The short answer
No. CaptainFax only sends: the service does not provide a fax number and does not receive faxes.
If you need to receive one, the page on receiving faxes lists the usual options, such as asking the sender for a PDF by e-mail or setting up a line elsewhere.
Sending only
CaptainFax is a sending service. You will not find a fax number to give out, an inbox of received faxes or a reply function. Nobody can fax a document to you through us.
That keeps the service simple: no account, no number, nothing to renew.
If someone insists on faxing you
First, ask whether they can e-mail a PDF instead. Many senders use fax by habit and will agree. Otherwise, you need a fax line of your own: a machine on a landline, or a provider offering a number that delivers faxes to your e-mail.
The receiving page describes these options and what to consider when choosing.
Replying to a fax
If you received a fax and want to reply, you can send one from our home page to the sender's number, provided it is a landline in a supported country. Check it with the number checker first.
A mobile number cannot receive a fax; the answer about mobile numbers covers that.
Worth remembering
- CaptainFax sends only; it gives no number and receives nothing.
- Ask senders for an e-mailed PDF where possible.
- Use a separate fax line if you must receive faxes.
