Your Own Fax Number for $4.99/Month
eFax charges $18.99/month for a fax number. Ours is $4.99 with 50 pages included.
Replies need your own number
Without your own fax number, your faxes go out from a shared number and a faxed reply can’t reach you. The IRS, for one, faxes a new EIN to the fax number written on Form SS-4 (IRS instructions).
Two ways to get a number
The one-time number is $14.99 once and ends on its own after 90 days. Starter is $4.99 a month and renews until you cancel.
One-Time Fax Number
Your own number for 90 days, long enough to send a filing and catch the reply even when it arrives weeks later. Then it ends, with nothing to cancel.

Common questions
How much does a dedicated fax number cost?
FaxTerra Starter is $4.99/month with 50 pages included, plus the 10 free ones. That is 74% below eFax ($18.99/month) and 29% below Fax.Plus Basic ($6.99/month). Fax.Plus Basic includes 200 pages, a better rate if you use them all. Over a year Starter is $49.99 against Fax.Plus Basic's $83.99.
Can I get a fax number without a monthly plan?
Yes. A one-time fax number is $14.99 paid once and gives you your own number for 90 days, with 50 pages included. It receives faxes into your inbox the same way a plan's number does, then ends on its own with nothing to cancel. If you need a number for longer than that, the monthly plan costs less over time.
Can I keep my fax number if I cancel?
Your FaxTerra number is yours as long as your subscription is active. If you cancel, you keep the number until the end of your paid period; when the subscription ends, a FaxTerra-assigned number is released. You can move any number to another provider while your plan is active, and we never charge a fee to port it out. A number you ported in is also held after the plan ends, so you can still move it. Cancel online from your Plans page, with no cancellation fee and no phone call.
Can I bring my existing number?
Usually. Port your existing US or Canada fax number in, free with any paid plan, and keep the number that's already printed on your forms and directory listings. Whether a number can move is up to the provider holding it, so check yours free before you subscribe. Because your current provider drives the transfer, expect from about a business day to a few weeks; your existing service keeps working until it completes.
Do I need a dedicated number to send faxes?
No. If you only need to send faxes (not receive them), FaxTerra's free tier and credit packs work without a dedicated number. A dedicated number is only necessary if you want to receive incoming faxes, including a reply from someone you faxed.
What if someone faxes a reply to a fax I sent?
With a dedicated number, your outgoing faxes show your number as the sender. If the recipient faxes back, it arrives in your inbox automatically. Without a dedicated number, faxes are sent from a shared number and replies can't be delivered to you.
How will I know when a fax arrives?
You get an email notification immediately when a fax arrives at your number. You can also view incoming faxes in your inbox on the web — works on your phone, tablet, or computer.
