NEW Magic Jack Review (pics!)

With full on pictures of the packaging...how did PC Magazine approve this product when they haven't done a review on it? Hmmm maybe they'll release a review soon?

This gives more hope that it will happen...and soon.

Now, if only I can get a definite answer on porting my at&t landline to magic jack plus, that would be a god send to be able to keep my old number.

I , too, will buy a MJ Plus and want to "port' my present 5 year MJ number ( which was "ported' from my Verizon landline 3 months ago.)
Question is : Will my present MJ still work ? With a different number ? And, what's the costs ?

if we can transfer our current account and credit over to a new MJ+, then yes, I'll buy 1

Is that false advertising? Isn't Alaska part of the USA. It says free calling anywhere in US&Canada

I suppose it depends on what your definition of "sale" is, but $39.88 doesn't sound much of one.

It depends on your definition of "anywhere". You can call Alaska now. A few weeks ago I did some more test calls and one went through to some Alaska state department of something in the 907 area code. 2 subsequent ones didn't, so obviously it's not fixed, but something is going on.

I just tested a few more and got through on one, 907-465-3500. The recording said it was the Governor's office, oops. The Google listing said it was the "Alaska State Commission for Human Rights"

My personal opinion is that it's almost 100% likely that you will be able to transfer your current MJ number to the Plus. But since a year of service comes with the Plus, I think it's highly unlikely they will carryover any unused time from your old account to the Plus.

Yeah, but only because Todd & Sarah never got that "Alaskan Independence Party" off the ground.

Given the US economy that may have been a smart plan of theirs
