The short answer
For €2.99, you get two PDFs by email: a receipt for the request and one for the transmission of the delivery. Both are optional, and you pay only if the fax is delivered.
If you need to prove, or simply remember, what was sent and when, they are worth having. The delivery proof page shows what they contain, and the price is on the rates page.
The two documents
The first is a receipt for your request: what you asked us to send, to which number and when. The second is a transmission receipt, drawn up when the fax has been delivered, with the outcome of the send.
Both come as PDFs by email, so they are easy to forward, print or archive with the file you sent.
When they are charged
Check the option while completing the form. The €2.99 is collected only once the fax is delivered. When a fax fails, there is no transmission to record, so the receipts cost you nothing.
The fax itself is priced separately, as shown on the rates page: free for one page and €3.99 for two or more.
Should you add them?
Add them for anything you may need to show later: an application deadline, a signed order, a notice to an administration or a supplier. Skip them for a casual page where you only need to know that it arrived, since the tracking page already tells you.
