I honestly can't understand all these bad reviews. I've had Viatalk for close to a year and I am very satisfied with the quality of the service. No issues whatsoever with the quality of either incoming or outgoing calls. I did have an issue with a couple of the features, but the tech support was very responsive and fixed one of the issues right over the phone. The reliability has been perfect. I don't plan on switching. They are a great VOIP provider.
We've had Viatalk for more than 10 years and have noticed a degradation in service quality as well as an increase in fees that they say is recovery of taxes, but no other voip provider charges. Even if you choose their 2 year 'special', you still pay $40 in fees and an additional $5 monthly for fees. Rip off city! Plus, they are very difficult to quit.
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.
