Searching for this info, the posts are varied, and a bit vague...

Did you pay the $40 for the MagicJack, then pay an additional $10 at registration time for the Canadian number?

For additional years, it's $30/yr instead of $20?

For the 5 year option, is that still $69.99?
Or is 5yr even available, after you registered?

Aiancris, I've had a US magicjack for a year and a half...
I know what they cost.

My question was specific, as the subject states,
for the current costs of a Canadian area code.

grrr

IF you have a MagicJack account with a CANADA area code, and you go to
http://my.magicjack.com and view your account, what do you see here?

Extend by 1 year $29.95 ?
Extend by 5 years ???.??

It shows $19.95 for one year, but I didn't go to the next window just in case I had to renew for another year before I wanted to. I'll find out in January 2011. Frankly, either way if it's $19.95, or $29.95 for one year service, it's still a bargain.

Well, we are getting somewhere now. Smile

It's been stated it costs an extra $10 when you register for a Canada area code.

So far, there is no evidence that it's $10 extra per year...

The "extend by 1 year" is still $19.95

The "5 year license" is not available if you have a Canadian area code. (?)

Can anyone add to that, or is it accurate?

Here's a chat from a few weeks back. Carmen has stated that it's $10 per year for the Canadian area code.

As I've said before, it's ten bucks. Still a bargain. I'm not sure where you're going to get Canadian telephone service cheaper.

Because MJ support chat always tells the truth Wink

right?
("engineers are working on it now" "Canadian number available any day now" "you can switch for free as soon as Canadian numbers are available" etc)

Seriously, this thread is all about facts...

If you paid $10 extra on registration, then that's true for sure.

If it says $19.95 for an extra year on the renewal screen, that appears to be a fact as well.

It's weird the 5 year option has disappeared completely for you though.

By the way Grrr, thanks for being the only Canadian to respond on this topic so far, I appreciate it Smile

OK : Facts for CANADIAN AREA CODE so far:

You can only get a Canada area code with a NEW MagicJack.

It costs an extra $10 when you register and get a Canada area code.

So far, there is no evidence that it's $10 extra per year...

The "extend by 1 year" is still $19.95

The "5 year license" is still $69.95

Yup, extra 10 bucks for me too for my Vancouver area code...

I still get the:
39.95 for a magic jack + free rush S&H,
$69.95 5yr plan
$109.90 magic jack + additional 5yrs (total 6yrs)

No option for a 1yr renewal

There is a 1 year renewal option, but another sleazy magicJack trick is to use faded print for the option that will make them the least amount of money. (notice where red arrow is pointing, below)

That faded grey button is where is says, "Click here for:
Features - 911 Changes - International - Additional Years" is where all your options are.

I suppose that depends on your point of view, if you plan on keeping your M.J.

They make quite a bit less if you get the 5 year option.

60 months for 70 bucks, tough to beat that.
