Step-by-step guide
Open OneFaxNow on your Android phone
Open Chrome and go to OneFaxNow.com. You can also download the OneFaxNow app from Google Play. Both work the same way — the app adds a built-in document scanner and Android share-intent support.
Tap "Send a Fax" to open the fax form. No account creation, no sign-up, no subscription — you go straight to uploading.
Add your document
Tap "Choose Files" to upload from your Android phone. You can select:
- PDF — from Files, Google Drive, email attachments, or Downloads
- Photo — JPG or PNG from your gallery (no HEIC issues on Android)
- DOCX / TXT — Word documents or plain text files
Using the app? Tap the camera icon to scan a paper document — it auto-straightens and enhances the image for fax quality. You can also share files directly to OneFaxNow from any app using Android's share menu.
Enter the fax number and your email
Type the recipient's U.S. or Canada fax number. The form auto-formats as you type — just enter the digits.
Enter your email address to receive a delivery confirmation when the fax goes through.
Optional: toggle "Add Cover Page" to include sender and recipient details and a message on the first page of your fax.
Pay and send
Review your fax details — number, email, page count, and price — then tap "Pay & Send".
Pay with Google Pay for the fastest checkout, or use a credit or debit card. Your payment is authorized but not charged until the fax is delivered successfully.
Pay-on-success guarantee: If the fax fails after 3 automatic retries, the authorization is released and you're never charged.
Track your delivery
After payment, you'll see a live status page that updates in real time: Sending → Delivered.
- Watch transmission progress live on your Android phone
- Automatic retries if the line is busy (up to 3 attempts)
- Email confirmation when delivery is complete
Android faxing tips
Share directly from any app
Open a PDF in Gmail, Drive, or Files, tap Share, and choose OneFaxNow. The document loads straight into the fax form — no downloading or re-uploading needed.
Use the built-in scanner
The OneFaxNow app includes a document scanner that auto-crops and enhances. Great for paper forms you need to fax on the go.
Multi-page documents
Upload up to 15 files per fax (50 pages total). OneFaxNow automatically merges them into one transmission in the order you add them.
Medical or sensitive docs?
Toggle HIPAA mode before sending. You get encrypted transmission, auto-deletion of files, full audit trail, and an instant BAA — all from your Android phone.
