Fax send from iPhone or iPad. Fax documents including PDF documents or scans from your iPhone or iPad to fax numbers in the USA/Canada and to many international locations. Send fax from an iPhone as simply as selecting a document and entering the fax number. Supports faxing to toll-free numbers. Fax multiple files (documents) to multiple fax recipients simultaneously. Fax from directly from Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, OneDrive and Apple's iCloud Drive storage. Made and hosted entirely in the USA. Your data never travels to another country unless you send it there. FaxFile supports fax sending pdf and Microsoft office Word documents (.doc or .docx). It can also send as a fax images - this enables you to fax pictures from your iPhone, iPad or iTouch camera. FaxFile supports using a fax number from an iPhone contact or typed in fax numbers for a one-off fax. Also supports direct image capture (scan) and document transfer from a variety of applications. FaxFile automatically and repeatedly retry faxes that don't go through initially - no additional charge and you don't need to do anything. You will need to purchase fax credits through the app to send a fax. Fax credits are not refundable in whole or in part. NOTE: for international faxes, check the price in the application before purchasing credits to verify that the countries you care about are supported. If a fax fails to go through PLEASE call the number and verify that a fax machine is actually answering. This is the number one problem with failed faxes. Don't rely on "of course the fax machine is working". Faxes of image files (photos of documents) can take quite a while to send as a fax. Allow 1-3 minutes per page to fax if you are sending a scan or image (photo) file.
