fax numbers

Document sending codes

A fax number is a telephone number assigned to a fax machine, which transmits documents over phone lines.

Before email became dominant, businesses routinely listed fax numbers alongside phone numbers on letterhead and business cards: Send the signed contract to our fax number.

The technology persists in legal, medical, and government contexts where physical signatures or secure transmission matter.
