Follow me?

In the packaging:

it mentions "Free Follow Me" - does anyone know how to set that up?

Login to my.magicjack.com. There you can enter your details for call forwarding. Easy-peze.

Forwarding, yes. Follow me does not and, apparently, will never exist.

What do you think "follow me" is? If you want every device you own to ring, go checkout GrandCentral.

First of all, the only "follow me" thing I want to happen is the current CIA and FBI guys following me (and that's only because of that episode in 1973), and I still get paid by one, or the other.

What exactly do you mean by "follow me"? Between MagicJack and GrandCentral, you have the most complete "don't interrupt me when I don't want you to", but "follow me" accessible solution possible.

I think it means that you can set up the forwarding so that when someone calls your MJ number a regular phone line (POTS) of your choice will ring AND your MagicJack line connected to the MagicJack device will ALSO ring. I think whichever picks up first would get the call. If I'm not mistaken this feature in addition to the regular forwarding was on the my.magicjack.com portal when it was up briefly before the official public release. Then they took it off. I think they were working on it and ran into some problems so they scrubbed it at least for now.

Follow me is when you set up your account so that your first number will rig X number of times, then the call rolls on to your next set number for a set number of rings again, and so on.

SR had this, as do several other VOIP companies.

MJ promised this on their packaging and the inventor promised it in his first few initial interviews.

Apparently, they fount it to be too expensive to offer after all, and too expensive to redo all the packaging they had already had done as well, so they went ahead and started and continue to ship the MJ's with the incorrect info still printed on them.

If they ever do start hanging these in stores, it really would be false advertising of a feature that does not exist.

Oh I see what you're saying. Thanks drjekyl.
