Writing a fax number for Mexico
Numbers in Mexico have no leading 0 to drop. Put +52 in front of the number as written:
| Written as | Type in FaxBuddy |
|---|---|
| 55 1234 5678 (Mexico City) | +52 55 1234 5678 |
| 33 1234 5678 (Guadalajara) | +52 33 1234 5678 |
| 81 1234 5678 (Monterrey) | +52 81 1234 5678 |
You don’t need 011 or 00: the + does that. Once you type +52, the flag beside the number shows Mexico. Or tap the flag, choose Mexico, 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 +52, like +52 55 1234 5678.
- 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
- 900 premium-rate numbers: FaxBuddy refuses them before you send, because calls to them cost far more than a page.
- Mobile numbers look the same as landlines in Mexico, so FaxBuddy can’t warn you about them. Make sure it’s the number marked “Fax”.
The time difference
Mexico City is one hour behind New York in winter and two in summer: Mexico no longer changes its clocks. 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 Mexico from the US?
No. Type +52 and the number. The + replaces 011.
Is faxing Mexico more expensive?
No. FaxBuddy charges one credit per page to every country it faxes.
Can I fax a mobile number in Mexico?
FaxBuddy can’t tell mobiles from landlines there, but almost no mobile receives faxes. Use the number marked “Fax”.
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.
