They are extremely difficult to get in touch with - took me several days to even figure out how to talk to a representative. Upon actually speaking to someone, they refused to cancel our account and refund for the remainder of the year - even though the subscription had only been renewed for a few days (without consent - they just charge your credit card without prior notice). Definitely a mistake to be involved with eFax - it honestly just feels like a scam.

I have asked via email and phone call for my account to be cancelled. I was told by the customer service agent that he would cancel my account. 4 months later, I still get bills from them. I just send yet another email telling them to close my account. My next step is to file a complaint with the FCC. I want to give them zero stars but that is not an option on this site.

It totally sucked
December 13, 2013

It totally sucked. I signed up for free 30 day trial. Fax would not go through. Tech support was rude and was on the phone for 1 plus hours trying to get fax to go. He had me fax from every browser possible saying it was browser prob. Ea had same effect - nothing. Obviously not browser. Then they billed my account twice for all the faxes their tech support had me try. Bounced my account. Called to complain. Said they would fix it - twice, but nothing was fixed. Ever. Incompetent tech support and customer service did not follow up as promised. Totally disappointed in their service. Would not recommend to anyone.!

Customer service stinks
October 29, 2013

Customer service stinks. They are hard to get in touch with. They charged much more than expected after the initial trial, and refused any refund. I'm very frustrated with them and would not recommend them.

No way to cancel online, emails get ignored and they keep charging my credit card. EFax is really really annoying and cheeky. I wanted to cancel my account but there is no option in the member area so I wrote several emails, which all got ignored. Apparently they want to make you call their customer service department which is illegal in Europe. Stay away from those scammers!

Do not recommend at all. I had a free number for over 10 years and was receiving faxes periodically. I just received an email last week, telling me I have a new account and phone number. So I thought it was a fraud and close it. I tried logging in to my old account and received and error. I contacted efax and told me they gave my fax number to another person and opened me a new one without telling me or consent. Now some stranger is getting my new faxes and I have to call everyone from a 10-year period and tell them don't use the fa number. I will never purchase anything from this company. Do not recommend at all!

Hello Jovonne B.,

We no longer offer the eFax free service. As a courtesy, your account has been grandfathered but as per our customer agreement, the service can be closed at any time as it is a free service. The number was recalled by our carrier and would not have been reassigned to a new user as number s must remain inactive for a minimum of 90 days before being reactivated on a new account for security reasons. When your numebr was recalled and in order to ensure that your eFax free service ( for receiving) remained active, a new fax numver was assigned to you. Should you have further questions, please feel free to message the Social Team at socislsupport@efax.com.

Many Thanks,
EFax Support Team

You can try to cancel after the service does not work but they will continue to bill you. Any company that is completely non-refundable or will not pro-rate a monthly fee for services not used are scam artists.

The support service was very active for giving me back up to solve my issue and explain me how it works. I finally could send my fax simply through my email address and got notification once it successfully sent. Thanks again to Paul his help.

If you need a fax solution, they are a good bet. Reliable service, fax numbers in every city, and in/outbound faxes directly from your PC. I've heard there can be problems cancelling service, but I haven't had to do that yet.

Hi, I was also using efax before, but after getting these scam letters, i decided to move to Popfax online fax, and I am pretty happy with them. I have never gotten any scams, or fake emails. They seem to be very professional.

Great Customer Service
September 27, 2020

Professional & Courteous customer svc. Over my dozen or so years in owner-managed business, I only needed a fax occasionally to meet my client's needs. I used eFax and never had any issues... used them for all of business-related fax needs. I recently retired and cancelled the service and it was painless and hassle free cancellation process. I recommend these folks for those companies that need fax service but don't want the trouble of maintain a fax line on a dedicated fax or printer.

I used efax for years to receive faxes-free by the way-and never had a problem. Later I started a home business and needed to fax out so I upgraded to be able to send faxes through e-fax and it went well. The fax software/interface is not so user friendly (thus the 4 stars) but other than that it was solid and when I wanted to cancel, I called & cancelled with no issues. I stopped using them in 2013 when I closed my home business and it is now 2015 so I'm not sure if the service has changed, but when I used it it was a solid go to for sending and receiving faxes through my computer.

Excellent service
October 28, 2020

I needed to get an urgent fax to the USA sent from the UK. This was accomplished with relative ease by the support team which was thoughtful and professional. Unfortunately for efax, I do not require fax facility more than a few times a year at most. Therefore I cancelled my account during the trial period and payment to efax was not required. However, to show my appreciation for the excellent help I received, I made a modest donation to efax for their very professional service.

I recently signed up for this service as I needed to send a fax but had some difficulties sending the fas, I think I missed a step, so I gave them a call. The advisor was so nice and helpful! Walked me through the steps and even stayed on the line with me until I received my confirmation that the fax was sent successfully. What a genius service, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to send faxes!

Thanks!

Have used fax for a while but decided I didn't need it anymore. So I emailed to cancel it. Not expecting too much as is my previous experience, John B responded immediately and promptly cancelled my subscription. It was a great surprise to get the care and attention from a customer service representative when cancelling, so thank you John B for making it a pleasant and respectful experience.

Scam
August 27, 2020

I opened an account with this company last month. Without notice it was suspended and they took my money out of my bank account without providing the service I signed up for. I called Customer support who told me that if I wanted to reactivate my account, I would have to provide them a copy of my bank statement along with a copy of my debit card. Reference numbers ******* and *******. This is not an ethical company. Do not use.

Hello Ena,

This is most definitely not the impression we want you to have. As was mentioned by our Social Team, our billing department needed to verify account and billing details for security purposes. If you can kindly email us back at socialsupport@efax.com we can resolve this matter for you immediately.

Many Thanks,
