DO NOT USE - Deceptively Charges by the Minute, not by the Page!
Consensus Cloud Solutions, Inc, or eFax, advertises that they provide a 7 day free trial that allows up to 170 pages of faxes. However, after improperly being charged $10 for sending 85 pages before properly cancelling, I was told that eFax actually charges by the minute. This is not listed anywhere on their webpage. In fact, everything is referred to in minutes though they do try and brag about their speed that the system takes approximately 1 minute per page to fax. In reviewing everything on their site, no where does it track the minutes you are using - only the pages. There is no clock, there is no tallying of minutes the system used per fax. The e-mail confirmation only lists pages and a consumer would naturally believe that you are charged per page - that's what their terms and conditions actually say. There are numerous sites to use and this one would NOT be one to trust. This is a classic bait and switch and deceptive business practice as the more than 200 people who took time to complain to the BBB stress about the deceptive billing processes and their process of charging by the minute (not anywhere on their website) instead of pages (what their terms and conditions say). There is no way to know how many minutes you have or how long a FAX will take. To avoid being cheated, just skip this company.
