How to Send a Fax to Finland

Sending a fax to Finland is not difficult as long as you have a few basic items, such as the recipient's fax number and access to a fax machine.

Things You'll Need

• Recipient's fax number
• Fax machine or access to a faxing service

Instructions

1. Consider the time difference between Finland and the United States. If you wish for your fax to be received during business hours, check the time difference between these two continents.

2. Obtain the fax number of the person or business you wish to send a fax to. This may be the local number, which can vary in length from four up to nine numbers.

3. Obtain the country code for the number you are going to be faxing to. All European countries use country codes, which are usually two or three digits. The country code for Finland is +358, so you would begin by dialing 011 (which is the country exit code) then 358.

4. Obtain the city code for the number you are going to be faxing to. All European countries use city codes; Helsinki's city code is 9. Therefore, to call Helsinki, Finland, from the United States, you would dial 011 + 358 + 9 + the local telephone number.

5. Insert the documents you wish to fax into the fax machine.

6. Dial the fax number when prompted and hit the "Start" or "Send" button.

7. Stand by and wait for the fax to go through.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are not certain of the phone number, country code or city code, contact the recipient or dial the operator for assistance.
