Tips for a fax that arrives right the first time
- Use a cover page. It tells the front desk who the fax is for, which matters at busy clinics and law offices.
- Check the number format. Include the country and area code, especially when faxing outside Canada.
- Know your page count abroad. A page to the US, Canada or the UK counts as one plan page; some countries count as more.
- Keep the receipt. The time-stamped delivery receipt is your proof the fax arrived.
