What do you like best about eFax Online Fax Service?

I can always rely on eFax online when it comes to my business. I fax to the IRS on a regular basis and usually while I have a agent live on the phone. Efax has always been so reliable and easy to use, with follow up emails that are sent to you. The website is easy to use and eFax online makes my job a whole lot easier. Customer support has always been wonderful since I have used eFax for over a year now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eFax Online Fax Service?

I honestly have no downsides to eFax. If there are any, I can't find them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eFax Online Fax Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

eFax assists me effectively send the IRS documents they are waiting for in that moment for verification purposes. Without them being able to receive the faxed documents, I would not be able to call on behalf of clients to assist them with their IRS issues. eFax also saves me money by using the online tool istead of a hard fax machine.

What do you like best about eFax Online Fax Service?

Setting up is so easy. You just make an account and a fax number number is assigned to you. The interface is user-friendly and everything is laid out for you. You upload the documents you want to send, fill in information about your recipient and voila, your fax is sent. I also appreciate the variety of subscription plans offered and the ability to cancel at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eFax Online Fax Service?

If you are faxing large documents, you will be charged an additional amount that isn't disclosed on the subscription pages, but somewhere in the terms and conditions. This can make faxing with eFax more expensive than other services. Additionally, there is no feature to show you that a fax is pending, only a temporary pop-up that tells you it was sent. This can be a nuisance if you're sending multiple faxes or those with large documents and want an email confirmation or somewhere on the homepage showing you the status of your faxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eFax Online Fax Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to send fax documents that need to be HIPAA compliant because they contain PHI. There is no other way to efficiently send over 200+ pages worth of content so I appreciate the ease of just doing online faxing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eFax Online Fax Service?

eFax is easy to find and relatively easy to use. I've never experienced downtime, or had a need for customer support, and the number of features supported in sending faxes, such as coverage modifications and address books, makes it well worth the price in my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eFax Online Fax Service?

I'm not fond of the old version/new version offering. I'd rather just stick with one or the other and have that supported. Sometimes, whether or not a +1 (or any country code, really) is required for the fax to send successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eFax Online Fax Service?

Absolutely nothing. Possibly my worst online experience ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eFax Online Fax Service?

I needed to send a single page to the IRS by fax but had to be on the phone with the IRS rep when I sent it to receive a document faxed back. Time was of the essence so I couldn't do any research on who I was using and used the first fax service listed on Google. I signed up with eFax for a $5 introductory offer that allows 170 pages to be sent and recieved. I only need to use 2 of those pages, 1 to send, 1 to receive, I thought. I was wrong. I attempted to send 3 times but it never went through. Then my banking app started popping up with repeated $10 charges. I checked my banking app, and had been billed twice for the $5 subscription and and additional $10 each time I went over my plans limit. I contacted their support and was told I'd exceeded my limit by 272 pages. I DIDN'T SUCCESSFULLY SEND OR RECEIVE A SINGLE PAGE. I requested a refund, minus the $5 initial charge which I will write off under "being an idiot fees." The request has supposedly been sent for approval and i will hear back in 3 to 15 days. I seriously hope nobody ever has to deal with these people again. TOTAL SCAM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eFax Online Fax Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solved no problems, because it didn't work. However it did cause problems, with my bank account through repeated charges, as well as the IRS who I was attempting to fax documents to. THANKS ASSHOLES. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mohd Qutifan of eFax Online Fax Service

Hello Paul,

This is certainly not something you should have experienced and we apologize for the inconvenience.

We understand that you needed to send a 1 page fax while speaking with the IRS live, and was unable to.

When sending faxes, composing your document in an efficient manner is of grave importance since transmission time (duration) depends on how you compose your document.

For example, if you scanned your document in black and white at 200 DPI and scanned the same document at 300 DPI in color, both files will have varying sizes, thus one will take longer to transmit; same applies if you fax a photo of a document (photos are much larger and take too much tome to transmit).

As for the reason you were charged overages is because our system bills for excessive duration as well; each 60 seconds of duration counts as a page.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to our 24/7 Phone support to resolve all of the issues you are experiencing.

What do you like best about eFax Online Fax Service?

E-fax is an easy way to incorporate the ability to fax and receive documents without the hassle of a fax machine in your office. It also enables you to receive your faxes on your smart phone while you are on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eFax Online Fax Service?

Sending a fax is a bit of an arduous process and after a recent update, my faxes were not being sent despite receiving notifications that they were. We did not realize this for a few weeks but after an hour working with customer service the problem was resolved. Really wish we would have been made aware of the known issue via email or phone call so we could have fixed the problem before weeks of missed sent and received faxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eFax Online Fax Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

They solved my recent issue of faxes not going out after they had done a program update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eFax Online Fax Service?

No matter where I am, be it the office or at home, I can check all my faxes, and send a new fax to any of our offices. Integration of our fax lines and customer fax lines was easy and simple. Our employees use it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eFax Online Fax Service?

If a fax doesn't send, or there is an error on the line, there is no easy way to resend the same fax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eFax Online Fax Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

We lost our main fax line from our phone company, so efax was our answer. It is actually great! Faxes being emailed to us as PDFs has simplified the receiving and distirbution of faxes to our home office employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eFax Online Fax Service?

I love eFax because my clients can send me a fax their normal way and I get all my faxes in PDF in my email so I don't need a landline to receive faxes any longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eFax Online Fax Service?

The only downside I would have to say is knowing when additional charges will be done. I think if you are close to your limit of the subscription you have then maybe a reminder email goes out to say you are at this currently or send an email with the additional charges. One month I had multiple charges on my statement and I didn't know why and I sent an email which they responded quickly to and let me know that I went over one month. Being a bookkeeper I like to know what is coming out of my account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
