🇹🇿 Sending a Fax to Tanzania Online, Step by Step
Select Tanzania (+255) on our homepage, type the fax number without the 0 at the start, and pay $6.99 for up to 3 pages, then $0.99 for each extra page. A Dar es Salaam number written 022 212 3456 is typed as 222123456, which is 9 digits. There is no account to create, and a fax that fails is refunded automatically.
Typing a Tanzanian fax number correctly
Inside Tanzania, numbers begin with a 0 that is used only for calls within the country. Our form adds +255 for you when you choose Tanzania, so you leave out the 0 and type the remaining 9 digits. Landline area codes in Tanzania cover whole regions rather than single cities, and each one has two digits.
| Area code covers | Written in Tanzania | Type in our box |
|---|---|---|
| Dar es Salaam Region | 022 212 3456 | 222123456 |
| Arusha, Manyara, Kilimanjaro and Tanga | 027 250 1234 | 272501234 |
| Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba) | 024 223 4567 | 242234567 |
| Dodoma, Iringa, Njombe, Singida and Tabora | 026 232 1000 | 262321000 |
The regions and codes above are taken from the Tanzanian national numbering plan published by the International Telecommunication Union in 2024. If a number is printed as +255 22 212 3456, type everything that comes after +255. If you end up with 10 digits, check whether the 0 is still at the front.
The price, with a worked example
Tanzania costs $6.99 for a fax of up to 3 pages. Each additional page is $0.99. For a 5 page fax, you pay $6.99 plus two extra pages at $0.99 each, so the total is $8.97. The page count is read from your files, and the final price is on the screen before you pay.
Nothing renews and nothing is billed later. If the fax cannot be delivered, you are refunded automatically.
Sending a fax to Tanzania, step by step
Go to overseasfax.com and upload a PDF, a Word file or a clear photo. Up to 10 files can go in one fax.
Pick Tanzania from the list. The +255 code is added automatically and the $6.99 price is shown.
Type the number without its first 0. Dar es Salaam 022 212 3456 becomes 222123456.
Enter your email and pay $6.99 for up to 3 pages, plus $0.99 for each page after that.
Your confirmation lists the destination number, the number of pages and the time in US Eastern Time.
A simple cover page for Tanzania
Start with the name of the person or department you are writing to and the name of the organization. Then add your full name, your email address, and a phone number that includes +1 so that it can be dialed from Tanzania. State how many pages you are sending, and add a line about what the documents are, together with any reference number the office has given you. This helps a busy office pass the pages to the right person quickly.
Who sends faxes to Tanzania from the United States
People in the US send faxes to Tanzania when a bank, a university, a law office, a business partner, or an embassy or consulate asks for a signed document. Always take the fax number from the organization itself, either from a letter it sent you or from its own official website.
When the fax does not arrive
First check the number. It should be 9 digits with no 0 at the front, and it should belong to a fax line rather than a voice phone. If the line was busy or the machine was switched off, try again during office hours in Tanzania, which run several hours ahead of the United States, so check the current time in Dar es Salaam before you send.
Most faxes arrive within a few minutes, while some international routes can take up to about 30 minutes. A fax that cannot be delivered is refunded automatically, and you receive an email explaining that it did not go through.
If Tanzania needs to fax you back
You can receive a reply through GetAFax.com, which gives you a private US fax number for 24 hours for $5. Faxes of up to 30 pages arrive in your email as PDF files, so you do not need a machine at home.
