Fax dialing help
Dialing in or sending out from our service is governed by the normal rules of the telephone system.
For people sending to you
When you start your service with UTBox, or any other company providing you a phone number you will get a full international number that is your own throughout the world. Typically this might look like;
61282115111
We can break this down to:
61 - Australia
2 - International form of area code for NSW
82115111 - our fax number
| What to dial | Information |
|---|---|
| Local | |
|
82115111 |
If someone from the same area code as us was to dial our fax line they need only dial 82115111. |
| Interstate | |
| 0282115111 |
If the caller/sender is in another state they will need to use the area code, in our example it's 02. So the full number becomes 0282115111. |
| International | |
| xx61282115111 |
If someone is calling internationally they would have to also include the Australia country code, 61. The number dialled would become xx61282115111, where xx is they will also need to add an exit code local to their location, such as 0011 or 00. This can be obtained from the local carrier. Please note that the 0 is removed from the front of the area code when dialing internationally, this applies to all Australian area codes. |
When you're sending out
Sending out is very simple. You use the phonenumber@fax.utbox.net convention to fax out and the number you use will depend on where you're sending.

0282115111 (0282115111@fax.utbox.net) 61282115111 (61282115111@fax.utbox.net) |
Sending within Australia you are able to start with the area code (e.g. 02, 03 etc) or with 61 (Australian country code). If using 61 please omit the leading "0" from the area code.
