Device is very poor quality
I ordered this device from their webpage in August 2008. For the last 3 months I have given this device a fair try and have found that the device is the worst piece of junk on the market today. I cannot believe they actually charge money for this piece of junk!

Out of the last 3 months I had perhaps 6 phone conversations that were clear enough that I could hear the other party and they could hear me. Most of the time there is so much static that no one can hear anything except the static.

Tech support is a joke as well. You have to go through many clicks on links that take you no where. They claim Live Chat is available in seconds. That is a grand lie.

If and when you get a Live Person and tell them you want to return the device be prepared for a looonnnggg haul talking to them. They will try to talk you out of returning it to them at all cost.

If you've had the device longer than the trial period, they don't even want it back. I will just have to wait and see if they bill my credit card again.

There is a way to save their chat log however!

Don't buy this product. It sucks big time.

not unlimited service
They just discontinued service after two months without warning. Finally got hold of someone who told me it was because of excessive use. He could not tell me what figure was used. It was a arbitrary figure someone made up. They do not tell you there is a limit. They say in terms of service #6 that they have the right to discontinue service or excessive use. With teens we use it about 15 hours a week. That is less than most cellphone plans. IF they would tell you limitations most people would abide by them. Then they said I can continue service by prepaying and charged a penny a minute. Their add says no additional phone charges and the one video on their site the guy even says ... call anyone you want and talk as long as you want. False advertising. Good idea gone bad.

Awful company
MagicJack phone service is a joke they give u a number have your phone with a dial tone but when u try to call out u get no sound. When u call from your cell or another phone it goes straight to voice.The only way u can speak to someone is thru the internet.

When u ask them for a number they tell u they are only the technical department and refuse to give u a number. When u tell them they are working at home they try to deny it. LOUSY LOUSY COMPANY Beware!!

MagicJack Is Unreliable
MagicJack is not cracked up to be what they claim on their T.V. commercial. It is unreliable. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have had several dropped calls, beeps frequently, and plenty of echoing, poor connections, etc., etc. It is reasonably priced, but customer service is not the greatest. They use a script and don't answer the questions you ask. Apparently, they don't have technicians to explain anything to the customer representatives, or to the MagicJack users.
Voicemail is unreliable also. Sometimes you can't get your messages for days. I would not give up other reliable phone service for MagicJack It is frustrating trying to use it to say the least and I still don't have an answer for why it has so many problems.

Useless Equipment No Customer Service
Purchased three so called "Magic Jacks". None works. The only help is www.magicJack.com where you are requested to tell your friends to try the "magicJack" free "for $39.95 plus shipping and handling. I tried three "free" at the cost of well over $130.00 and many hours, weeks, and months. Still unable to "magicfix" as advised on the packaging, nor able to reach magicJack customer service. If only they would make available a street address and phone number with a live individual to speak to. I am unable to use these jacks.At time of purchase, free return shipping and purchase money guaranteed, if dissatisfied. Return to where? The only guaranty I get is an appology the system is temporarily down, please try again later. Is "magicJack" legitimate? How do I find out?

No live operators
From the telephone number advertised on TV it is impossible to get a live operator. When attempting to order the product, numerous attempts to provide legitimate credit card numbers were declined as well as debit card.
Suspicion of a rip-off is evident when repeated attempts were declined after giving sufficient true information to the computer operator. If this product is on-the-level then they should have an established address, and somebody live to talk with. I decided to forget about it until they get their act together.

Unauthorized charges in large amounts
The phone service is horrible, the 'free 30 day trial' is charged to your account the minute you make the order, and then you wake up less than a month later having already spent $60 on the thing when your account is charged $93.80 out of the blue. I am in process of filing a dispute but don't hold out much hope. This is a disgraceful scam and after all these complaints, why is their ad still running? Are fraudulent companies allowed to advertise on TV? Where is the FCC?

stolen money from my bank account
unauthorized order of MagicJack. I was told the order was cancelled, then I received the product. I refused it and put it in a mailbox. They took $133.75 from my checking account.

I have been trying to speak with someone, but have not been successful. The company has a "chat" window and they are no help at all. If you try to get information, they will not give it or disconnect the chat.

This has been going on for 22 days I want this issue resolved.

Failure to give me refund
I ordered the "magicjack telephone device" late july. I immediately tried to install it on my computer/tele.service. it did not work. So, in accord with their stated return policy, I sent it back the very next day.(their return policy states, its to be returned within 2 weeks for the refund. I rec'd a confirmation of its delivery to them on Aug. 08. They said I would see my refund credited back to my credit card at the next credit card billing. I told them I accessed my bank statements everyday. (Dear GARLAND SEYMOUR (this is the e-mail they sent me. aug.1,).


We have received the magicJack(s) that you have returned. We have issued a credit to your credit or debit card. This credit will appear on your next months billing statement (Please note: if you returned a "Trial magicJack" within the thirty day trial period and were not charged, we will cancel your order and you will not be charged on your card). Please remember that you can always visit us at magicjack.com.

Thank you,

MagicJack Customer Service.

Since then, I have spoken with (nicole", "renard", "jason" "hero" and several others who say they are upper management, each time, they tell me my refund should be here in a few days, (once it was 3-5 business days, then it was 15 days, then it was 5-7 business days. for each person I spoke with on online chat, it was always a different answer. they sent me what they called " Magicjack adjustment, supposedly their evidence that it was being or had been processed (the amount was for $46.90 (Nicole sent me what she called a processing order #2020863; another number--538461; then an "invoice # which was my original order #A168972540.

The RMA ID# THEY SENT ME WAS #123326 ---They very conveniently "do not" give their phone number", so I cant call them.

Their address is a P.O. number Box 6846, west palm beach, fl., 33405. More and more I feel they will never refund my money but I thought I would make some effort to you on this site. Could you help me get my refund? I would appreciate any effort you could make in my behalf.

Thank You, Garland S. (e-mail: [email protected]).
