The worst product, worst customer service and completely false advertising. My Magic Jack had a warranty but it stopped working within the warranty period. They don't even have a phone number to call, everything is by email and they don't reply. After waiting for months with no response from them I contacted BBB, Attorney General and TV station and even then they did not honor warranty. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Bunch of thieves, thugs and crooks.
I have many magicJacks in my office and they are some of the worst phone systems of all. The other day I renewed my services on a couple devices and they took my money out of my bank but never turn on my services. I called and spoke to some people in the Philippines but never got anything handled. Finally today they sent me an email and stated that due to Rule 6 I had violated the fraud rules. No clue what that could mean other than they do not like that I am asking about my money. They said they were not able to work with the magicJack device they sold me due to this and made no mention of returning my money. I filed a claim at my bank to get my money back and filed a complaint with the FCC on these people. Will also file a complaint with my States Attorney Generals office. It is people like this that makes it so hard to trust anyone anymore. and most all your company has an out by just saying it was a fraud they believed happen when they are the frauds themselves. I do not recommend this company to anyone anywhere.
I've been trying for TWO MONTHS and three different tech support people to cancel this account. I called them again today and they told me that since it's a prepay service, I "may not" be entitled to a refund of my $406.00 which is still on my account. That sucks and is totally unethical. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.
While you can't beat the price for dialer traffic, it certainly comes at a cost and you get what you pay for. After we signed up, we had a few questions. I left multiple voice mails and sent multiple emails to our account manager, all of which went ignored. I finally called in to the main number to get my questions answered and I requested a new account manager. This was 4 months ago and I've called in multiple times regarding the status of our new account manger and they just tell me something nice to get me off the phone but nothing ever happens with it, we still don't have one. In addition, I typically pull the CSRs so I can bill our clients for their dialer traffic, but the last 2 months this link on their website has not been functioning properly. I only get error messages. When I call in to the main number to report this and to see if they have another way for me to get the CDRs, they tell me they will pull them and email them to me (but they never take down my info, my user name, my email address, or the dates I'm requesting). I've called in about 5 times regarding this issue and I NEVER get a response back. Whats worse is that now when I call into the main number I get our old account manager so when he says he'll pull the reports and email them to me, I'm never surprised when it doesn't happen. I haven't been able to bill our client for the last 2 months due to this issue and I can't get ahold of anyone who will do something besides tell me they'll call me back (and then don't). The CDR link is not the only website issue they have. I frequently will log in and their images/logos are missing, or I click a link and get an error message. Currently, when I try to log in, I get an error message. Sometimes, their website won't even come up at all. There have also been many occasions where I've called our old account manager and received "the cellular customer you've dialed is not in service", or I've called the main number and it rings twice, then goes to a busy signal. I do understand that from time to time technical issues will arise, but this has been non-stop for 6 months now, its always something with them and when I report the issue they say "I'll check into that and give you a call back today", and then I never hear from them. I have worked with 2 other upstream providers in the industry and this one is by far the WORST I have experienced. I am currently looking into another company for our dialer traffic and will be moving from Gafachi as soon as possible!
