Low cost phone service
Posted on: Nov 27, 2012Easy to set up, easy to use, good sound quality, price
This product gives you what it promises, low cost phone service. Mine works great and at about $30 a year you cannot find a better deal.
Would recommend to a friend.

Great Value
Posted on: Nov 20, 2012Easy to install and use, great price
magicjack gives you exactly what they promise, cheap and reliable phone service. I have been using the product for about two months now and do not have any complaints. If you want to get away from the monthly phone bills from you land line provider, give magicjack a try.

Excellent Invention!
Posted on: Nov 20, 2012Easy to use. Cheap. Installs automatically. Can talk for hours for free!
The Customer Service "chat" can be a bit longwinded at times, but I guess I have to take it for what it is, a low cost service.
Absolutely love my magicJack PLUS. I had the regular magicJack and upgraded to the PLUS a month or two back. One of two minor issues when setting up with my new router, but with a bit of "trial and error", everything is working correctly and I have never had a problem since.

What a deal
Posted on: Nov 08, 2012Was easy to setup, and it's even easier to use
My wife and I are big fans of magicjack. We have used it for almost a full year with no problems and we just renewed for another year actually. My wife uses it every day and talks a lot, our home phone bill was outrageous before. I highly recommend the magicjack and if you are thinking about buying one, definitely give it a shot!

Horrible Service, Had to get investigations involved
Posted on: Nov 08, 2012They charged my account $86.47, I told them that moment I saw the charge I want my money back, they said 3-5 Business days. When I contacted them back they said they never took my money. So I called my bank and they are investigating the company for stealing my money. They refused to provide a phone number even for a owner/manager. DO NOT buy from them, too much of a hassle for 86 dollars...

magicJack product review
Posted on: Nov 08, 2012Price, call quality, portability
If Internet connection is poor it may affect call quality
Have been using magicjack for about two years now and I am very satisfied with it. I use it as my home phone line and the call quality is very good. I also like the fact that I can bring it with me on my travels abroad and use the Hotel Internet connection to call home, free of charge.
Would recommend to a friend.

Awesome!!
Posted on: Nov 01, 2012Best quality, cheapest price, great service
Purchased a magicJack from BestBuy and have loved it ever since I started using it.
Call quality is better than my landline and cellphone together. The price cannot be beaten. I have had questions about the product and its features and their customer support has been extremely helpful. I love the fact that you don't need to call and hold for 30+ minutes until someone picks up. Chat is easy and you can multitask while chatting with them.
I definitely recommend this products. Two thumbs up!!!

Extremely impressed
Posted on: Oct 31, 2012The amount of money we have saved on a home phone bill is astounding and a real eye-opener.
When we first got our original magicjack back in 2009, our local area code was not available in the number selection. The last time that we renewed and bought the 5 year deal, we found that it was, so we changed our number. Problem solved. From talking to others, if you don't have a good internet connection the product will not work as well for you it seems. Our internet is top notch however, so we are very pleased overall.
I bought a magicjack plus for my son to use in his dorm room at college last year. So far so good. We have an original jack at the house, and have been able to talk to our son on the opposite coast, for free, without wasting our cell phone minutes. Sound is great, call quality excellent. My husband and I have recommended the product to our neighbors and friends. We bought a five year plan for our jack and for our son's plus. Magicjack has 3 happy customers from this household!

Magic jack
Posted on: Oct 28, 2012Amazing price, ease of use and portability
None!
I am sorry that I didn't know about this earlier. There is nothing not to like. My phone bill has gone from $250 per year down to $30 per year! I kept my home phone number for the device.
The online customer service is great. I am glad to give up a customer service person on the phone for huge savings.
I use a cordless phone, but any phone will work. I have a magic jack at my office as well as at my house, and it works really well. If someone leaves a message, I get an email with a recording of the voice message.
As long as the Internet is running, the phone works. If the Internet stops workin for some reason, I have a cellular phone for backup.
Would recommend to a friend.

Worst customer service
Posted on: Oct 06, 2012Ok for most domestic user
Will not tell you the details of what is been charged. If you use a phone card for international calls, they will charge you extra on top of what phone card charge.
I dialed a local number to use a phonecard for international calls, was told there would be a charge. But you'll never going to find out how much is the charge. All you can see is you prepaid balance going down fast. Here is the end of my chat with 'the highest level of support you can chat with'.
Loren:(who is the supervisor)
But as what the previous agent informed you, we do not have a list for a specific rates on the number you were trying to call. The rate may vary depending on the number you're trying to call. Prior to being connected to a Pre Paid call, a brief message will inform your of your Pre Paid balance in terms of minutes based on the number you are calling.
Steven Sun: I am not asking yoou for the rate. I am asking for how much was I charged? Can you see the record?
Loren: Okay. Let me try to check. May I have your magicJack phone number?
Steven Sun: Your website clearly said free all domestic calls. My# is 614-xxx-xxxx
Loren: Thank you.
Steven Sun: May I have a copy of my record?
Loren:
Phone Number: (614) xxx-xxxx
IPP/PM Balance: $10.72
IPP/PM Used: $9.28
Steven Sun: Where is details? Is this a state secret?
Loren: Please check our Terms of Service at www.magicjack.com/tos under Section 4. What Is Free and What is Not: "We may require prepaid purchase and/or we may charge you for calls to conference lines, platforms and certain non-ILEC area calls, or any call wherein we incur a cost from another carrier. We may provide for a fee, premium prepaid services, which may be powered by YMAX Communications Corp. (YMAX), and may include some inbound, international, conference, platform and outbound calls that receive a recording and certain calls to non-ILEC areas, and the rates for those services will be governed by listed price lists or tariffs."
Steven Sun: Where it says you not telling customer charge details?
Loren: Customer Contract

Steven Sun: Get me your supervisor.
Loren: Yes, you are now chatting to one that is why you were transferred to me.
Steven Sun: I want to talk to your manager.
Loren: This is the highest level of support you can chat with.
