Your Own Dedicated Fax Number
Pick your own area code in the US or Canada. Your dedicated number is yours for as long as you're subscribed, with incoming faxes arriving in your dashboard as PDFs.
Quick Answer
A dedicated fax number is a virtual phone number in your chosen US or Canadian area code that receives faxes in your Best Fax dashboard as PDFs. Your number is yours for as long as you're subscribed, so you can print it on business cards and use it on forms. Best Fax includes one with every $10/month plan.

What Is a Dedicated Fax Number?
A dedicated fax number is a phone number assigned exclusively to you for receiving faxes while your subscription is active. Only faxes sent to your number reach your account. With Best Fax, your dedicated number works like a virtual fax line: incoming faxes arrive as PDFs in your online dashboard. You can share this number publicly, just like a traditional fax line, without needing any physical equipment.
Why You Need a Dedicated Fax Number
Many situations require a fax number you can share with others. Organizations use fax numbers for receiving forms, filings, vendor communications, purchase orders, and signed contracts. Individuals may also need a fax number for insurance claims, tax documents, or legal matters. A dedicated Best Fax number gives you a consistent professional fax presence for as long as you're subscribed, without the cost of a fax machine and phone line.
Included with Every Subscription
Your dedicated fax number is included in the $10/month Best Fax subscription at no extra cost. There's no setup fee, no per-use charge, and no limit on how many faxes you can receive. The number is activated instantly when you subscribe and remains yours for the duration of your subscription. If you cancel and resubscribe later, contact support to request the same number.
How Incoming Faxes Reach You
When someone sends a fax to your dedicated number, the transmission is received by Best Fax over the phone network. The document is automatically converted from fax format to a high-quality PDF. It's then stored in your Best Fax dashboard as a PDF, and an in-app notification lets you know the fax has arrived. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes from the time the sender dials your number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get to choose my fax number?
Yes. After signing up you can pick your country (United States or Canada) and search our number pool by 3-digit area code, then choose the specific number you want. If no number is currently available in your preferred area code, try a nearby one — or reach out to support and our team can review the request manually.
