How to Dial an International Fax Number

Send an international fax to your clients overseas.

If you do business with clients who are overseas, you may need to send them a fax once in a while. The process for sending an international fax is almost identical to sending a domestic fax within the United States, except there are a few more numbers involved. Before dialing the fax number, make sure that your phone line has international-calling capabilities. You will be charged international rates while the fax is transmitting your documents.

Things You'll Need

• Fax machine

Instructions

1. Locate the country code of the person you're sending the fax to. See the Resources section for websites that help you find the right code.

2. Dial 011 to access the international network, followed by the country code, city code (similar to a U.S. area code) and then the recipient's fax number.

3. Press the "Send" button. You will hear the fax machine dialing the number and beeping as it transmits your documents.
