Can I receive a fax with Faxturbo?

The short answer

No, Faxturbo is for sending only. Receiving requires a number reserved in your name, which is a different, subscription-based service.

The receive-a-fax page explains how reception works and which options exist, including delivery to your email.

Why sending and receiving differ

Sending only needs a line for the length of a call. Receiving needs a number that stays available in your name at all times, and that is why it is almost always billed by subscription.

Faxturbo concentrates on the first case: a document leaves, you follow it, and that is all.

Ways to receive a fax

You can keep a physical machine on a landline, or rent a number from an online fax-to-email provider, which converts incoming pages to PDF and sends them to your inbox.

If you receive only the occasional fax, ask the sender whether an email would do, or arrange a one-off option. The receiving guide compares these routes.

Key points

  • Faxturbo sends, it does not receive
  • Reception needs a number reserved for you
  • Options: a machine or a fax-to-email service
  • Occasional faxes may be easier by email
