The iPhone fax app
Diesen Artikel auf Deutsch lesen
Use your iPhone as a personal fax machine in the palm of your hand. Municorn Fax sends and receives from your own fax number, tracks every fax to its destination and is HIPAA compliant. It’s as easy as email, we promise!
A fax machine that fits in your pocket
Three things you’ll use every time, shown in the app.
Send and receive on your phone
It takes minutes to send a fax from your iPhone, with no extra hardware: all you need is an internet connection. To receive, give people the fax number that comes with your plan, and faxes arrive in your inbox.
Track every fax
Any fax you send is tracked right up to its destination, so you know it arrived. Unlike a fax machine, the proof of delivery stays on your phone for as long as you need it.
Scan and fax
Scan paper documents with the camera and send them as faxes right away. No trip to an office store, which is both convenient and private.
Send your first fax
Add the document
Scan it with the camera, or pick a PDF, photo or file from iCloud, Google Drive or Dropbox.
Enter the fax number
Type it, or pick it from your contacts. Add a cover sheet if the other end wants one.
Send it
You’ll get a notification when it’s delivered, with the number of pages that went through.

| A store counterThe UPS Store, FedEx, Staples | The paper, and a trip | About $1.50–$3 a page | At some stores, for a fee | A page or two, once in a while |
| A fax machineAt home or in the office | The machine and a phone line | The line every month, plus ink and paper | Yes, on the line’s number | High volumes on paper |

What people say about it
Rated 4.8 from 370,000+ ratings on the App Store.
This is one of the best apps ever! If you don’t want to buy a fax machine and pay for a landline to connect it to monthly this is the best thing for you! Fax, conveniently right from your phone!
I needed to send an important fax and the process was simple, fast, secure, and I received a confirmation that the fax was successfully received. Yes, it will cost you $10 to subscribe for a week but it’s more convenient and likely cheaper than going to a store to do it. If you need to send an important document and don’t mind spending a few bucks to get it done I highly recommend this app.
Very effective for phone and iPad business on-the-go. Maximized my work away from office and home!
