How to Locate Fax Numbers

Most businesses have published fax numbers available to the public but finding them can be a bit of a hassle at times. Fax numbers for businesses can be located in a variety of ways using common online resources.

• 1

  Google it. Google is one of the most powerful search engines available on the Web and many times simply typing in the name of the business will yield results.

• 2

  Visit the company's website. If a search engine result doesn't provide contact information but does provide a website for the company, you will more than likely be able to find fax numbers listed under the "contact us" section.

• 3

  Try your local phone book. Many people overlook this useful tool in favor of the Internet but phone books will often list fax numbers as well as phone numbers for businesses.

• 4

  Visit a site like Yellowpages.com or Jigsaw.com. While these sites don't always have fax numbers listed, they normally have other useful information like company website and a phone number that can help you find the fax number.

• 5

  Call the company directly. Sometimes it's easier to place a call to a company's main office and request the fax number. If you don't have the phone number, use one of the above methods to quickly locate it.
