everyone's MJ license now auto-renews by default

Post by robatino »

See

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r234095 ... om-anymore

Basically, at http://my.magicjack.com , there is now a well-hidden auto-renew setting which is on by default, and no one was notified. If you were planning to just let your license lapse, go there and turn the auto-renew off. Click on the word "Details" in "RENEWAL - Details" to see and change the setting.

It's also not clear whether the auto-renew is for one year or five. They should say which, and let people choose.

Edit: Until this is clarified, everyone should just turn auto-renew off and do it manually. I wouldn't be shocked if they tried to auto-renew everyone for five years.

Thanks!! If MJ worked harder at improving service and less at trying to ripoff its customers more people might renew on their own.

How can they auto renew when they don't even have credit card number> I never filled in the credit card info on my account. Guess that is one good thing about buying it at a store and not from their website.

For anyone who didn't read my post in the other thread, MJ changed the design of the page again. Now there is a "RENEWAL" section, and to see one's expiration date, you have to click on that section's button. Still no mention if auto-renew is for one year or five. I don't see any mention of it in MJ's FAQ's/Knowledgebase either.
