You would think that a company that sells a device that enables phone communications for free around the world. Would have a phone , and a phone number to get in touch with customer service. You would think. Me I have called and left messages with states us attorney general. I placed and order over a phone and never got my confirmation e mail. They charged my card and you cant get anyone in customer service that is worth a dam.
Scam comes to mind beware people. Pete E

Go outside your home, to the side of your house where the telephone service is going into the box. UNPLUG IT.
Put a cord from the Magic Jack to one of your wall jacks
You now can use any phone in the house that is plugged into other wall jacks.

I’m not sure how it works for Canada, but we were able to choose our area code when we signed up with Magic Jack. Rates to the UK start at 2¢/minute – you can view the full chart here: http://www.magicjack.com/international/

Hope that helps!

@DRobinson – I’m “the guy” who wrote the MagicBeans feature-addition app for the magicJack. I now have hundreds of users with a nearly perfect percentage of them very happy with it. (The *very* few who weren’t had problems with their computers that they didn’t want to get advice on).
MagicBeans allows you to disable voicemail on the magicJack by settings the number of rings before it goes to voicemail. It also allows you to selectively block incoming calls based on their caller id (or lack of). You can also block all toll-free calls, anonymous callers, etc.,. MagicBeans has a bunch of other nice features, too.

You and others on this forum would be very welcome customers. I don’t give any guarantees, and have a very one-sided license agreement due to the all-too-many nuts out there; but I will unequivocally say that the software works great. If you have any issues, as long as you spend the time for me to help you get it working on your machine, then if I can’t help you, I will refund the purchase. This means that you’d agree and follow my advice on the necessary fixes to your machine. In every such case, when the customer followed my advice, they’ve become very happy MagicBeans customers.
FYI, for your confidence in my advice, I submit some brief credentials to you:
I have 35+ years experience with computers, both software and hardware, as a consultant to 60+ major corporations, as well as a retail computer repair business owner. I’ve been President and CEO of a “C” Corporation since 1985; and started my business in 1975 at age 15.

@Jackie, You wouldn't need two Magic Jacks... just one of the cordless phone systems that you can have a base + other phones that are just hooked up to the electrical outlets. We have a system like that and it works great!

Can you use two magic jacks on the same computer though?

Are you still happy with magic jack? We bought it and have had problems with the connection…sometimes people can’t hear us and sometimes there is a very loud back ground noise that makes it hard for either side to hear. We are using it with roadrunner.

When not couponing and reading your site I have been reading here. This site also helps out with a list of phones that work best for the magic jack and can help out people that may be having problems with there caller ID not working rite. (( look up “100 K resistor, or CID resistor .” )) ((http://www.magicjacksupport.com/inbound-cid-possible-fix-t108.html ))

Also been reading about some guy that made an application called MAGICBEANS.. http://www.magicjacksupport.com/magicbeans-more-magic-for-your-jack-released-t5919.html or his site he is selling the app from… ( http://www.magicjackbeans.com/ ) this looks pretty cool as you can customize your Magicjack and settings… One can get lost with all this readings and one can have fun learning what you can do with your Magicjack… I hope this can help some with any problems they may be having.. I have not bought MAGICBEANS yet but thinking of it !! for those that don’t understand what applications can do they are like an app for your blackberry or iphone that can add features to your default product !!

If you are having voice quality issues all you need to do is buy a USB port with an adapter. It takes lots of energy from the computer to make a call so when you have a powered usb you don't have to worry about the computers usage. You can buy one for under 7 bucks at EFORCITY.com

Magic Jack is going to have it where you can keep your existing home telephone number sometime in 2009. I plan on keeping my phone line until they get the new system working. Call them for details.

Joy,

For us, our main phone line was (and still it) our cell phones. We had Vonage so that we could call long distance. Magic Jack has worked out really well for us as a secondary phone number, an our computer was on pretty much all the time anyway.

But if someone didn't want to have a computer up and running most of the time then you're right, the $30 a month for Vonage would be the way to go. At least it's less than a line through the traditional phone companies!

To use the Magic Jack, must you leave your computer on 24/7? I have Vonage for a total cost of $26.07/month and use this as my main phone line. I rarely even turn on my cell phone. When if factor in the cose to keep my PC turned on 24/7 and the ware and tear so to speak, I’m not sure this is for me. But it sure is a cheap way to go if it works for you.

I think it depends on the security system that you have. You might want to call your security company and see if it will work with a VoiP phone system.

Our router is a (Belkin) and we have had it hooked up to laptops with a wireless card also but we still can’t use both at the same time. It is probably just the users.

We use a wifi router (Linksys) and haven’t had a problem getting internet while on the phone. The Magic Jack is attached to one of the computer with a wireless card, so I don’t know if that would make a difference or not.

We got a majack jack last year. It is clear but we have a problem with when we use it on a computer the other computers in the house don’t recieve a wifi signal.So if I was on the internet and one of my daughters wanted to use the phone I would lose the internet. And vise versa. We use a router for the laptops to get the wifi,is there a way to do it differently?
