1 Hour Cut Off

Post by gashliquor »

These people at MagicJack support don't know nothing about this 1hr cut off. I mean Dan made a mint and if your telling me he did'nt your just as bad as he is. This one hour cut off limit is so lame that those that purchased a few years of service etc you better really enjoy it. The servers are getting that much traffic then that means the cash flow is good. Buy more servers and equipment to handle the load. Or when they do TV ad's say "one hour talk time limit per call". It's real nice to tell someone your talking too hey im at 59 mins and one more min and we will get disconnected and i will have to call you back. Where is Dan's mind at?. If this move is to make money then Damn Dan is the worst business man and that shamwow fool on TV will make billions with his rags!. HAPPY NEW YEAR. :roll:

This is no big deal. It happened to me and I called back for another 45 minutes of calling. I'd rather do a simple task as that then pay a landline their $'s forty times over a month in not doing it.

I agree. I can live with the hour limit they've imposed much easier than I could the 30 minute. Sure, it's inconvenient for phone sex, but it gets the job done cheaper than it costs paying long distance.

Any of you old enough to remember pay phones?

They beeped when they needed to be fed more money.

There are two things that really upset me with this cutoff:
1) They aren't admitting it
2) There is no warning

Did it cutoff at 60 minutes, or is my line dead? How do I know? Do I need to worry? Does the patient receiving counseling at the other end need to worry? Are they going to call me back while I'm calling them back, so neither of us can get through?

Saying "no big deal" isn't enough for me.

Cutoff is 119 minutes currently as shown below. That came from a dump of magicjack while it was running. The value is in seconds.

[MagicJackOptions.CallDurationControl]
MaxOutboundCallDuration=7140

7140/60 = 119 minutes

Absolutely correct - calls time out at 1 hour & 59 minutes. For my purposes, I can live with that.
