Online fax FAQs
Is FaxBurner really free?
Yes. Sign up with your email, no credit card, and get a free fax number that lasts 24 hours. The free plan lets you send 5 pages total and receive 25 pages a month. Paid plans keep your number and raise the limits.
How long do I keep my free fax number?
24 hours. A paid plan makes your number permanent.
Do I need a fax machine or phone line?
No. FaxBurner works entirely online, through the app, your email or your browser.
Can I send and receive faxes from my phone or email?
Yes. Fax from your iPhone or iPad with the app, or from any phone or computer using email or the web.
What kinds of files can I fax?
PDF, JPEG and PNG files, plus photos and scans taken in the app. You can sign and combine files before you send.
How long does it take to send a fax?
Most faxes are sent within 30 seconds. However, sometimes delays due to carrier or technical challenges can extend this time.
What's the difference between a fax app and an online fax service?
A fax app runs on your phone. An online fax service sends and receives faxes over the internet from any device, through email or a browser. FaxBurner is both.
How do I get more pages or keep my number?
Choose a paid plan. Professional and Premier give you a permanent, toll-free fax number with 500 or 2,000 pages in and out per month.
What happens if I cancel my plan?
If you cancel or downgrade, your number may become temporary again and your monthly limits return to the free plan.
