What FaxBurner is

FaxBurner is a fax service for sending and receiving documents through mobile apps, email, and supported computers. Free signup does not require a credit card and includes a temporary fax number that lasts 24 hours. Free users can send five pages total and receive 25 pages per month. Paid plans provide permanent toll-free numbers: Professional costs $14.95 a month for 500 inbound and outbound pages monthly, while Premier costs $24.95 a month for 2,000 pages monthly. Users can send faxes from Gmail, Outlook, or another inbox, and use PDFs, JPEGs, PNGs, scanned documents, photos, or uploaded files. Other features include archiving, online signing, combining files, and creating faxes from photos. FaxBurner supports iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, Mac, Windows, and Linux. Faxes pass through secure servers and are delivered to the app inbox or email. The service lists FAQs and a Help Center, but no compliance support. It says it has operated since 2010. Cancellation or downgrading may make a paid number temporary again and restore free-tier limits.
