This is by far the best fax service I have two lines for my customers one for cleveland and one for columbus. The voicemail part works perfect the fax service even better. I have had these lines for over one year without one single failure (except the human kind) example if somebody faxes upside down you get blank pages on your PDF or TIFF. Another neat feature it emails or alerts you with 5 locations with pager alert or complete with attachments. and the price 7.95 per month you cant get a basic phone line much less cartriges ect A++++++++

Yes it is cheap. However, it is certainly not the most reliable service. It is down again today stopping me from sending an urgent fax! Just make sure you always have a backup fax machine ready.

We signed up for maxemail Lite 20 months ago. Hard to beat ad-free, uncrippled incoming fax and voicemail at $15/year. No complaints. We like it.

"Guest" questions its reliability. We haven't noticed any problems or delays, but then again, we've never used it to send faxes. If Guest is correct, it may be that there have been occasional problems sending faxes, but that they don't affect receipt of incoming fax and voice messages, which in our experience has been flawless.

THIS IS IT! This is the highest quality image I've seen on a fax to email service! I've tried EFAX (good image quality, bad service & pricing), Faxaway (good pricing, bad image quality), but MaxEmail has GREAT image quality and GREAT pricing!

At $15 year for 500 pages a month, you're not going to find a better deal. Not to mention, the background for the guys running this is imaging/scanning, so the fax image quality is 5 times better than eFax and 50 times better than Faxaway in my opinion.

I've been disappointed with the other service providers I've used to the point that I was going back to a physical fax machine. This company has changed my mind!

Don't take me word for it, sign up for their 30 day free trial and see for yourself!

I tried Maxemail and I was impressed by the quality of the faxes. Very nice! The reason I didn't opt to stay with this fax service is that they didn't have toll-free fax numbers. I was looking for a number that anyone in the U.S. can send to with no long distance charge.

Newbie,

We have every fax to email area code in the United States [and most countries around the world]

email us at sales.de@venali.com and we will help you get set up.

Happy Faxing,
Venali

Venali:

I see that I have a choice of two toll-free prefixes and one for my state. If I choose the one for my state, only people in the area can fax, is that not true? If I want to have the whole state be able to reach my fax, I would think a toll-free is in order.

I somehow overlooked that toll-free was available. Wow, maybe a reconsideration of this service is needed.

Newbie

Venali:

Clarification on the previous post. Darn that we can't edit our post.

A prefix for the whole state allows a person to reach you by fax, but for most it would be a long distance call. That is what I am concerned with.

Newbie

Venali:

I was using the Trial Version and didn't realize the toll-free choice was only after you sign up for the Plus upgrade.

Newbie

Can anyone tell me if there is a file size limit for individual faxes that a person is constrained to?

Newbie

I am a loyal MaxEmail user for my business. All I can say is, I think they're great. It's never let me down on a voicemail or fax so far. Highly reliable, very cost-effective. The only thing that irks me is that they don't have a call-forwarding capability (so that phone calls to my Maxemail number are forwarded to my office phone). If they had that feature, this service would be absolutely flawless.

I pay $70 a year for 200 voicemails/pages a month. I added the caller ID function for extra money, but it's been worth it to have a log of all incoming caller's phone numbers, just in case I need to call them back.

This thing has conventional physical fax machines, which tie up a phone line, utterly beat. I highly recommend it.

A profound thank you to all who posted here. You advised me of a choice I'd not have known about otherwise. Checked out the website, which is impressive, as well as the equally impressive plans. Just signed up!

Thanks again, y'all. I genuinely appreciate your time in passing on such valuable info, with details.

I just signed up for MaxEmail. Someone mentioned they did not have toll-free numbers. They had toll-free 866 numbers listed, plus about 150 other area codes.

I am not sure why having a local area code is such a big deal anymore. With the price of long distance these days, it is cheaper for me to call another state than it is to call outside my 5 mile calling radius. Maybe local pricing is different in other states.

Anyways, I like their service so far. My tests look really good. The faxes come through very fast (about 30 seconds after sending) and the image quality is fantastic. I have heard EFax is a good service too, but MaxEmail is over 50% cheaper if you pay for the year in advance.

Same service features, half the price = done deal for me.
