Fax testing number request

Can someone with a fax app or a fax machine please check this HP test fax number to see if you can get a faxback from it because I don't think this HP test fax number is actually working but HP insists that it is working.  The number is 18884732963.  It's finally working again after about 6 days so I don't need any more tests.  Thank you for helping if you tried it 👍

Just sent a fax to that number and it completed. Should it send a receipt back?

Seems you need to add a fax header with your return number. See here.

  1. Add your fax number to the fax header. The service uses the header number to send the return fax. Make sure your full 10-digit fax number is in the header, and that it matches the number of the phone line connected to the fax.

Try sending yourself a test fax through a efax service. 

::edit:: Couldn't find a free efax. I suggest you go to a Staples or library and try to send yourself a test fax that way.

Let me know if you get a reply because I'm not getting any replies but it's saying that it was sent successfully and I have included my fax number in the header.  PS: I can send a fax to myself okay I'm confused. 🤔

I am NOT giving my home phone to a stranger, sorry. I also suggest you remove yours too.

I just sent a test fax with header to 1-888-473-2963 and I will let you know if I get anything back.

You can't send yourself a fax through your own fax machine. It would be like calling yourself. You need a different number to fax your number. I really suggest finding a fax machine at your local Staples or UPS store.

I'm trying it again because I don't think I put my fax number in the header before.  Do I have to put 11 digits in the fax header or 10 digits?  I've tried both 10 and 11 digits but still no reply 🤔

Will do. Nothing yet. Might want to dial *82 first or make sure your caller ID is showing the correct number. That's assuming * codes still work.

HP FaxBack @ 1-888-473-2963, Fax connected and was sent successfully.
Waiting for the FaxBack, it is usually quicker than this.

I've sent and received a few Faxes lately so I know my fax is working.
My HP ENVY Photo 7800 All-in-One, occasionally needs unplugged and restarted. I get these Errors that lock-up the printer and Fax.

No FaxBack from HP.

I still haven't heard back from the test fax I sent but I checked my header and I had the area code in parenthesis. I would resend but looks like you have it covered.

No, but I did mine wrong. Want me to repeat or have you already confirmed your number?

Yes try it again because I still can't get a faxback from HP and I have tried about 10 times

I got a call from Axacore which seems to be connected to the HP fax service as per here, but never sent a fax. Was your fax from them too?

Why did they call you?  The HP faxback service is working again after about 6 days if you want to try it again.

My phone is connected to my fax now so their call went to my fax. Saw the number come up on my Ooma history and googled it. It said "receiving" on the fax machine but I never got a completed fax. Something must have gone wrong. Did you get your test fax back from 1-858-427-3412?

I got my faxbacks from 18884732963.  Where did you get that number from?  Is that also a test fax number?

What do you mean where did I get it from? I already said. They called my fax line. Also, when I googled that number it seems others get a return call from that number when using the test fax. Maybe they tried to call to confirm the number before sending? I had assumed the whole system was automated.
