Specifying fax recipients
When sending a fax, the recipients' fax numbers must always include the international dial symbol "+", the country and area codes. Do not use hyphens, spaces or dashes between any parts of the fax number.
These are required when sending faxes:
- Abroad - for example, from United States to Brazil
- Locally - for example, from United States to United States.
Sending fax via email
When sending a fax via email, key in the fax number in the To field, using the following format: faxnumber@gfifax.com. Replace faxnumber with the full recipient’s fax number. You can key in up to two hundred recipient numbers, using the same format for each and separated with a semi-colon (;).
For example: +441273123456@gfifax.com; +420313414515@gfifax.com;
NOTE
If your email client supports TLS 1.2 you can enforce it using the following format: faxnumber@securefax.gfifax.com.
For example +441273123456@securefax.gfifax.com;
This will force the fax to be delivered over TLS 1.2, the highest security standard.
