Fax confirmation and proof of sending
When you fax something important, you want proof it got there. FastFax shows the live status of every fax and gives you a confirmation PDF when it's done.
Send a fax nowFastFax lets you send a fax online from your phone or computer for as little as 2¢ a page, with no subscription. US fax numbers only, up to 100 pages per fax.
Live status
After you tap Send you'll see the fax move through Queued, Sending and then Delivered or Failed. Delivered means the receiving fax machine answered and accepted all the pages.
What's in the Fax Transmission Confirmation PDF
- The fax number it was sent to, and the recipient's name if you added a cover page
- The date and time it was sent and delivered, in your time zone
- The status, the number of pages and the call length
- A reference number for the fax
- An image of every page that was sent, cover page included
You can download it from the status screen or later from the fax list in your wallet. Confirmations are kept for one year.
If a fax fails
Common reasons are a busy line, no answer, or a number that's a voice line rather than a fax line. Every page credit the fax used goes back to your wallet automatically, and you can try again. Double-check the number with the recipient if it keeps failing.
A note on legal proof
The confirmation is a record of what FastFax sent and when the receiving machine accepted it. It isn't a certified or notarized document. If a court or agency has its own rules for proof of filing, follow those.
