Send a fax abroad
Seven countries reachable over any connection, at the same rate for every destination.
With Faxeroo, sending a fax abroad involves three straightforward steps: choose the country you're sending to, type the recipient's landline number exactly as it appears locally, and add your attachment — PDF, Word, an image… — while the international dialing code is filled in automatically. Destinations covered span Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and Canada; neither your location nor the destination affects the price: page one carries no charge, and a flat €3.99 incl. VAT is billed from page two onward.
Seven destinations, seven number formats
The form requests the number in the format used by the recipient's country. Below, each destination is listed together with the dialing code that gets added on automatically, the format we accept, and a sample valid number.
| Destination | Country code | National number | Example | Country guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| France | +33 | Ten digits in total, beginning with 01 through 05 or with 09; numbers beginning with 06 or 07 are mobiles | 0148817645 | Fax to France |
| Portugal | +351 | Nine digits starting with 2, including the area code; numbers beginning with 9 are mobiles | 213456789 | Fax to Portugal |
| Canada | +1 | Ten digits in total: three for the region, seven for the subscriber, without the leading 1 | 5145551234 | Fax to Canada |
| Germany | +49 | Following the initial 0, there are 6 to 11 additional digits: an area code of 2 to 5 digits, then the subscriber number. Mobile prefixes comprise 015, 016 and 017. | 03012345678 | Fax to Germany |
| Spain | +34 | An 8 or a 9 opens a landline, which runs to nine digits with the province code; a leading 6 or 7 marks a mobile | 911234567 | Fax to Spain |
| Italy | +39 | Keep the 0 in front and type the 5 to 10 digits after it; a number opening with 3 belongs to a mobile | 0612345678 | Fax to Italy |
| Belgium | +32 | Nine digits with a leading 0, spaces allowed; a mobile number in 04xx has ten | 024751234 | Fax to Belgium |
Four steps for your international send
Choose the document
Submit a single file — max 100 MB — in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, PDF, image, or plain text; conversion happens automatically where needed. Page one costs nothing. From the moment your file reaches two pages (counted after conversion), the entire document is billed at €3.99 incl. VAT.
Enter the destination
Select the fax machine's country, then enter its number in the national format, as if you were calling from that country.
Confirm from your inbox
Open the link you receive, then wait while the timer runs for roughly 55 seconds: cancellation is still possible up to the last second.
Track, then file away
The status moves forward live before your eyes. To keep a lasting record, choose the PDF receipts extra (€2.99 incl. VAT; a failed transmission is never billed).
One flat rate for all destinations
The rate is identical whether you fax to Montreal or Madrid. Your first page carries no charge, however often you use it. Starting with page two, the whole sending fee comes to €3.99 — whether that covers 2 pages or 40 — with card details required before the confirmation link is shown. Attachments may not be larger than 100 MB; non-PDF files are counted once converted.
When a file crosses a border, proof of sending is highly valuable. The PDF delivery receipt option costs €2.99: you first receive the request confirmation as a PDF, then the transmission confirmation, and payment is due solely upon successful delivery of the fax.
When the recipient is outside the zone
Beyond these seven countries, Faxeroo does not yet route faxes. Where you are based, however, doesn't matter: whether you live in Dubai or are travelling in Japan, you can reach a contact in Lisbon or Brussels from your mobile, provided you have a connection.
In all cases, the number dialled must be a landline connected to a device or a fax service: no mobile accepts faxes. If unsure about a dialling code, the international directory has the answer; the step-by-step numbering guide lists the pitfalls for each destination.
International fax: frequently asked questions
- Which countries can Faxeroo reach?
- Seven destinations are open: France, Belgium and Germany, then Spain, Italy, Portugal, and finally Canada. Only landlines are served there; the country is chosen in the form, then the number is entered as it appears locally.
- How do I type the number of a fax located outside France?
- 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.
- How long does a fax need to go out?
- In most cases, give it one to two minutes for the transmission to finish once you have clicked confirmation and the brief countdown has elapsed. At busy times the queue grows, and waiting for a free line can add a few minutes; you can follow the progress in real time on the tracking page.
- A fax has just failed: where should I look for the cause?
- Most often in the number itself: a typing error, a reassigned line, or a correspondent who answers with a voice. Then come the machine that is off, jammed or short of paper, then lines passed through internet boxes, which damage the signal. Check the number, wait a little, try again.
