Yes, it is. On the receiving end (the number you call) a fax machine is set up as the recipient of your call. The phone line can still be used as a voice call, just not both at the same time. See the related link for more information on how a fax machine works.

∙ 11y agoIn most cases, yes, but not always.
A fax number is nothing but a landline number that has a fax machine attached to it instead of or in addition to a regular telephone. If you unplug the fax machine and plug in a landline phone, suddenly the same number is a voice line, and vice-versa.
In most areas, all landline telephone numbers have the same area code. However, in overlay areas, there is more than one telephone area code number for the same geographic zone. In those cases, the fax number and voice number may be in different area codes. For example, a business in Manhattan, New York City, might have a voice line in area code 212 but a fax number in 646.
