I found this site today while trying to see if a fax machine was working correctly. It is always tough testing a fax because you must have a friend who is home, with a fax, and willing to help. Thanks to a commenter, you can try this test fax service from HP as well.
This site lets you enter a fax number and, in a few minutes, you will receive a test fax.
Please READ the above text and click the above links.
DO NOT leave your FAX number in the comments.
IF you really want me to send you a test FAX, I will do so for a $5 charge…click the Buy Now button below if you want that option and leave your fax number in the comment/note section of your payment. Thank you.
thank you! i just received my test fax back from hp!
have a happy day and God bless you!

Presumably, you want to test your fax machine by sending a fax from it and receiving a fax with it. Here?s how to do both:
To test the send functionality of your fax machine, send a one-page fax to 1-510-545-0990 (a number in Northern California.) When it?s finished transmitting, point your web browser to Fax Toy http://faxtoy.net/ ? it?s a fun web site that displays whatever is faxed to that number. Within a minute, your fax should appear on the site. Click the thumbnail to see a large version.
To test the receive functionality of your fax machine, point your web browser to FaxZero: http://faxzero.com/ this site lets you send faxes for free to anywhere in the United States and Canada. Within a few minutes, your fax machine should ring ? hopefully, it will automatically answer and spit out the test fax.

The FaxToy phone number is now 1-510-545-0990. Toll-free now!
Oops The new FaxToy number is 1-888-877-1655 (toll free!)
hi there
I have a Brother MFC-9840CDW, and I just tested it with the HP test fax line, and it worked!
The HP test fax line worked perfectly with my Brother MFC-9840CDW.
The HP site is automatic; works off caller ID. So if you can’t send out a fax on the same exact number (distinctive ring, for example), then use the Interpage.net site. There you can submit any fax number you wish. However, it doesn’t test your outgoing fax like the HP site does.

WTF I came to this site thinking it would be a good idea to try my fax, but can’t find a way to send the fax. WTF….good idea if it worked.
GOOD BYE! TERRIBLE SITE…CAME ON TO SEND A TEST FAX AND CAN’T FIND A WAY TO SEND ONE…WTF
YOU HAVE A NICE FIELD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE, TOO BAD THERE’S NO WAY TO SEND A TEST FAX, WHICH WAS THE REASON I CAN ON YOUR SITE. duh!!!!!11
You can lead a horse to water….
Chutia dhang se bhejta…!!!
this comments thread is amazing. people read a blog post with a link to a fax service, then they think that by typing “test” in the comments of that blog, they will magically receive said fax to their unspecified fax number. Or they seem to expect the blog to provide the service itself — as if the link was not there.
I imagine some must have talked into their mouse and said “send fax dammit!”
Does anyone know if there is a uk version of this test?
I haven’t seen one. Maybe someone else here will know about that.
I tested my Brother MFC685CW fax with the site. I also use the HP site. Both worked! Thanks for the excellent resource!!
GotFreeFax.com is another website that allows user to send free fax online to the US and Canada. User can either upload a PDF/Word file or enter text to fax. It does not add Ads to user’s fax, which makes it suitable for faxing formal documents.
Thanks for the nice find!
You “Anonymous” are really hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!
Does this site still work? I have been trying for 2 days now and cannot get through. Says no response/busy.
The HP one works for sure. Keep trying.
Thanks, I bought a Brother MFC-5460 on ebay as parts or repair with no manual and was winging it-simply had the line in the wrong spot, lol. It sent finally! Thank you for the quick response, I would have took it as junk on the fax part.
try plugging the phone cord into another jack in the back of the fax machine (if there is one) and the fax should go through
I don’t even have an HP. I have an Epson, thank you HP. Works great and fast.
still working! thank you very much!
Fantastic: thank you for posting this service.
