What you need on the iPhone

A document in Files or Photos
FaxOnWeb accepts PDF, TIF, TIFF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, DOCX, DOC. Review the pages before selecting the file.
The confirmed fax number
Keep the country code and recipient fax line available. Verify the number with the recipient instead of relying on an old contact record.
A browser and PayPal checkout
No FaxOnWeb account or dedicated app is required. Keep the browser tab open while upload and checkout are in progress.

Send from Safari step by step

1. Choose the file
Tap the upload control and select the PDF or image from the iPhone picker. Wait until validation and page counting finish.
2. Enter and review the destination
Select the destination country and enter the fax number without adding an unrelated local prefix.
3. Authorize and return to status
Authorize the displayed amount in PayPal, return to FaxOnWeb, and keep the status page until delivery or final failure is shown.

When a mobile photo is not enough

Check contrast and page edges
Photograph paper on a flat, well-lit surface and review every page before sending. FaxOnWeb transmits the selected file; it does not correct the document for you.
Prefer a PDF for multi-page order
A single PDF makes page order easier to inspect when several pages belong to one document.
Do not send regulated records by assumption
FaxOnWeb does not make a blanket HIPAA or other regulatory certification claim. Confirm your requirements before uploading sensitive documents.
