Comment on Beware of the Magic Jack 50 Call Limit by S. Arnold

S. Arnold — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:47:53 +0000

Yeah…I have myself just had this “service suspension” (really, an effective termination) on several magic jacks I have had between July 20 and 22, 2010.

I’ve had these – with the same calling patterns and volumn of use in my business, for OVER a year! It was only after I paid for an annual renewal that, within 30 days of getting my money, that they’ve done this! If I was a problem, why didn’t they warn me first and terminate me — long before this? And why does their website – to this day – explicitly say “call all you want”. And THAT with no qualifier or footnote even!!!

Sounds like MagicJack has suddenly wanted to: 1) Minimize their capacity needs; and, 2) Greatly increase their revenue with more magic jack purchases (to “spread the load” of the customer to avoid such B.S. of a 50 calls a day limit). SHAME ON THEM!!!

By the way, they point to their separate fine print. But I can assure you, I READ IT WHEN I STARTED SERVICE MAY AND JUNE, 2009 — AND THEY CHANGED THEIR FINE PRINT TO PUT THOSE TERMS IN (50 CALLS AND EXCESSIVE USE) WHILE FAILING TO NOTIFY ME OF ANY CHANGE! And NOW they are attempted to refuse to refund or reach other accomodation with me since they in the last month had DUPED me into paying them more money??? Sorry, Charlie.

I’m right now disputing these charges with my credit card company. Knowing how all of these firms work, I’ll probably lose somehow and have to pay. But I figure this: If just HALF of those being screwed by magic jack put them thru the time and expense of addressing these disputed charges, Magic Jack will STOP trying to screw the customer in this way! I urge all reading this in similar fashion to dispute your credit card charges for them!

RISE UP AGAINST THE MACHINES !!!

Comment on Tracfone has the largest coverage area of any cellular carrier by admin

I’m pretty sure that they have deals with the actual infrastructure providers to piggyback on their networks. So that when your Tracfone has a signal, it might actually be on the Verizon or AT&T network, etc. So it’s basically like combining the coverage of all the other providers.

I really don’t understand HOW Tracfone has such a huge network. I bought the phone a month ago and i have 0 complaints and am actually impressed since you don’t hear too much about this company. I get service EVERYWHERE! Including tunnels when I am driving (my old phones would go to ‘no service’, which is what impresses me the most). I used to pay double what I am paying now for phone service and I am getting WAAAAAAAY more for my money now that I am using Tracfone. GREAT Value!

Comment on Magic Jack Charges Credit Card and then Claims Ignorance by Elizabeth

Elizabeth — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:15:56 +0000

Me as well as several of my friends own mjs.
We have used them for years.
Renewing and all and never had any problems.
Acouple of my friends accidently let their mj expire and we called the online instant chat person (Heather was her name) She was quick and extremely courtious and helpful.
We love it and recommend it everyone!
Sometimes people ask it we work of mj because we speak so highly about it but we don’t!
As in everything in life I’m sure afew people may have a problem now and then but from what I’ve heard and read about complaints most were due to the user not the mj. If anyone doesn’t own a mj they are missing out on one of the best inventions!! Elizabeth in Illinois

Comment on 2 million MagicJack devices are not being used by noone

noone — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 00:23:45 +0000

Totally illogical conclusion. Many of the ‘inactive magic jacks’ are probably only used for occasional travel and not regularly active. Even if you assume ‘active’ to mean ‘paid up’ then many are like mine, out of the free trial period and sitting on a shelf until I need a second number again, at which time I’ll pay for another year and it will become ‘active’ again.

Comment on How to get 200 Bonus Minutes on a 400 minute card by Sigrid

Sigrid — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:22:51 +0000

I’m looking and looking for a 400 minute card, but all I can find on Tracfone website or in stores is 450 minutes. Will that still work? I haven’t bought any card yet, so I don’t want to get the wrong one. Thanks!

Comment on Does Magic Jack work with Windows 7 by Jake

Jake — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 01:16:56 +0000

It does but not under an administrator account. I’ve looked all over the internet to see if there is a way to use it on an administrator account and can’t find anything.
