Send a fax abroad
Seven countries reachable over any connection, at the same rate for every destination.
Sending a fax abroad with Faxeroo takes three simple steps: select the destination country, enter the recipient's landline number as it is written locally, and attach your file — PDF, Word, image… — with the international dialing code added automatically. Covered destinations include Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and Canada, with no surcharge based on destination or your own location: the first page is free, and the flat rate of €3.99 incl. VAT applies from the second page 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, area code included; numbers starting 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 | Each number starts with 0, then carries between 6 and 11 digits (a 2- to 5-digit area code plus the subscriber number); 015, 016 and 017 are mobile prefixes | 03012345678 | Fax to Germany |
| Spain | +34 | Nine digits starting with 8 or 9, province included; a 6 or 7 at the start indicates a mobile number | 911234567 | Fax to Spain |
| Italy | +39 | Retain the leading 0, then enter between 5 and 10 digits; any number beginning with 3 is 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
A single file, 100 MB maximum: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, PDF, image or text, converted as needed. One page: free. From two pages, counted after conversion: €3.99 incl. VAT covers the entire document.
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; you pay nothing unless the fax is delivered).
One flat rate for all destinations
Reaching Montreal or Madrid costs the same. A single-page document costs nothing, with no limit on the number of sends. From the second page onwards, the send costs €3.99 in total — whether it's 2 or 40 pages — and a bank card is required before the confirmation link. Files can be up to 100 MB; for non-PDF formats, pages are counted after conversion.
When a file crosses a border, proof of sending is worth its weight in gold. 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 typed the way it is written 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, allow one to two minutes for the transmission to complete once the confirmation click is given and the short countdown has run. When the queue lengthens, at peak hours, a few extra minutes are added while a line frees up; the tracking page shows each stage as it happens.
- 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.
