Sending a fax to the UK is exactly the same as sending a fax to anyone in your home country with the exception of a dialing code. When you enter their fax number press either +44 prior to the number or 0044. You must then knock off the first 0 of their number. Phone numbers in the UK begin with either ‘01’ for a landline or ‘07’ for a mobile or ‘08’ for a commercial number. Omit that first zero and move straight onto the next number.
The use of fax and email have made international communication as easy as communicating with anyone in your country and has changed the way we do business forever. Fax is short for facsimilie, a document sent over a telephone line. Fax machines have existed, in various forms, since the 19th century, though modern fax machines became feasible only in the mid-1970s as the sophistication of technology increased and cost of the three underlying technologies dropped. Digital fax machines first became popular in Japan, where they had a clear advantage over competing technologies like the teleprinter, since at the time (before the development of easy-to-use input method editors) it was faster to handwrite kanji than to type the characters. Over time faxing gradually became affordable, and by the mid-1980s fax machines were very popular around the world.
They are now becoming less popular and widely used as the use of email has taken over. Email is free, instant, convenient and you can attach many files and documents and send them across the world.
