Which countries can I fax to?

Updated on:

The short answer

CaptainFax faxes landline numbers in seven countries: Canada, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and France. The destination is the first field in the form.

Each country has its own page with numbering notes: see the destinations list. To look up a dial code for any other country, use the international dial-code directory.

The seven destinations

Faxing works to Canada, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and France. The number you reach must always be a landline wired to a fax machine or fax server.

The service is operated from France, so French VAT is included in the prices, whichever country you send to. The price does not depend on the destination.

Picking the destination

Start by selecting the country, then type the number either as locals dial it or in international form. The form adds the prefix, and the number checker can tell you if a number looks valid before you pay.

Each country page explains the local number format and where fax lines are still common.

Watch the clock

Many recipients only keep their fax machine on during business hours, or check it at set times. Europe is six to nine hours ahead of the US, so mid-afternoon in New York is evening in Paris. Canada itself spans several time zones. The world clock shows local time and business hours for each destination.

Outside the seven countries, the international dial-code directory lists dial codes so that you can still find the right prefix for a call, but a fax to those countries cannot be sent from here.

Worth remembering

  • Canada, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and France.
  • Landline fax numbers only.
  • Same prices for every destination.
