Setting up a new fax machine, scanner, or online fax service (RingCentral, eFax, HelloFax, etc.) and want to make sure everything is working before sending real documents?
HP still runs a completely free “echo” fax test service — you send them a fax, and seconds later they automatically fax your page right back with a confirmation header.
It’s 100% free, no registration, and works from any fax machine, multifunction printer, or online fax account.
**How to use it (takes under 2 minutes):**
1. Load a test page (anything — even a blank sheet or a note that says “TEST”)
2. Dial one of these numbers (all still active worldwide as of November 2025):
- United States: 1-888-HPFaxMe (1-888-473-2963)
- Canada: 1-877-646-3298
- UK: 0800-279-0095
- Many other countries listed here → https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00259105
3. Send the fax
4. Wait 30–90 seconds — your exact page comes back with a header confirming it was received and re-sent successfully
**Why this is still the best way to test in 2025**
- Confirms both send AND receive are working
- Tests image quality, margins, and scanner cleanliness
- Works with traditional fax machines, VoIP/ATA adapters, and every online fax service we’ve ever tried
- No cost, no account, no spam
Pro tip: Keep that confirmation page — it has the exact time/date and proves your system is working perfectly if you ever need documentation.
