customer service - slow, ineffective and sly
brianp65May 31, 2013
Pros
cheap - when it works
Cons
customer service close your tickets when they can't or don't want to deal with it. customer service very slow to reply. very messy software. cannot delete past fax numbers used and customer service could not care less.
Summary
if someone knows of a better pay as you use option, please let me know!
Does not work properly anymore.
MarhermanJanuary 23, 2013
Pros
Used to work fine in the past.
Cons
Fax sent was blank. They don't allow customers to preview a file before sending it. I've uploaded my pdf files in the right size and format and after the fax was sent I noticed that all pages except the cover letter were blank. There is no phone number to contact customer care, you can only send an email and wait until they decide to reply.
Summary
excellent for person to person faxing but...
lg8302chDecember 21, 2012
Pros
love the program and it works great for faxing to private home numbers here in Switzerland or to US numbers of any kind. see cons
Cons
unfortunately I need a fax program to send faxes to Swiss companies and 99% of the numbers for businesses start with 0848 or 0844 here. This is what makes PamFax useless because all Swiss numbers starting +41 84x are in the category 7 "special numbers" and get charged at 5USD per page! Just for info. These are the standard numbers for companies here in Switzerland and get charged at national standard phone rates nationwide. But for PamFax the go into extra high rates.
Summary
person to person fax on home numbers - PERFECT, person to company number in the US - PERFECT but watch out for faxing to any company in Switzerland. 99% use the area code +41 84x and this is when it gets ugly. Can use it to fax to US companies but for domestic use here impossible as I did not find any fax recipient NOT having a +41 84x number. These are assigned to companies here.
Works as advertised with German efficiency.

Pros
This has been very useful for sending faxes to europe for very competitive rates. More secure than email. Skype integration (optional). You can also fax directly from your browser via their site; you do not need to downoad anything to open a account.
Cons
I guess the user interface is not the most elegant in the world.
Summary
very slow program, not working
avikamczJuly 5, 2012
Pros
The idea..
Cons
The execute. Faxed has not being sent, there is no refund for failed faxes but the always fail..
Summary
Dishonest and unreliable company, stay away
jcnetlDecember 13, 2011
Pros
Seem fast and stable at 3 free trial pages
Cons
1. 50% fail rate after sign on. No free resend. 2.Sneakily charge me extra without explanation. Check your balance to make sure you are not over charged.
Summary
1. Fail rate 50%. I send 4 times, 2 times failed. 2. I used fax on demand that is supposed to cost 12 cents a page but Pamfax sneakily added 1 cent or 2 here and there. I used one times 2 pages for 25 cents, and 3 pages for 37 cents. According to the charges, I supposed to be charged for 62 cents but I actually got charged for 74 cents which is about 15 cents a page. Even when I didn't use the fax last night, my balance was shrinked for another 2 cents for no reason. I am disgusted by their unprofessional and dishonest act. I file complain ticket but hasn't gotten any help but shrinking balance.
"Stay Away from Pamfax"
JuanchezDecember 6, 2011
Pros
I was able to send 1 fax
Cons
I contracted PamFax service and used it once. After a while, I got an email saying I needed to put more money or the account would be closed. Pamfax stated that I would get a refund for unused balance. Once I requested it they said my account didn't exist. They claimed I cancelled the account before requesting the refund which I didn't and that is why they have no record of my account. I sent them all the emails they sent me along with all receipts I had. How can they have no records of my account? What happened with their accounting records? This has been going back and forth for weeks and it has been a terrible experience with no resolution.
Summary
stay away from this company
zoutoshi2November 20, 2011
Pros
it seemed price is good.
Cons
lots of bug fax number is not possible to use. they kept ignoring my complain ticket. worst customer service ever. they charge it and but i cannot use fax number.
Summary
i bought standard service. they send invoice and charged my credit card. but i could not use this fax number. they kept ignoring my email. i had issued support tickets 3-4 times. they must have received my claim because they issued tickets. it's better to stay away from this company. i don't recommend this company at all. they have worst customer service.
Don't buy this product - I fell for it and I regret it.

Pros
What they offer sounds good.
Cons
1. Faxes seem to take ages to be sent 2. Faxes seem to take ages to be received 3. Customer support seems to take ages to answer a ticket.
Summary
Stay away for now. Perhaps they'll improve in the future. At this point, (July 4 2011), it doesn't solve the problem of receiving and sending faxes. I got the Basic Plan. Lost my money.
don't buy this! unsafe
hamsterchiaMay 14, 2011
Pros
none. They are untrustworthy
Cons
They disclose your personal info to third party spam sites. I
Summary
UNSAFE, unethical. Be very careful. I'm afraid the files I sent over, which may have contained personal info is now lost in cyberspace.
