Send faxes. Get replies.
Your subscription isn’t just for receiving — it’s two-way faxing. When you send a fax, it goes out from your own number. If the other party faxes back, the reply lands in your inbox.
Replies come back to you
Your faxes show your number as the caller ID. When a doctor, government office, or business hits reply on their fax machine, it arrives in your inbox.
Your number, your identity
Without a dedicated number, faxes are sent from a shared number and replies can't reach you. With your own number, you control both sides of the conversation.
Instant notifications
Get an email the moment a fax arrives. No checking, no waiting — it's in your inbox as a PDF within seconds.
50 pages included
Your plan includes 50 pages per month for both sending and receiving. Need more? Add a credit pack anytime.
When you need a fax number
Most people get a fax number because someone on the other end requires it. Here are the most common scenarios.
IRS & tax documents
The IRS often requires a fax number to send you transcripts, return confirmations, or correspondence. Give them your FaxTerra number and the document arrives in your email.
Doctor's offices & medical records
Healthcare providers send records, referrals, and authorizations by fax. Get a dedicated number so your doctor's office can fax directly to you.
Insurance claims & authorizations
Insurance companies frequently fax claim responses, pre-authorizations, and benefit documents. A fax number means you receive them instantly.
Legal & court filings
Courts, attorneys, and government offices still rely on fax for filings and case documents. Your fax number ensures you don't miss anything.
Real estate closings
Title companies, lenders, and agents send contracts and disclosures by fax. Get a number for the transaction and cancel when the deal closes.
Common Questions
How quickly can I get a fax number?
About 2 minutes. Create an account, subscribe, choose an area code, and your number is ready. Most numbers activate instantly — you can give it out right away.
How do I receive a fax?
When someone sends a fax to your number, you get an email notification with the fax attached as a PDF. You can also view all incoming faxes in your online inbox from any device.
Can I receive faxes from the IRS, a doctor, or a court?
Yes. Your FaxTerra number is a real US fax number. It works with any fax machine or fax service — government agencies, medical offices, insurance companies, courts, and businesses can all send to it.
What if I also need to send faxes?
Your subscription includes both sending and receiving. When you send a fax, it goes out from your own number — so the recipient sees your caller ID and can fax you back. 50 pages per month are included for both directions.
Do I need a fax machine?
No. FaxTerra replaces the fax machine entirely. Incoming faxes arrive as PDFs in your email. To send, upload a document from your phone, tablet, or computer.
What happens to faxes I receive?
Incoming faxes are stored securely in your inbox and delivered to your email as PDFs. You can view, download, and forward them from any device. Faxes are retained for 90 days by default.
Can I receive faxes if I don't have a subscription?
No — receiving requires a dedicated fax number, which comes with a subscription. But you can send faxes for free (10 pages/month) without subscribing. If you only need to send, you don't need a number.
