Excellent service! Live chat helped me set up my account, and fax documents overseas right from my email, much faster and far less expensive than by post. Reliable and easy to use. Highly recommend.

We have used GoFax for years
We have used GoFax for years and they are so affordable for a small business. I cannot fault their service. They keep in regular contact regarding network outages, etc. We are now increasing our business with them and once again, I cannot fault the simplicity of service and the product offering for a small business. Thanks GoFax - Go Well!

GoFax was easy to set-up and use
GoFax was easy to set-up and use. I needed to fax tax documents to the US from NZ. GoFax did the trick. It took me less than 40 minutes from researching online fax software to getting my fax sent confirmations. 100 pages for A$15, highly recommended and great value, only problem now is what to do with remaining 96 pages!

Support was fabulous!
Joseph was a huge help in assisting me to learn how to navigate GoFax and use it to its maximum utility for me in my professional role. He also helped me to edit my Settings on GoFax to avoid unnecessary charges for Notification services I simply don't need. He was fabulous at walking me through step by step way using accessible language for an older generation user of these kinds of technologies!

Simple and highly recommended
When I needed to fax documents to the US, and with the demise of fax serviuces from Aust Post and Office Works, I used GoFax. Very simple, from my laptop, very economical. Highly recommended for occasional users like myself.

Amazing service
10 stars! Amazing service from Joseph! He called me and explained everything and guided me through the 4 simple steps, even hunted us a fax number closer to match what we needed. I can't speak highly enough of the service that was provided, he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with everything and what a simple process everything was!

Our account manager, along with their support team is phenomenal. GoFax allows us to leverage our pre-existing infrastructure and have worked alongside us to streamline our business solutions.

Excellent after sales assistance
I needed to provide documents to the IRS (USA) to secure a tax return. they woud only accept faxes or express courier mail. GoFax came to my rescue - easy to use (just like sending an email), low cost, and a confirmation receipt provided. Excellent after sales assistance too. highly recommeneded for all faxes.

Great, friendly service
Service on both days from Joseph was helpful and very prompt. Teams service was excellent as it gave Joseph an opportunity to try to replicate the problem I was having yesterday. Joseph also provided me with an alternative to send Faxes by using send.gofax.com.au. This made my bulk work quicker and less frustrating. Great work Joseph and GoFax company for following up with me in a timely manner.

Amazing service
Administation is easy - was able to create an email group, populate it, and then advertise that as the desitination for incoming faxes. The sender didn't know the difference! Furthermore, I was able to integrate into the scanning feature of the printer. All the user does is scan their page, creates a PDF and sends off the fax direct from the printer. The users love it and although we get plenty of messages about maintenance an updates, we have never had any problems using GoFax.

Quick, easy and worth doing
Joe was super helpful and his instructions were easy to understand and follow. He had the info at his fingertips and could recall my previous conversations with Natalie so that you didn't have to go through it all again. He knew his stuff with the telco's so the transition across would go smoother. Well worth the effort of changing over to GoFax.
