Step-by-step guide
Open OneFaxNow on your iPhone
Open Safari and go to OneFaxNow.com. You can also download the OneFaxNow app from the App Store. Both work the same way — the app adds a built-in document scanner.
Tap "Send a Fax" to open the fax form. No account creation, no sign-up — you go straight to uploading.
Add your document
Tap "Choose Files" to upload from your iPhone. You can select:
- PDF — from Files, email attachments, or iCloud Drive
- Photo — JPG or PNG from your camera roll
- DOCX / TXT — Word documents or plain text
Using the app? Tap the camera icon to scan a paper document — it auto-straightens and enhances the image for fax quality.
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/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 Apple Pay for the fastest checkout, or use a credit/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 iPhone
- Automatic retries if the line is busy (up to 3 attempts)
- Email confirmation when delivery is complete
iPhone faxing tips
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 quickly.
HEIC photos? Use the app
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default. The OneFaxNow app converts them automatically. On Safari, save as JPG first or use a PDF instead.
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.
