magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

I may be stating the obvious, but can't you just follow CC procedure and "contest" the transaction? Pretty crummy if their website is setup to work that way.

No info but I'd bet a lot of users would like to hear more about this.

I don't agree with the policy of "non-transfer" of account time either, but checked it (on this forum) before my MagicJack Plus purchase. I followed other forum members advise and added my plus to my account, with the SAME phone number, then changed the number on my old one to a new number...all at ...

Just came up on my screen today...48 hour deal. I bought it, just one, with NO extra years.

...unless their "nominal fee" is yearly, like the fees are for special/novelty phone number they have.

I'd be interested in the software, if I'd still be allowed to use my hardware on the same number (for when i travel).The only other question I'd have would be where would you plug your phone in???

I canceled my home phone service today. I had a package plan with my Internet/Digital TV service, so canceling will save me about $12 a month. I've been "testing" MagicJack for the last several months, with no major issues. After canceling the other service today, I hooked MagicJack up to my house ...

I'm using Windows XP and am having the same problem. I tried to downgrade, but still can't find the file to import contacts.

I was not planning on renewing my MagicJack, but now I will! Been waiting for the number porting thing, but this will do. Can't believe it finally happened.

Stop your useless waiting and do what Idid and dump MJ for TK. With the NetTalk TK6000 (visit www.tk6000.com or www.nettalk.com ) you can either plug it into a computer's USB (for portability) or plug it directly into a router (for operation without a PC or ThinClient). The $100 cost covers you for ...

Yep, they updated the question and have taken "2009" out...looks like it's NOT coming anytime soon. I made the decision that I won't be renewing my account (or the other 3 my family have) after 2009; the porting issue is a deal breaker.

2012? That's when the world is ending and it will be to late!

Thanks for the info...just changed my account.

Nice write-up. I've was already using your method, but hadn't thought of the Auto-wakeup for the computer - Thanks!

Sorry if I wasn't clear...that's exactly what I meant. I will still use it for the next several months.

Just my opinion, but I would be willing to bet that none of the customer service reps have any more of an idea of what's going on with number porting than we do.

I'm waiting until January 1st before canceling my land-line number. If I end up doing that, the next thing I cancel will be Magic Jack ...

When it comes to "budget" voip like MJ and TK if your getting good results with one I would not try the other unless you had the money to spend. If MJ is working for you now I would hold off until your year of MJ is almost up and see if you want to renew. By that time there should be more info on ...

I bought a cheap Pentium4 on craigslist, for $60. Installed fresh OS hard wired it to the router and installed MagicJack. After I got it set up, I turned of the monitor and it just sits in the spare room. Works great.

joe123...guess what your saying is you really think MagicJack will having porting within the next 6 months? Really?

OK, all kidding aside, I'm going to hang on to my land-line until January and if MagicJack really does give us the ability to port to them, it will have been worth the wait (and the ...

I'm another that wants to keep my phone number until the "coming soon" happens, but I don't want to pay out the nose to keep it. This is the cheapest number-parking service I've found:

The only other option I've considered is T-Mobile pre-paid, which ...

I know this thread has not had a post in several months, but as the end of 2009 nears I have to wonder if we will see the number porting commence. I'm still paying a monthly phone bill, hanging on to my phone number, in the hopes that Magic Jack will allow porting soon.

If they would just announce ...
