magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

My problem is the "if available" issue. I might be ok with paying for it, but they don't even give me the option.

rachmar,

Thanks for trying, but your link doesn't help me. Clicking your link, logging in opens the Account tab. Clicking the Call Features tab opens the same page I scanned and posted at the beginning of this thread, which doesn't offer Call Forwarding.

Maybe it will help others.

spc,

Tried that without luck. . .

Wish I could take a poll:

Of those that are still able to access CF, do you:

1. Have ported a landline number to MJ
2. Using MJ standard or MJ+

I suspect the fact I've ported my landline number is prohibiting my access to CallForwarding.

I'm so jealous. When I use that link it automatically rolls to:

https://web08.magicjack.com/my/account.html

after loging in there's no CF option.

nailgunner,

My 3rd post above shows a screenshot of the page I get. You might be right that because you've got CF already setup, it still works for you.

I like what I see about the GVJack App except that GV won't allow porting of a landline number. If it did, I'd be there.

cell14, I think the service is probably still worth the money. But maybe we should be more concerned they may be put out of business by a class action (which could easily win) showing they intentionally advertize a service that isn't provided.

Guess that would only be an inconvenience requiring all ...

Maybe because mine's a new mj+? Or because I've got a ported number?

Thanks for trying spc, but all I get after loging in using your link is:



No link to a Call Forwarding feature.

Very interesting comment, cell14. Obvious why you have 552 posts.

Call forwarding no longer works (for me) and is not an option on my Call Features page. But their add says:



Isn't this fraud?

Appears to be back . . . . for now.

It's 11:45 am (EDT) 09-26-2012 and I'm getting:

"magicJack was unable to contact our registration server.

The above mentioned link no longer works and CF is no longer shown as a Call Feature.

Any news?

Another thought - I see the MJ included ac/usb adaptor has a 1 amp output. That, I believe is much higher than the typical cpu usb output.

Why not substitute an adaptor that has a lower current output, like .5 amp? Wouldn't that reduce the heat being generated?

I'll see if I can find one and try ...

Using the short usb extension seemed to be a good idea so I had tried it and it doesn't really cool it down much. I've got it plugged into a quality ups, for what it's worth.

Thanks for the input. JC

Does tech svcs read and contribute to these posts? My MJ+, when plugged to power outlet vs computer also gets VERY hot. This has got to affect it's reliable function and shorten it's life.

Only had mine a few days and might cancel for refund rather than take a chance on premature failure due to ...
