Spam city. Get calls every day. Ask to be removed- ignored. Has to be laws regarding this sort of daily harrassment.

PREPAID A YEAR, GOT ROBBED

Paid for my account, took 3 phone calls, lots of confusion Went ahead and paid for a whole year to get a better deal. Then, sent 1 fax, and received no confirmation. Tried again, no conformation. An hour later, after still receiving no confirmations, tried 2 more times.
An hour later received 4 email (for the 4 attempts) saying that the fax ‘failed’.
Tried to fax again but the software didn’t work at all.
Called to find out why only to find out my account was suspended for trying to send too many faxes (they said over 400 pages). I only sent 1 page to the unemployment insurance office to collect on my unemployment.
They did not want to refund anything.
And, they charged an extra $10 for no good reason which they did not tell me about ($129.50+$10.00). $10.00 for what?
I’ve owned my own PC since the 80’s and have never seen anything this abysmal.

Customer Service

On discovering we had an ongoing payment to J2 for a service we no longer use, I contacted them to cancel this. Simona quickly came back, located our details & actioned the cancelation. Most impressed with her Customer Service Skills.

I've been a customer for over 10 years…

I've been a customer for over 10 years and I've never questioned this company however in October last year I switched to a new provider and I needed my two virtual number which I purchased from J2 to be released and ported across to the new provider.

Many months have passed since I made this request and there have been over 80 emails between myself, the new provider and J2 to try and get the two number ported.

As I'm writing this email J2 are still asking me to be patient and trying to understand why this has not happened yet and please bear in mind that this is a paid service.

I've been in contact with Sr. Customer Service Manager l j2 Global® Denis Keogh for months and I've asked to speak with his superior Scott Wilson but I keep getting excuses as why he doesn't speak with customers.

So I'm at a point where my only option is to let things take their course and to keep pushing J2 but at the same time to recognise that J2 have caused significant delays resulting in duplicated telecom cost and objective now is to recover these costs either through agreement with J2 legal department or through the small claims court.

Be warned J2 will not treat you well when or if you leave them.

Thanks for your review and much apologies also for the late reply responding.

There is no way to cancel your account online or via email so phoned them. John B was really helpful, quick and true to his word. If I need a free phone number in the future I will definitely return.
