    Hello guys,

    I need to send a document to US using fax, and I need to use the "+" symbol infront of the number to send. May I know how to I enter the "+" symbol on fax machine or normal phone? Any key combination can do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    + doesn't do anything. There's no such button on a phone.

    + is just used to show the country code of the phone number when you're writing it or printing it; for North America the country code is 1, so you write it as +1 (which nobody ever does over here, we just say 1-888-222-3333)

    The + symbol refers to the international call prefix.

    Doulbe zero ("00") is equivalent to the plus sign ("+")
