near a window, the device parallel to the paper. Thirty seconds of care spares you a greyish fax on arrival.
The journey, at your fingertips
Select the country, type the correspondent's number, fill in identity, email address, subject and a word for the cover page, then attach the PDF. The confirmation email is not slow to arrive: activate its link within three minutes. A brief countdown follows, still cancellable, then the fax sets off and its status scrolls on screen.
Your phone sends faxes, but receives none
A smartphone serves to send, not to collect a fax. On the other end, a landline fitted with a fax machine or entrusted to a specialist provider is required: a mobile can never act as an arrival address, in any circumstance.
Key points
- No app: everything goes through the phone's browser.
- Digitising: Files app on iPhone, Google Drive on Android.
- Monochrome is the rule, sheet laid flat, clear light.
- Only a landline can receive, never a mobile.
