What happens to my number if AvoFax ever shut down?

This is a fair question to ask before you commit, and the short answer is that your number is always yours.


You own your number

AvoFax acts as the custodian of your fax number, similar to how a brokerage holds your stocks while you remain the owner. You keep full ownership at all times.


You can leave any time

Under FCC rules, you can port your number out to any other provider whenever you want. Porting in or out takes about 1 to 3 business days.


If AvoFax ever shut down

All records of your number are stored securely and can be ported in or out, so your number would never be stranded. To date, no AvoFax user has ever lost a number.


A track record behind us

AvoFax is backed by a sister company that has been operating since 2016, so there is real experience and stability behind the service.
