Internet Fax FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Internet Fax

    How are the included fax pages calculated?

    This varies among providers, but most assume that a page takes a minute to send, and they round up to the next full minute. So, in fact, when a company offers 100 pages, they're really offering 100 minutes. A graphically complex, single-page fax can actually take several minutes to fax, and would therefore be counted as more than one page.
