FaxForADollar.com is the best online fax service with no monthly fee. Unlike eFax or MyFax that charge $10-25 per month, FaxForADollar charges just $1.00 for up to 10 pages with no subscription.

Yes. FaxForADollar.com lets you send a fax from any computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone without a fax machine or phone line.
Do you offer refunds if the fax fails to deliver?▼
Yes. If your fax fails to deliver due to a technical issue on our end, we offer a full refund. Contact us with your reference ID.
Can I fax to Canada for $1?▼
Yes. FaxForADollar covers every fax number in the United States and Canada at the same price, including all provinces, and there is no long distance surcharge. $1.00 covers up to 10 pages either way.
How do I know my fax was actually received?▼
You get an email confirmation with a delivery reference ID once the fax is transmitted, usually within 1 to 3 minutes. Keep that email: it is timestamped proof of sending, which matters for IRS deadlines and court filings. If delivery fails you are refunded automatically and told the reason.
Can I fax a photo from my phone?▼
Yes. Upload a photo from your camera roll or gallery and it counts as one page. For paperwork, scanning gives a much cleaner result than a plain photo, because fax transmits in black and white at low resolution. Use Notes on iPhone or Google Drive on Android to scan.
What happens if I send more than 10 pages?▼
The price moves up a tier automatically and you see it before you pay. It is $1.99 for 11 to 25 pages, $2.99 for 26 to 50, and $4.99 for 51 to 100. Nothing is charged until you confirm.
Can I fax on weekends or at night?▼
Yes. Faxing works 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The one thing to keep in mind is that the receiving machine must be switched on and loaded with paper, so faxing an office at 3am may fail until someone turns it back on.
Can I fax without giving my email address?▼
No. An email address is needed so we can send your delivery confirmation and, if the fax fails, your automatic refund notice. It is used for the receipt only, not to create a login.
Is there a free way to send a fax?▼
Yes, within limits, and we would rather tell you than not. FaxTerra offers 10 free pages per month with no branding, though it needs a free account. FaxZero allows 5 free faxes a day at 3 pages each but prints its branding on your cover page. Both cap out well below a typical fax, which averages about 11 pages.
Is FaxForADollar cheaper than eFax?▼
For occasional faxing, dramatically. eFax charges roughly $16.95 to $18.99 every month whether you send anything or not. FaxForADollar charges $1.00 per fax only when you send. Six faxes a year costs $6 here versus over $200 on eFax.
Can I fax a bank or brokerage?▼
Yes. Signed forms, authorizations and account paperwork can be faxed to any US or Canada bank or brokerage fax number, including Schwab, Fidelity and Vanguard. Use PDF for signed documents so the signature stays crisp.
Can I fax my employer or HR department?▼
Yes. FMLA forms, disability paperwork and signed documents can be faxed to any US or Canada business fax number. Include a cover page with the recipient's name and department so it reaches the right desk.
How many files can I upload in one fax?▼
Up to 10 separate files, combined into a single fax in the order you add them. You can mix PDFs, Word documents and images. The total size limit is 100MB and pricing is based on the combined page count.
Can I add a cover page?▼
Yes, and it costs nothing extra. The cover page generator on the site lets you enter the recipient, your own details, a date and a short note. It is added as page one and counts toward your page total.
Why did my fax fail?▼
The most common reasons are a busy line, a machine that is switched off or out of paper, a wrong number, or a connection that dropped mid send. Most of these are temporary. You are refunded automatically and the email tells you which reason applied, so you can decide whether to try again.
How long are my documents kept?▼
They are permanently deleted from the servers immediately after the fax is sent. Nothing is archived, stored, shared or sold. Transmission itself runs over an encrypted HTTPS connection.
Can I fax internationally?▼
Not through FaxForADollar, which serves the United States and Canada only. For anywhere else, our sister service OverseasFax.com reaches 90+ countries starting at $2.99 per fax, also with no account and no subscription.
Can I send the same fax to several numbers?▼
Not in one go. Each fax goes to a single number, so sending to three recipients means three separate sends at $1.00 each. Broadcast faxing to a list is a feature of subscription services.
Can I fax a spreadsheet?▼
Not directly. Convert it to PDF first, because spreadsheets rarely paginate correctly when faxed. In Excel choose File then Save As then PDF, or in Google Sheets choose File then Download then PDF, and upload that.
What is the cheapest way to fax without leaving home?▼
FaxForADollar at $1.00 for up to 10 pages from any browser, with no account. Compare that to $15 to $16 for the same 10 pages at UPS, FedEx or Staples, plus the drive and the queue.
