Hidden charges and poor UI
You can't see when faxes are in progress so you don't know if they failed or even were initiated. You get charged per second that it takes to send the faxes and you don't know what the charge is until after it goes through or fails. You get charged per page and second regardless of if it fails or goes through. There's no leniency on this and this is NOT explained properly in the sign up emails (they only bring it up at the agreement linked to at the bottom of the home page and even this doesn't fully explain it). There are plenty of other services with much less shady practices and much better UI

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you've experienced. We understand your concern regarding the visibility of fax progress and the associated charges. our system does not display real-time progress updates while a fax is in transmission. However, if a fax fails, you will typically be notified within 30 seconds of the attempt. If the fax is successfully delivered, a confirmation email will be sent to the address on file. Regarding billing, our system calculates charges based on both the number of pages and the transmission time with 60 seconds of transmission time counted as one page for billing purposes. Should you require further assistance, please feel free to message us at [email protected] and we would be happy to assist! Many Thanks, eFax Support Team ^MQ
