Is there a truly free fax service?
Yes. FaxTerra's free tier gives every account 10 free pages each calendar month to US and Canada numbers, with no credit card and no trial that converts to a paid plan. The allowance resets on the 1st of every month. Most other "free" fax options are either a one-time allowance, a trial, or a service that prints an ad on your cover page.
How many pages can I fax for free?
10 pages each calendar month, resetting on the 1st. There is no per-fax cap inside that allowance, so a single 10-page document sends free. Need more in a busy month? Credit packs start at $1.99 for 10 pages, and credits never expire.
Can I send a fax to another country for free?
Free pages send to US and Canada numbers. To fax any other country, use credits or a plan: those reach all 27 supported countries, and credits never expire.
Do I need a credit card to send a free fax?
No. Free pages need only a free account, which is how your delivery confirmation and sent history reach you. There is nothing to cancel later because nothing was purchased.
Can you fax for free with Gmail?
Not directly. No email provider can deliver to a fax machine on its own, and FaxTerra does not accept faxes sent as emails either. If your document is sitting in Gmail, download the attachment, upload it at faxterra.com/send, and it goes out free within your monthly pages. See our fax to email guide for both directions.
Can I receive faxes for free?
Receiving needs a fax number of your own that answers around the clock, which is the part fax services charge for. FaxTerra includes a dedicated number with any paid plan from $4.99/month. Free accounts send from a shared number, so replies to that number cannot be routed back to you.
What is the catch with free fax services?
The usual catches are an ad printed on your cover page, a "free" tier that is really a one-time allowance, or a trial that bills your card after a week. FaxTerra's free tier has none of those: 10 clean pages a month, recurring, no card. The limits are that free pages reach US and Canada numbers only and that receiving requires a paid plan.

What people say about FaxTerra
Excellent · TrustScore 4.4This is by far the quickest, easiest way to send a fax anywhere. No hassle, easy signup with just your Google account, decent amount of pages per month, and you don't have to deal with advertisements or watermarks added to your documents. Highly recommended!
I checked several different fax apps and this was by far the best I found. Highly recommend.
We only needed one service, a .pdf file faxed to a number, but it performed that service without issue. We knew that this was an often-busy fax number we were sending to, but it informed us that the attempt timed out, and after we chose 'retry', it went through without problem. Quick, easy, responsive, we had no issues with it.
