Send a fax to France online

Check the French destination before preparing your fax

1. For a metropolitan France number, choose France and use +33. Omit the first domestic 0 in international format: 01 23 45 67 89 becomes +33 1 23 45 67 89. Use the fax line supplied by the recipient, not a general telephone number.
2. Do not assume that every French overseas destination uses +33. Confirm the location and country code with the recipient, then check whether that destination is offered at checkout. Do not force a number with a different country code into the France selection.
3. Open and review every page, including any cover sheet. Add the receiving department and any reference requested by the office. After uploading, check the page count, number, current availability and total price before authorizing PayPal, and keep the final delivery result for your records.
