Pro Tips for International Faxing

1. Double-Check the Full Number

Before you hit send, give the number one last look to make sure it includes the +, the country code, and the correct local number (with any leading zero removed). A quick check can prevent a failed fax.

2. Send a Test Page

If it’s your first time faxing a particular country, send a one-page test first. It’s a simple way to confirm you have the right number before sending a large document.

3. Mind the Time Zone

For urgent faxes, try to send during the recipient’s business hours. While most fax machines are always on, sending during their workday means someone is more likely to see it right away.

4. Keep Your Confirmation Receipt

Your delivery receipt is your proof that the fax arrived. Always save it, especially for important business, legal, or medical documents.

Common International Fax Number Mistakes

Wrong: 020 1234 5678 (missing country code) ✅ Correct: +44 20 1234 5678

Wrong: +44 020 1234 5678 (leading zero included) ✅ Correct: +44 20 1234 5678

Wrong: 44 20 1234 5678 (missing + symbol) ✅ Correct: +44 20 1234 5678

Cost Considerations

International fax costs vary significantly:

For frequent international faxing, consider services that offer flat-rate pricing rather than per-page charges.

Your Worldwide Faxing Checklist

With this guide, you have everything you need to send a fax anywhere in the world. Just find the code, format the number correctly, and you’re all set.


This country code list was last updated in 2026. These codes are set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and rarely change, but always double-check the full number before sending critical documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do international country codes change often?

Rarely. Country calling codes are managed internationally and tend to stay stable for long periods, but number plans within a country can change.

How do I format an international fax number?

Use + followed by the country code and national number. A domestic trunk prefix, often 0, is usually removed, but not always. Italy is a notable exception, so verify the destination country's numbering plan.

Why does my international fax fail even with the right country code?

Common causes include a missing/extra digit, keeping a leading 0 in the area code, a busy destination line, or sending outside business hours.
