DO NOT SIGN UP for this service!! After the 30 day trial, they start charging and it is IMPOSSIBLE to cancel. You cannot cancel online or any other way. I talked to people and I chatted online but it was impossible. I cancelled my credit card and still it was charged to my new card. (My credit card company said that if they have the 3 digit code on the back, they can push it through.) Now I've filed a dispute with my credit card company and I hope that will work.
At $9.95 per month, I feel that RapidFax's individual and small business plan is a competitively priced internet fax service option. They offer a thirty day trial period which includes 300 total pages. Unlike other internet fax services that set an allotted number for incoming and outgoing pages, RapidFax combines the two to give their users more flexibility in how they spend their minutes. They also DO NOT charge a setup fee for their service. Faxes can only be sent to two email addresses which has not been a problem for me.
We started working with IDT in 2016. They tout serving over 32 billion minutes annually and 4 route divisions to choose from. The route divisions are irrelevant however, here I will explain why: The level of service/quality you *actually* receive depends on how greedy your Account Manager is, and the genie behind the curtain that changes up the routes to accommodate their desired margins. The end result of course is route instability and frequent calls to your support desk from angry customers reporting issues ranging from False Answer Service to calls not completing to legitimate destinations and wondering why they are paying for Platinum service only to receive problems typically associated with Silver-grade routes. With IDT we'd literally pass weeks at a time without issues, and suddenly a range of issues with many different destinations arise at the same time. We submit the ticket and the issue would eventually be resolved, but only after waiting > 24 hours for a response. In the IDT Express portal you are able to select which routing division, but in the end IDT simply does not honor your selection, and will route your traffic over the routes they choose behind the scene. It's really a pointless set up they offer. Go with Tata, NTT or BT if your customers' satisfaction is paramount.
