Faxing to and From Hong Kong (2026): Dialing, the 002 Code and What It Costs
Table of Contents
Quick answer: To fax Hong Kong from abroad, dial your exit code (011 from the US or Canada, 00 from the UK and most of Europe), then 852, then the eight-digit number. There are no area codes. Faxing out of Hong Kong from a landline, use 002, the international code set aside for fax, rather than 001. From a phone, Municorn Fax handles both directions and includes international faxing in every plan, so Hong Kong to London costs the same as Hong Kong to Kowloon.
Hong Kong has its own fax app, a convenience-store chain that lists fax among its services, and an international dialing code set aside just for fax. What’s thin is anything in English about faxing across its border.
Hong Kong Fax Numbers and the 002 Code
Hong Kong numbers are eight digits, and there have been no area codes since 1989. Fixed lines start with 2 or 3. The country code is 852.
| Where you’re faxing from | Dial |
|---|---|
| US or Canada | 011 852 2XXX XXXX |
| UK and most of Europe | 00 852 2XXX XXXX |
| An online fax app | +852 2XXX XXXX, or pick Hong Kong from the list |
| Inside Hong Kong | 2XXX XXXX |
| A Hong Kong landline, faxing abroad | 002 + country code + number |
Hong Kong’s numbering plan, published by the communications regulator OFCA, lists 001 as the international code for voice calls and 002 as the one for fax and data. A fax machine plugged into a Hong Kong line should dial 002 before the overseas number. An app or online service skips all of this and adds the right codes itself.
For other formats, our international faxing guide has a number formatter.
Faxing Hong Kong From Your Phone
With Municorn Fax, faxing Hong Kong takes the same steps as a local fax. Start a new fax, tap the country flag and choose Hong Kong (+852), then type the eight digits. Scan your document with your iPhone or Android camera or attach a PDF from your phone, Google Drive or Dropbox, add a cover page if the office expects one, and send. When it lands you get delivery confirmation: a Delivered status with a timestamp, which is your proof of sending.
Every plan lets you send faxes without limit, international ones included, so the 90-plus countries the app reaches all cost the same. On the Hong Kong App Store it’s HK$78 a week, HK$238 a month or HK$1,948 a year (checked October 2026); on Android it’s billed through Google Play. There’s no free trial, but you can send one free single-page test fax before you subscribe. If you’d rather fax from a computer or straight from your email address, EveryFax sends to Hong Kong within its plans and has a two-week free trial.
What It Costs to Fax Hong Kong, by Service
We checked each provider’s own pages for Hong Kong in October 2026.
| Service | To fax Hong Kong | Fax numbers | From our testing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Municorn Fax | Included in every plan | US and Canadian numbers | International faxing is part of the plan, so a Hong Kong fax costs nothing extra. |
| EveryFax | Included in the plan | US and Canadian numbers | The same network as Municorn Fax, from a browser or your inbox. |
| Fax.Plus | Per its pricing; some destinations count as more than one page | Yes, +852 listed | From our review: “for many countries you will have to pay extra and provide ID” to get a local number. |
| eFax | Extra per-region charge on top of the plan | Not stated | From our review: if a page takes “60 seconds or more to send, it gets charged as 2 pages instead of 1”. |
| GotFreeFax | US$0.29 a page, or US$0.285 prepaid | Not stated | The free tier covers the US and Canada only. |
| FaxZero | US$2.09 a fax, up to 15 pages | No | From our review: “We also struggled to enter an international fax number – the website kept telling us it was invalid.” |
Billing is where international faxes get expensive. Our MyFax review found it “charges customers 1 page for every minute of the transmission – not for every page” on international faxes, and SRFax charges anywhere from 5 cents to $6.61 a page depending on the destination.
Getting a Hong Kong (+852) Fax Number
If you need a number Hong Kong offices can fax locally, there are two options. FAX852, a Hong Kong fax app, includes a local fax number on its monthly send-and-receive plans and also sells pay-as-you-go pages for sending. We haven’t reviewed it; this is from its own site. Fax.Plus lists +852 among its local numbers too, though our review found many countries need an extra fee and ID.
Municorn Fax gives you a number in any US or Canadian area code, and it works from Hong Kong as well as anywhere else. That’s the better fit if most of your faxes go overseas, or come in from North America: you send to Hong Kong, the US or any of 90-plus countries on the same plan, without counting pages. Our guide to getting a fax number online covers the options.
Faxing in Person: Try 7-Eleven
7-Eleven’s own services page says “Fax and photocopying service are available at 7-Eleven, please contact stores for details.” It doesn’t say whether every store sends, receives or both, or what it charges, so phone the branch before you walk over with your documents. Hongkong Post’s list of counter services doesn’t include fax.
Marketing Faxes Into Hong Kong: The Do-Not-Call Rules
Hong Kong’s Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance, enforced by OFCA, runs do-not-call registers that cover fax as well as text messages and pre-recorded calls. Three rules matter if you fax promotions into Hong Kong:
- Don’t send commercial faxes to numbers listed on the registers.
- Every commercial fax has to carry the sender’s name, address and contact phone number.
- The unsubscribe option has to be a Hong Kong fax number, which an overseas sender with only a US number can’t offer.
Read OFCA’s guidance before you send anything promotional. A signed contract or a form an office asked you for isn’t what the registers are about.
On privacy: Municorn Fax and EveryFax are HIPAA compliant with a BAA, which is a US framework. Hong Kong’s data-protection law is the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, overseen by the PCPD, and we don’t claim either product is certified against it.
