Does in cost any extra to send a fax internationally?

Question

Do fax machines work more like e-mail, where you can send as many as you want regardless of the destination for the same price of the service provider. Or is it more like calling someone on the phone, where one is charged by the destination and and time spent.

Answer 1

Think of a fax machine as a telephone call. If you make a long-distance call, or in your case, an international call, it does cost more.

Answer 2

Yes it does cost more to fax internationally. Instead of thinking of a fax machine like email think of it as a telephone call (because that's what it is). If you have a choice between fax and email go with the email.

Answer 3

Faxes use the same lines as traditional telephones, thus the rates are the same and you pay based on destination and by the minute, or per your service provider contract.

Answer 4

Yes, it's like calling someone on the phone and you will be charged by the rate for that particular country and time spent.
