I kinda find this strange but ... if you can afford all these new iphones and the service for whatever it costs. Why even use magic jack?

I hear that straight talk is 45 bucks a month for unlimited everything and you can get the service to work on iphones.

Ah well...

Hmmmmm....

you cannot exceed 3000 minutes in a month so... that's 3000/60= 50 Hours / 30 days = 1.6 hours per day. How the heck can you NOT exceed that?

I guess I like to talk and could exceed 1.6 hours on the phone a day. Not every day but on the weekends sometimes I'll make up for it and spend 3 ...

google voice not ringing forward to MJ #.

Hmmm anyone else have this problem?? I set up GV to ring both my cell and MJ. At least I'll know who calls me ... Sheesh, Funny thing is, sometimes it will ring. I don't get a lot of calls but it's annoying to miss calls.

it doesn't cost them any more then having some digital lines in that area code. So, it's not MJ's fault. It's more likely the telephone line has the prefix mixed up or something. It's suppose to work. It's when MJ places a open ticket to who ever is servicing the digital trunks. It takes time for it ...

Well, at least they didn't change your phone number. I really don't know what's worse.

Maybe buying one of those TK6000 might be a good test run to see if it's any better. Maybe better customer service.

Let me look into it. Is it all games or specific games?

It's all games...

Not hard to test this. Just try any game you want... then pick up your phone and turn it on you'll see your game go to the desktop soon after.

Worthless for me. I use to use the DO NOT DISTURB but they took that ...
