hello,
when I try and call my number I get the number not in service message
I can call out from my MJ with no problems just no one can call in, I have a washington state number and live just across the border in canada, was chatting with MJ for close to an hour last night and they can't seem to figure it out, they said they checked and the number is active, any one else with this issue?? |

wazup,
That is all to common, talk to magicjack chat and no answer. Then a little while later the problem is corrected.
I am sure they have to hand off Chats that they can't resolve to a higher level group, that fixes the problem and never notifies you "THE CUSTOMER". They just can't seem to get it thru their heads that you are the most important person in their world.
I am also glad you got it resolved, I don't know if their has been a spike in Valium consumption since the advent of "MagicJack Chat" but I am will to take bets that their has been. You being a seasoned Tech Chat chatee I am sure you know what I mean.
regards, |
