๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ How to Fax Indonesia: Number Format, Cost and Steps

๐Ÿ“… Updated November 2026 ยท ๐ŸŒ Worldwide delivery
โœฆ Quick Answer

Choose Indonesia (+62), leave out the first 0 of the fax number and type every digit that follows it. The price is $4.99 for up to 3 pages and $0.99 for each extra page, and a fax that cannot be delivered is refunded automatically.

Typing an Indonesian Fax Number

Indonesia's national technical plan, issued by the communications ministry in 2018, sets 0 as the national prefix, in line with the international standard. That 0 is used only inside Indonesia, so you leave it out and our site adds +62 for you. Under the same plan, an office line has 10 digits after the 0: an area code of 2 or 3 digits followed by a subscriber number of 8 or 7 digits. Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya each have two-digit area codes, so subscriber numbers there have 8 digits.

City with a two-digit area code: (0xx) xxxx xxxx is entered as xxxxxxxxxx, which is ten digits.

City with a three-digit area code: (0xxx) xxx xxxx is entered as xxxxxxxxxx, which is also ten digits.

Number printed with +62 in front: type only the digits that come after 62.

If your number is shorter. If fewer than ten digits follow the 0, type the number exactly as it is printed, but please ask the recipient to confirm it, because an incomplete number is the most common reason a fax cannot be delivered.

๐Ÿ’ฐ What It Costs

Indonesia is priced at $4.99 for 1 to 3 pages, and every page after the third costs $0.99. For a 5-page document you pay $4.99 plus $1.98, which makes $6.97. The price is always shown on the screen before you pay, you do not need an account, and there is no monthly fee.

๐Ÿ“‹ Step by Step: How to Send It

You can send the fax from a phone, a tablet or a computer, and you only need the recipient's fax number.

1
Upload your document

Open overseasfax.com and add your pages. One fax can include up to 10 files, such as a PDF, a Word file or a clear photo.

2
Choose Indonesia

Select Indonesia in the country list. The price of $4.99 appears and +62 is placed in front of the number box.

3
Type the number without the 0

Enter the area code and subscriber number without the first 0, usually ten digits for an office line.

4
Pay and read the confirmation

Enter your email and pay by card. Delivery usually happens within a few minutes, some international routes can take up to about 30 minutes, and the email shows the destination number, the page count and the time in US Eastern Time.

What to Put on the Cover Page

We do not print anything on your document, so a cover page is where the office learns who the fax is for and who sent it. Please write the recipient's name and department, the fax number, your own name and email address, the number of pages and any reference number from their letter. You can write the cover page in English, and copying the recipient's name and title exactly as they wrote them makes it easier for the staff to route your fax.

If the Fax Does Not Go Through

Most failed faxes to Indonesia come from a 0 left at the front, a missing digit, or a line that was busy or switched off. Indonesia is many hours ahead of the US, so please check the local time in the city you are sending to and aim for the office's working hours there, when the fax machine is most likely to be switched on. If a fax cannot be delivered, the payment is refunded automatically, and you can check the number and send again.

Receiving a Reply by Fax

If the office in Indonesia needs to fax something back to you, GetAFax.com gives you a private US fax number for 24 hours for $5. It receives up to 30 pages, and each fax arrives in your email as a PDF.

Who in the US Faxes Indonesia

People in the US send faxes to Indonesia when an office there asks for a signed paper copy, for example an embassy or consulate, a university, a bank or a business partner. Please always take the fax number from the office's own official website or from its letter to you.
