Why send a fax from your mobile phone?

A traditional fax setup requires access to a machine, paper and a fax line. Sending from your smartphone removes those extra steps. With Faxer, you can handle the process digitally from the device already in your pocket.

No fax machine

Send documents without finding or maintaining physical fax equipment.

No printing required

If your document is already digital, add it directly from your phone.

Scan documents directly

Scan paper pages with your phone and fax them right away. No scanner needed.

iPhone and Android

Use Faxer from either major mobile platform.

Send while away from your desk

Prepare and send a fax from your phone when you are at home, traveling or working remotely.

Delivery status

Check the status of your transmission after sending.

How to fax from a mobile phone

Sending a fax from your phone takes four steps. Your recipient does not need to use Faxer: the document is sent to the fax number you entered.

  1. Upload your document

    Prepare or pick the file on your phone. You can add a cover page at this point if the recipient expects one.

  2. Enter the fax number

    Add the fax number you want to reach. Check it carefully before you continue.

  3. Review and send

    Review the document and the recipient details, then send it. No fax machine or phone line involved.

  4. Check the delivery status

    Follow the status of the fax from your phone, without calling the recipient to confirm.

How to send a fax online

Upload or scan documents from your phone

If the document you need to fax is already on your smartphone, you can add it directly to your fax instead of transferring it to a computer or printing it first. You can also scan a paper page right from your phone.

This makes it easier to send paperwork you receive or store digitally, whether you are at home, at work or away from your computer. Choose your document, add the recipient information and continue with the fax from your phone.

Need to send a paper document? Scan it directly with your phone, add the scan to Faxer and send it as a fax. No scanner or printer needed.
