How international fax numbers work
International fax numbers follow the same format as international phone numbers. To fax from the US, you need three parts.
Exit code
The US international exit code. Required when dialing from a phone line. Not needed on usfax.com.
Country code
The destination country's code. For example, +44 for the UK, +49 for Germany, +81 for Japan.
Local number
The city or area code followed by the local fax number. Some countries do not require a city code.
Example: Faxing to the United Kingdom
