It is not a magicJack it is a magicJUNK!

After using a magicJack for2 months it fell apart in two pieces. I used it on my laptop and I hate it. Once in awhile magicJack just doesn’t work. Restarting the software or rebooting may or may not help. Sometimes when you work on a computer and talk to the other party they cannot hear you. As an office device I wouldn’t recommend it.

Can someone tell me that if I get the magic jack and I have to get an out of area area code – will the party calling me on the magic jack number be charged a long distance fee?

Often my incoming calls go straight to voice mail, not every time but about 75 percent of the time. MJ costumer service has no fix for this, they tried several things that didn’t solve the problem. I checked my USB ports they are not on the energy saving mode. I think I’m have to get regular phone service, because I need to know when people are calling me.

I just recently purchased the magicjack. Could someone tell me, if I have an area code say, 604 and someone calls me on the magicjack number, with the same
area code, would they be charged a long distance call from their phone company?

2 questions for anybody out there:

1. “…select pretty much any unused phone number I wanted in the US.”
I live in Canada and want to use my existing phone number. Anybody know if that is possible?

2. Has anyone noticed if the use of magic jack slows down their computer system or creates lag in certain programs?

I have a friend who swears by Magic Jack and loves it. I’ve always wanted to try it, but don’t you always have to have your computer on??

Can anybody tell me what happens to your phone calls if your computer is not on -are they just lost? Or do they have some sort of voicemail service?
