Porting a FaxZero Number to Send FAX Mail
Searching for how to port a FaxZero number? Here's the honest answer: FaxZero is a send-only web service that doesn't assign you a dedicated fax number, so in most cases there's nothing to port. This page explains what that means and how to get a real, portable fax number with Send FAX Mail.
FaxZero lets you send a limited number of faxes from a web form at no cost, without signing up for a dedicated line. Because it never gives you your own inbound fax number, there is usually no number to port when you move to Send FAX Mail — you weren't renting a number in the first place. What people leaving FaxZero actually want is a real fax number they can send from and receive on, which is what Send FAX Mail sets up in minutes.

Getting your details from FaxZero
