When sending a fax, there are crucial details to consider to ensure a smooth and successful transmission. In this article, we'll discuss the importance of correctly formatting phone numbers, including the country and area codes, and the compatibility of fax numbers versus regular cell phone numbers.
Correct number format
To initiate a successful fax transmission, it's vital to input the complete phone number in the correct format. This format includes the country code and area code. Here's how to correctly format the phone number:
Use the «+» symbol: Start with the plus symbol «+» to indicate the country code.
Include the Country Code: After the «+», include the appropriate country code for the destination. For example, the country code for the United States is +1.
Add the Area Code: Following the country code, enter the area code without any spaces or dashes.
Complete the number: Finally, enter the local phone number without any spaces or dashes.
Example: For the United States, a correctly formatted fax number would be +11234567890.

Fax number compatibility
It's crucial to understand that faxes can only be sent to fax numbers. Attempting to send a fax to a regular cell phone number or a landline that is not connected to a fax provider will result in a sending failure. This is because regular cell phones and landlines cannot receive faxes.
By following these guidelines, you can enhance the chances of a successful fax transmission. Ensure that you input the complete phone number, including the country code and area code, in the correct format. Additionally, be aware that faxes can only be sent to fax numbers, not regular cell phone numbers.
