Send a Fax to Germany From Any Device
A German office that asks for a fax does not care where you are, only that the pages arrive. Send them to any +49 fax number from your phone or computer, with no machine and no phone line. Your first 5 pages to Germany each month are free.
10 pages free every month. No credit card.
Who still asks for a fax in Germany
Fax is still an everyday channel in Germany. Public offices, courts, doctors' practices, health insurers, and many small firms list a fax number beside their address and accept documents that way. If a German office has asked you for a fax, or you are chasing a form, an appointment, or a cancellation, a fax is often the route they answer.
What it costs to fax Germany
Your first 5 pages to Germany each month are free. Pages outside the US and Canada count as two, so the 10 free pages every account gets cover 5 pages abroad. Credit packs never expire: Lite is $1.99 for 5 international pages, Standard is $4.99 for 15 international pages, Plus is $9.99 for 50 international pages. A subscription's included pages send to Germany too, at the same two-for-one count. See what the plans include.
Entering a German fax number
Choose Germany in the send form, then type the number the way it is dialed inside Germany. A German number starts with an area code that begins with 0 when dialed inside Germany, followed by the subscriber number; mobile numbers begin with 01. Type the number as it appears on the letterhead, spaces and all. The form shows the number as it will be sent after +49 and drops a domestic leading 0 for you, so type it or leave it off. Do not add a 0 after the country code yourself; the form will not accept it.
How to fax Germany
Save the document as a PDF or take a photo of it. Sign in, upload it, enter the German fax number, check the preview of every page, and send. Add a cover page with your name and what the pages are for if the recipient handles many faxes. You get an email when the fax is delivered, and the delivery confirmation records the number, the time, and the page count.
Faxing from anywhere
Where you are does not matter, only the destination. You can fax Germany from inside Germany or from any other country, and the same account faxes 26 other countries. The full list is on send an international fax.
