Keep the fax number.
Lose the machine.

Some things still arrive by fax — and some organisations still insist on receiving one. You can keep a working fax number without keeping a fax machine, a dedicated phone line, or a toner cartridge nobody can find. Faxes come to your inbox, and you send them the same way.

01 / Why it persists

Fax refuses to die.

It should have gone twenty years ago. It hasn't, because whole industries still run on it — and because your number is printed on things you cannot recall.

02 / How it works

It behaves like email, because it is.

There is nothing to install and nothing to plug in. The number lives on our systems; what reaches you is ordinary email.

  1. Step 01
    You get a number, or keep yours
    Take a new fax number from us, or move the one you already publish. Keeping the existing number is usually the point — it is on your letterhead and in other people's address books, and it carries on working.
  2. Step 02
    Faxes to that number arrive as email
    Sent to whichever address you choose, with the fax itself as an attachment. Read it on a phone, forward it to a colleague, file it where the rest of your paperwork lives.
  3. Step 03
    You send faxes by email too
    Send outbound faxes from your normal mail, so the one supplier who still demands a fax gets one — without you going to find a machine.
  4. Step 04
    Then you stop thinking about it
    No line rental, no hardware, nothing to maintain. It sits in the background doing its job, which is all a fax number has ever needed to do.
03 / Worth knowing

A few sensible questions.

The things people usually ask before moving a fax number.

F / 01Numbers

Can I keep my number?

Usually, yes — that is the most common reason for doing this at all. Tell us the number and we will confirm whether it can move.

F / 02Delivery

Where do faxes go?

To any address you like — one person, a shared inbox, or a mailbox on your own domain hosted with us alongside the rest of your email.

F / 03Leaving

What about my old line?

Once the number has moved and faxes are arriving, the line and the machine it fed have nothing left to do.

Still got a fax machine? You needn't have.

Tell us the number you want to keep and we will tell you what is involved. We have been doing this for businesses in Aylesbury and beyond since 2001.
