Nextiva Conclusion

Nextiva’s virtual fax product is an incredible value for those willing to pay annually to benefit from the industry low effective monthly rate of $7.95 ($95.40 per year) for 500 monthly sent or received pages. This pricing is pretty compelling considering that they also offer prorated refunds for annual plans cancelled early. The company has also added four additional servers to ensure that the service experiences minimal outages. Nextiva’s customer support was both knowledgeable and responsive.

Nextiva’s month-to-month fee is $9.95, but the effective monthly rate is only $7.95 if you prepay for the annual plan, and the company doesn’t have any startup or hidden fees. The plan that we reviewed includes 500 free combined incoming and outgoing pages per month, which is more than our Market Standard of 300 free combined pages per month.

Sending a fax through Nextiva’s online interface is very easy. Faxing requires only five clicks and filling out one field. You can also preview your fax before you send it. Nextiva lets you fax an unlimited number of documents at one time. You can send to a maximum of five recipients per fax. While you are allowed only one email address to send faxes, you can select up to five addresses to receive faxes. Nextiva allows you to store an unlimited number of faxes online for six months. This is much longer than our Market Standard of 30 days.

Nextiva offers local fax numbers in 48 states along with British Columbia and Ontario. Nextiva offers (866) and (877) numbers for a one-time fee of $9.95, but it does not offer (800) numbers. Phone customer support is available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. MST. We found its customer support to be responsive and knowledgeable.
