No. Your personal number is never revealed. The fax goes out on a shared fax line, so that is the number the recipient sees.
How do I know my Android fax was delivered?
You receive an email confirmation with a delivery reference ID, usually within 1 to 3 minutes. Keep it as proof of sending. If it fails, you are refunded automatically and told the reason.
Can I fax the IRS from my Android phone?
Yes. Scan your documents with Google Drive, upload the PDF, and use the fax number printed on your own IRS notice. Save the confirmation email as timestamped proof you met the deadline.
Can I fax medical records from Android?
Yes. Scan to PDF, upload and send for $1.00. Documents are deleted from the servers immediately after sending. Note that FaxForADollar is not HIPAA compliant, so healthcare providers sending protected health information need a service offering a Business Associate Agreement, such as OneFaxNow or mFax Business.
Can I add a cover page from my Android phone?
Yes. FaxForADollar has a cover page generator on the site. Enter the recipient, your details and a short note, and it becomes page one of your fax.
Can I fax internationally from Android?
Not through FaxForADollar, which serves the US and Canada only. For other countries, our sister service OverseasFax.com works the same way in Chrome and starts at $2.99 per fax.
Does the fax still send if I close Chrome?
Yes, once payment is complete. The fax is queued and sent server side, so closing the browser afterwards makes no difference. The confirmation still arrives by email.
Can I fax without an account on Android?
Yes. There is no account, no password and no signup. You give an email address only so the delivery confirmation and any refund notice can reach you.
What if my Android scan comes out dark or blurry?
Rescan it rather than sending. Google Drive's Scan straightens the page and improves contrast. Even lighting matters, because fax transmits in black and white at low resolution and a dark photo often arrives unreadable.
Can I fax multiple documents at once from Android?
Yes. Upload up to 10 separate files, including a mix of PDFs and photos, and they are merged into one fax in the order you add them. You are charged on the total page count.
Is faxing from Android secure?
Documents travel over an encrypted HTTPS connection and are permanently deleted from the servers as soon as the fax is sent. Nothing is stored or shared. For protected health information, though, you need a HIPAA compliant service with a signed BAA.
