MajicJack Internet Phone RipOff, Nationwide

We have had MajicJack for over a year now. From time to time the quality of the audio goes down, but nothing that resetting the router and unplugging the majicJack, then plugging it back in will not fix. I will take a little inconvenience once in awhile over a $52 a month bill any day. Works just fine especially for the price I have paid for it.

I purchased my Magic jack at a national retail store after a friend told me about his and how great it is.I never saw an info-mercial or any ads for this before I purchased it,so I had no pre-conceived ideas of what was to come.I purchased it for $39.99 and that came with a year of unlimited calling.and 29.99 per year after that! They even gave me the option of $59.99 for 5 years !! This thing works great.I loaded it by the instructions and it took about 3 minutes to load the software and that was that.As long as I am on the net (or my hard drive is operating)I can make unlimited,high quality calls anywhere in the country.
What more could I ask for.Simply turn off your monitor on your computer when not in use.The monitor takes more electric to push than any other part of your system.It takes almost nothing to run the hard drive.I think that this is a spectacular piece of technology,and like it or not, I'll bet it hits big.It may undergo some growing pains and a few bugs may need to be worked out,but all in all fantastic ! I've had mine now for about 8 months and have not experienced a single problem with one exception.It does conflict with a program on my computer.Roxio Creator 2009 and it do not play well together.So far that is my only complaint.I switched to Nero-9 and continue to save huge chunks of cash with my magic jack.TRY IT YOURSELF before making a judgment.As with any new product there are going to be a problem or two that need working out.So lighten up a little,there are only a handful of complainers and thousands that are pleased as punch !! Have a great day giving AT&T all of your $$$.

We started using MajicJack in November, 2008. We have had a few problems, but nothing that made us say "I want to spend $45 a month rather than $20 a year on phone service." It has been nothing that downloading the update or restarting the software couldn't fix. We did have to put a shorter phone line from the jack to the telephone. It works, and works pretty darn well, considering my computer is five years old. We have really had no issues that weren't fixable. And we have never had to contact Customer Support. Every question has been answered in the FAQ section.

I have had Magic Jack, since it came out. My Magic works just fine, and have no major problems to speak of.

When magic Jack first came out, there were problems with anyone running Windows XP Pro with SP/3. They have since corrected this problem.

Make sure that you have the lastest update which is http://upgrades.magicjack.com/upgrade/upgrade.exe

Also if you are using a router, firewall then you need to make sure to forward ports 5060 to 5070 UDP.

This is the only thing that I do not like about magic jack, is that they make it almost impossible to get to the live chat.

The other problem I have with Magic Jack, is that there is no way to get in touch with them via the phone.

Other than that I have no problem with Magic Jack, and has been working for me ever since I installed it.

I bought it last week and have no problem with it. I can make and receive calls with no problem

To the previous I would like information on keeping you landline # if you have it.

Thanks

I was going to buy this today. BUT, I needed some questions answered first. On the website, they say using your own land phone number will be coming soon with a fee. And I wanted to find out when and how much. Got on the live chat on the website. asked my question, using VERY simple words. Over and over a few times, same answer BUT not to the question I asked.
Finally typed in asking for a customer server phone number. Answer they do not have a phone number!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the repeated answer to the wrong question seemed like from a robot?? not another thinking person.
There is no email address on the web page. u can not talk to a real live person.
Also thinking, is your computer safe, and the info on it.
Makes me recall 911, will not buy something from a company that HAS NO PHONE NUMBER. And you do not know where they are.
