Free fax online: what is really free
Free fax services usually come with limits, so it pays to check them before you rely on one for something important. Here is what to look for, and what is honestly free here.
What to check on any free fax service
- How many pages you can send, and whether a cover page counts toward the limit.
- Whether the service adds its own advert or watermark to your pages.
- Whether your document is kept, and for how long.
- Whether you will be asked for a card or an account before you see the price.
- Whether the fax is retried if the line is busy.
What is free here
Your first fax is free when you sign in with Google or an emailed code. After that a fax costs $1.99 for up to 25 pages to the US or Canada, and you are only charged if it is delivered. There are no adverts. The only thing added to your pages is a one-line header with your name, our sending number and the date, because US rules require one.
The fax cover sheet maker is free to use and needs no account. It runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.
Other ways to avoid paying
Ask whether the office accepts email or a secure upload. Many do, and it costs nothing.
Questions
Is the first fax really free?
Yes, for a new account. You sign in with Google or an emailed code. Each person gets one, and it is for faxes to the US or Canada.
What if the free fax is not delivered?
Nothing is lost. A fax that is not delivered does not use up your free fax.
What does a fax cost after that?
$1.99 each, or less in a pack. See pricing.
Send a fax from your phone. No printer, and no account needed.
