Overall Satisfaction with RingEX

We used RingEX for an e-fax solution for our entire organization. We handle escrow real estate closings, title insurance, and title abstracting. While much of our client and vendor communications are served by email and cloud systems; many still rely on facsimile for simple and secure communication. One key advantage of e-fax is making the documents directly available to our users as .pdf files which are ready for import into our cloud based management systems. It is also very useful to be able to send documents for fax delivery directly from our applications. In the end RingEX e-fax was a failure.
  • Apps for Mac, iOS, and other platforms
  • Consistent interface on various platforms
  • Consistent performance
  • Excellent availability
  • Reliability
  • We used multiple fax numbers - but couldn't differentiate between them in the apps
  • Faxes would show up in the 'Call Log' but not in 'Messages' - and were then not readable
  • Faxes frequently showed up garbled and unreadable
  • Faxes disappeared altogether
  • This was one of the most horrible choices that I have ever made
  • We lost our phone number after 20+ years of use
We switched to Verizon OneTalk. We could not depend on RingEX. Verizon has been far more responsive in attempting to resolve issues than RingEX. Neither can actually handle faxes, and those are now done through Cox Communications. Still trying to get our phone number back from RingEX.

No

Would you buy RingEX again?

No

There is no way to recommend a fax service that cannot dependably deliver incoming faxes from real world users. It isn't an overstatement that the majority of our faxes were lost, incomplete, or garbled. To make matters worse, after discontinuing our service, it appears that RingEX has inadvertently re-captured our fax number and doesn't seem to have a vehicle to restore it to us, causing our business fax line to be disconnected.

RingEX Support

I have tried chat, email, and telephone support. I have not been able to get any reponse whatsoever on resolving an issue where my telephone number (which we have had for over 20 years) released. We had discontinued service with RingEX and moved to another carrier. After about 1 week; the number was inadvertently transferred back to RingEX. It now reports as disconnected and they are not willing to resolve the issue.
