Frequently asked questions

What is a temporary fax number?

A temporary fax number is a real US fax number that is active for 24 hours (or until the first fax is received). It is designed for one-off receiving — no subscription, no permanent number, no account required. FaxSeal charges $2.99 only if a fax actually arrives.

Am I charged if no fax arrives?

No. Your card is authorized at checkout but only captured when a fax is delivered. If the number expires unused, the authorization is cancelled and you are never charged.

How do I receive the fax?

The fax is converted to a PDF and emailed to the address you provide at checkout. You also get a secure download link that works without logging in.

Is the fax number a real US number?

Yes. FaxSeal provisions a real US fax number through a carrier-grade telephony provider. Any standard fax machine or online fax service can send to it.

Can I receive more than one fax?

The temporary number is designed for a single delivery — after the first fax arrives the number is released. If you need to receive faxes regularly, a dedicated fax number subscription is a better fit.

How long is the number valid?

The number stays active for 24 hours from purchase or until the first fax arrives, whichever comes first. If no fax arrives within 24 hours the number expires and your card is not charged.

Do I need an account?

No account is required. Enter your email at checkout — that is all. If you do have a FaxSeal account and are logged in, the received fax also appears in your inbox.

What if I need a permanent fax number?

FaxSeal offers dedicated fax number plans starting with a personal tier. A permanent number gives you a searchable inbox, OCR text extraction, and Auto-Forward — every inbound fax is emailed to up to 5 addresses as a PDF the moment it arrives, so you never need to log in to receive faxes.
