How to receive a fax online
To receive faxes online you need a fax number that rings at an online fax service instead of a machine. Incoming faxes are saved as PDFs you can view, download, forward or sign.

Questions
Is a fax number included?
Yes, on paid plans: one fax number is included with each seat. A Free account sends from our shared number and has no number of its own. The free trial includes one number.

Can more than one person get the same faxes?
Yes. On a team plan, faxes to a shared number appear in the team list.
