I’m very happy with my eFax to the point where I don’t know how I lived without it in the past :)

The overage and limits depend on which plan you have. The cheaper the plan, the higher the overage cost in heavy months. Mine runs $20 a month fairly consistently. Not sure which plan I have. The plan also determines the amount of “storage”.

I don’t know what HIPAA compliance is. When I email a contract to an agent, I also fax it to the agent’s “broker” office, as email to an agent is not delivery to “the broker” in my opinion. It’s a duplication, but one I’m comfortable with.

Overage charges is like having the right cell phone plan. If you have the wrong plan for your usage, the overage will kill you. I do wish they had “carry over” for unused amounts from month to month. Some months I use a lot, some months very little. I haven’t checked into it as the cost has not been an issue for me, as it has been well worth the cost to me, by far.

I thought that email receipt was not HIPAA compliant. Also, I read a couple of responses with concerns over overage charges. What type of throughput limits do you hvae with eFax? Is this a small business solution or does it also fit Mid-tier and Enterprise spaces? Does efax address HIPAA compliance? I thought that email receipt was not HIPAA compliant.

One problem is trying to find a file since it doesn't look like I get to name the file. I like the online storage, but retrieving a file is almost impossible. I have to keep opening them all and not that I have lots, that is very cumbersome. Also I bought the larger package and still got charged an extra $10 in the first month for usage. That surprised me. Greg,

I'm still not totally happy with my eFax, but I think it's because I need a desktop scanner vs. my 3 in one fax, scanner, printer. It does help with my disc space problems a little, as the large files are held in my eFax account for two years, instead of in my laptop. But that's an age old problem I think I need to solve with suggestions from another post. I haven't had any problems since i wrote that post months ago, but since I started using eFax...disc problems again :( I'll have to cook dinner for all of my young guy friends and have a round table discussion to come to a concensus of how to fix ARDELL's tech issues :) Thanks Christian.

It's easy, its quick, and it's cheap! I only use it to receive faxes though. I use a landline and fax machine to send. You can send out, I just don't (old habit I guess). Cost's $1 a month, and has free incoming faxes. I use http://www.faxaway.com. It’s easy, its quick, and it’s cheap! I only use it to receive faxes though. I use a landline and fax machine to send.

It seems to change it's mind at whim as to whether to send it as a pdf or tiff file. So far I’m having trouble with eFax, so will likely try another of the suggestions.

It has worked great. The faxes come in pdf format. I have been able to get faxes and keep track of them. I used to use efax. At the time the had a their own way of encrypting the faxes. I couldn’t read them on just any computer. Also their rate increased so I changed. So far I have been happy with maxemail. I have used maxemail for about two years. It has worked great.
