This is an easy and straightforward way to determine your fax line. The operator gives you your number automatically. You don’t need to provide any additional information.

For example, if you don’t know the number of your work fax machine, call your personal cell phone with the machine. Then, write down the fax number as listed on your phone.

If you are unsure of what the business’ website is, type the business name in an Internet search engine.

For example, you may find the business’ “Contact Us” page listing their fax number. You can also use phone directory websites to find fax numbers. These are particular sites that have a directory of fax numbers across many different types of businesses.

Calling is a more direct way to get the fax number, as there is no guarantee your email will be answered.

When you do this, try to get the area code as well. This helps you narrow down your options as you search for the correct line.

A reverse number search is where you use a phone number to locate the name of a business or individual, rather than searching with the name in order to find the number.

If the fax number is tied to a business, the company name and address is usually listed. If the fax number is tied to a personal fax machine, you may receive information either on the owner or from the phone line carrier provider.
