How to use the UTBox internet fax service

You can sign up and start using internet fax immediately. The trial runs 30 days and starts you off with $2 of credit at no cost. No credit card is needed to activate it, and there are no hidden payments or obligations — you get your own fax number, in the state of your choice, straight away.

Send a fax in 3 steps

1. Write your email and attach the documents you want faxed. The email body is sent first and is treated as the cover sheet; attachments can be Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, HTML and various image formats.
2. In the address field, enter <fax number>@fax.utbox.net.
3. Hit send.

You get an email confirmation once the fax is delivered, and the sent fax sits in your sent items as an ordinary email for you to file as you see fit.

Receive a fax

1. Log in to UTBox and go to Fax Numbers → Active.
2. Choose a fax number from the list. Faxes received on it are sent to the receiver email address set against that number.
3. Select the settings icon and click Settings to change the receiver email.

To view faxes in the app instead, go to Internet Fax → Received. Received messages are listed there and can be downloaded as PDF or TIFF.

Privacy

We take privacy seriously. UTBox does not store documents once they have been delivered, inbound or outbound; our privacy and security page sets out what that means in practice.
