ClearFax facts

ClearFax is an iPhone, iPad and Android app that sends faxes from your phone. One purchase covers one successful fax, and every fax that goes through gets a receipt PDF. Each fax can have up to 50 pages, plus a cover page that's included and never billed. The price depends on page count, not the destination country. No subscription, no account. If the fax network reports a failed send, your purchase isn't used up and another try is included. ClearFax only sends: it doesn't receive faxes or give you a fax number.
