Worst Faxmail service EVER

I have an account with MWEB - SOLELY to use as a fax to email account. I'm paying for a 5GB capped internet line, apparently this must be the case as this must be done in order to have an account (which I NEVER use), and in turn to be able to subscribe to MWEB's Faxmail service. (according to customer support, account department as well as technical department)

Now, I hardly ever use this faxmail feature - because, really, whom still uses faxes?

However, every now and again I do have a need for this function.

BUT EVERY TIME I WANT TO USE THE ACCOUNT - PERHAPS ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS - THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ACCOUNT BEING DEACTIVATED!

NOW, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE - I'm still not able to send any freaking faxes anyway - because your MWEB My Account - My services website is CONSTANTLY kicking me out with a message stating the session has expired - or an error has occurred. (I have tried using two different laptops - as well as two different internet browsers on each laptop - all with the same result.) So I'm not able to make any changes to fax sending settings.

Phoning technical support - all I get is - "You must speak with account/billing" speaking with accounts/billing - all they say is - "Okay, I've re-activated your account - happy hunting."

Now, I have 91 credits on the account to send faxes with - since the last time I've used it. HOWEVER AGAIN - I cannot make any changes on the faxmail profile in order to change the settings on which address I'm sending faxes from - as well as resetting the fax pin.

Even trying to send the fax using the 'My email' option - and logging into my mweb webmail profile - the faxes are still not delivered.

Trying to send a fax from the address that is currently the "sending" address for the faxmail service - this does not work either!!!!! None of the details are allowing me to send any faxes.

This is nonsense - the WORST faxmail service I have EVER had the misfortune of having to work with.

I'm so frustrated - two days I've been struggling with this, pathetic.

Hi MWEB I'd like to formally thank you for arranging with your 1st tier support to work on my complaint as above on Thursday and Friday last week. After some work their side, we were able to send test faxes again as normal and they were successful. HOWEVER - On trying to send faxes on Saturday (28 July 2018) NONE OF THE FAXES WENT THROUGH! AGAIN! AND - I'm still getting that "system error" message when trying to access the "Faxmail" page under they MWEB My Account website.. Every now and again - by some miracle - I do get to the "faxmail" site, and I can see that NO Fax charges were taken of the faxmail feature. It's still on 91.7 units as it was when we began this whole escapade. This is utterly unacceptable. The reason I pay for your fax service - every month is because I'm currently working in a very rural area (Construction) and there are no fixed landlines available. I needed to send 7 or 8 faxes on Saturday - AND THEY ALL FAILED!!!! I used the "My email" site to send the faxes -- and I made sure I was doing it exactly as I did with the test faxes on Friday. Sending faxes - I received the confirmation message that the faxes were "sent" (In the Zimbra website when sending faxes) However no proof of faxes either. THE FAXES I HAD TO SEND WAS FOR CAREER APPLICATIONS! ALL OF WHICH ARE ON 72 HOUR DEADLINES - SO IT'S NOW TOO LATE TO RE-SEND THE FAXES - AND I'VE LOST OUT ON ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES. Thank you MWEB - you've just ensured that I'll NOT get any of the careers I app**** for. Greatly appreciated. Please call me and fix this (again) asap. Regards Johan
