no West Virginia area code

Post by goonierag »

Was listening to the podcast at computer america listening to Dan talk. He said in the interview they had registered in all 50 America states. Well I'm going to get a magicjack but at same time see they don't have West Virginias only area code. 304 for the whole state. Why say you have a contract in all fifty states if you don't have at least one area code in each. If they do have 304 in the area codes then I apologize and admit I was wrong. Don't have a majicjack yet.

If I understand the strategy correctly, MagicJack/ YMAX Communications is registered in all 50 states in order to be able to terminate calls to their end users. Whoever terminates the call (connects the person calling with the person being called) collects a fee from the company initiating the call. If the find me feature every is implemented, you could have your call redirected to almost any number in any state. Since there's money to be made, they've registered YMAX in all 50 states.

If I am wrong, someone feel free to correct me. :)

from what goonierag has said it sounds like they need area codes in all states.

Does West Virginia have phones now? Or still using the ones with cranks on the side? :)

There are no Wisconsin Area Codes either..MJ was going by Population sizes of cities. the top 30 was supposed to get the area codes. Milwaukee is Number 26 , or somewhere near there in population size, that Dan was saying was going to get the new Area codes last Aug. Yet.. here is WI.. no area codes
