Writing a fax number for Belgium
Inside Belgium, numbers start with a 0. From abroad, replace that 0 with +32:
| Written as | Type in FaxBuddy |
|---|---|
| 02 512 34 56 (Brussels) | +32 2 512 34 56 |
| 03 231 23 45 (Antwerp) | +32 3 231 23 45 |
| 09 210 10 10 (Ghent) | +32 9 210 10 10 |
You don’t need 011 or 00: the + does that. Once you type +32, the flag beside the number shows Belgium. Or tap the flag, choose Belgium, and type the number as it’s written there.
Step by step
- Tap New Fax and add your pages: scan them, or pick a PDF or photos.
- Type the number starting with +32, like +32 2 512 34 56.
- Add a free cover page if the office expects one, with who it’s for and who it’s from.
- Tap Send, or Send Later to have it arrive in office hours there.
Numbers you can’t fax
- 0900 and 0903 premium-rate numbers: FaxBuddy refuses them before you send, because calls to them cost far more than a page.
- Mobile numbers (starting 04): FaxBuddy refuses them, because calls to mobiles in Belgium cost far more than a page, and mobiles almost never receive faxes.
The time difference
Belgium is usually 6 hours ahead of New York and 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles. Fax machines answer around the clock, but a fax that lands at night waits on a pile. Schedule it with Send Later and FaxBuddy sends it from our servers at that time, even if your iPhone is off.
What it costs
The same as any fax in FaxBuddy: one credit per page, to all 17 countries we fax, from $0.40 a page in the 100-page pack. Your first page is free, cover pages are free, and if the fax isn’t delivered, the credits come back. See all prices · All 17 countries.
Questions
Do I need to dial 011 to fax Belgium from the US?
No. Type +32 and the number without its leading 0. The + replaces 011.
Is faxing Belgium more expensive?
No. FaxBuddy charges one credit per page to every country it faxes.
Can I fax a mobile number in Belgium?
No. FaxBuddy refuses mobile numbers in Belgium: calls to them cost far more than a page, and mobiles almost never receive faxes.
What if the fax doesn’t go through?
You see why (busy, no answer, not a fax machine), the credits come back automatically, and you can tap Retry Fax.
