Replace Your Landline With MagicJack? - Comments Page 4

How many hardwired phones will the magicjack device feed??

I have been using MagicJack since December 2009, and, regularly call all my friends in the US, and, I live in South Africa!

i need to call forward my majic jack phone to my cell # when i travel...can you tell me how to do this ?

My concern would be electrical outages, since we live in hurricane country. No electricity, no internet. We've been fortunate over the years; the longest power outage I've seen was 24 hours, after Floyd in '99. But I have friends in other areas who have gone without for 10-14 days. I'd hate to be without my main phone for that long. Cell phone towers start to fail after that long too, but conventional land-line telephones keep right on working.

I tried it out a few years ago and had to take it back. I had to keep replugging the device to get it to work.

I now use Ooma for about 3 years and I love it. Very few problems over the years.

I've been using MJ for approx 5 years now i'm not even sure when i need to renew. Knowing i don't have other power hooked into my current phone circuit, I went against the MJ instructions and plugged my MJ into my home phone and can plug into any outlet in the house, of course with a wireless set you only need to plug in to one outlet. Works EVERY BIT as well as my old ATT line but the robo-calls are annoying.

I tried MJ a few years ago and had to cancel almost after 5 days due to trouble receiving calls from the UK. Their customer service is absolutely useless. I got to CR level three 3 times and all three, without warning were terminated. They just pulled the plug. After each failure I had to go back to square one about my issue. They did not have a record of the previous calls and we had to go back to the beginning script. Extreme redundancy. After the 3rd CR call was terminated, with no warning, I cancelled.

I had Magic jack at one time and had nothing but trouble with it and it caused great problems with my computer and their tech support was rude and could have cared less!

So in my estimation Magic Jack is not only a scam but a worthless piece of junk that causes more trouble than it is worth. Like many they talk big and give little! Nothing but Junk!

I have a wall phone with a 15' phone line hooked to a Magicjack. I have it plugged in the usb port on a windows 10 PC. That PC has a CAT5 going to my Xubuntu PC. The Xubuntu PC has a usb wifi getting the internet from a 4gLTE hotspot. I had the DSL disconnected because it was too expensive.
