DO NOT USE JIVE/Go to connect. They are the worst and then when you try and cancel it is a nightmare. I've literally called in 4 times to try and cancel and every time it goes to "resolutions" I go to a voicemail.
Trust me... DO NOT USE THESE GUYS.

JIVE FAX Problems Have no Live Tech Help!
I cannot agree with the other 20,000 users. I tried to get help on FAXing because all of a sudden my capability to FAX was DOA after the acquisition but alas there are no people to help and the Help Pages are useless to resolve deep technical issues. So I am searching for another low cost phone and fax supplier.

The app is pretty much useless
The app is pretty much useless. Frequently misses calls, kicks you off, you answer and cant hear anything, currently I cant call out.. I have internet connection and good cell service right now. I spent 3 hours on the phone with customer service one time and they ended with "yeah, i dunno, I wouldnt blame you if you switch companies."
Oh yeah and the messaging has never worked once in the year that we have had it.

If I could leave a 0 review for this…
If I could leave a 0 review for this company I would! Service has been nothing short of horrible. I own 3 companies and switched from a previous service to Jive on the premisis of better support and better service. I have down time atleast 1-2 times every week for a minimum of an hour, when you try to connect to a rep you get told there is nothing that can be done just wait till it gets better. While Jive transitioned over to a larger company Logmein the service got even worse!! I would suggest that if you are here leave and if you try make sure they do not bill you for 8k out of the blue like they did to my company with out consent.

Jive Refuses to Respond to a Paying Customers. They Ignore Us, Despite Billing Us.
Contacting anyone at billing has proved to be so impossible that my last resort has been to file a complaint with the FCC.
My company ended up leaving after a multitude of hidden charges and refusals to lower our monthly bill after removing users from our account.
Previously with Onsip, and we were shopping for alternative VOIP providers that were less expensive. During the sales process with Jive, we shared our most recent OnSip bill with a Jive, and discussed our monthly usage. I was promised our bill would be less if we switched to Jive. What the salesperson failed to explain were the hidden fees and service charges. Their line item quotation conveniently left out a lot of monthly service fees that made our bill significantly higher than the quote.
To give Jive the benefit of the doubt, we kept using their service to give it a thorough test.
As more issues began to arise, such as charging us for international calls that were listed as counties included on our unlimited international calling program, and failing to remove users after we removed their accounts, the real trouble began.
My attempts to call the billing department cycled me through a recording telling me to leave a message after the tone, but instead of a tone, the recording repeated until the call timed out.
Jive refuses to answer any of my emails and support tickets requesting to correct these issues. I've been attempting to communicate with someone for two months, and they refuse to respond. I've contacted their support asking representatives to reach out to the billing department on my behalf. But those requests are always unfulfilled.
I am at a genuine loss as to how a company decides to abandon a paying customer completely and ignore every attempt to resolve simple billing issues.
I like to believe, behind most negative reviews, there is a disgruntled customer exaggerating claims to bolster support of their dislike for the said company. I genuinely welcome the response of a Jive representative who has an understanding of my attempts to resolve these issues, and Jive's decision to ignore a customer's multiple efforts to address this matter, despite continuously billing them.
I've since ported my numbers out of Jive, I've reached out to the FCC for support in getting this company to respond to me.
I urge caution to all business considering Jive or any service run by the LogMeIn Company. This behavior is unacceptable.
I am happy to update this review if I ever hear from Jive.
Update: 1/10/2019
Two days after posting this review, I received a message from an employee at the Resolutions department. From 11/29/2019 - 1/8/2019 we exchanged 22 emails. During the first week of emailing, the representative acknowledged Jive's numerous mistakes and informed me he would resolve them.
It took over a month to fix the issues after acknowledgment and updates informing me he is working with the billing department. During this time, I received multiple bills from Jive, which added to the confusion and frustration.
It took more than three months to close my account with this company, and was only accomplished after multiple efforts to get in contact with someone from this company, which included this bad review, an FCC complaint, Facebook messages, LinkedIn messages, phone calls, emails to corporate, and emails to all departments at Jive.com.
I continue to urge caution to anyone considering Jive Communications, or any other companies that are owned by LogMeIn Inc.

Sam -
This is certainly not the kind of experience we hope to provide. I've sent over a direct message to help gather additional information so a representative can reach out directly.
Worst customer service around
Worst customer service around. The time spent on hold and the multiple calls to follow up cost our company 10X the cost of the phone we were trying to order.

We'd like to make sure we're looking further into your account and provide resolutions to any outstanding issues. To help assist we will need some additional account information. I've sent a direct message within this platform to help further investigate.
I agreed to switch to Jive July 27
I agreed to switch to Jive July 27. As of this date September 21 my Jive system is still not in service. This has been caused by several issues both in and out of Jive's control. I requested to cancel the agreement as we have not had the system operational to determine if our issues were resoled by the Jive system.
I have had to purchase equipment since July which is not in operation. Jive refuses to cancel the agreement. Therefore I have expenses with no performance by Jive.
