A method and an apparatus for forwarding facsimile data are provided to reduce a communication cost by shortening a transmission time and avoid a problem of delay of facsimile reception and forwarding operation. The second facsimile receives the second facsimile data from the first facsimile(200). It is checked whether the previously received first facsimile data is being forwarded(202). If the first facsimile data is being forwarded, the second facsimile data is allowed to be combined with the first facsimile data being forwarded(204). Following the forwarding of the first facsimile data, the second facsimile data is forwarded to the third facsimile(206). If the first facsimile data is not being forwarded, it is checked whether the first facsimile data is in a forwarding standby state(208). If the first facsimile data is not in the forwarding standby state, the first and second facsimile data are forwarded after the second facsimile data is completely received(210).
