| What MagicJack features would you like to see added? This poll is intended to cover what features MagicJack users desire. Please do not post about better call quality or reliability in this thread as I see those as technical problems that do not plague all users. Please add any features not covered in the poll. Please also post about the implantation and functionality of desired features for the MagicJack here. |

Hi,
I find these two are already available. My MJ number forwards to a landline when the MJ isn't plugged in. Also I find the member-login and account info website easy enough to use.
* Call forwarding working without the MagicJack being plugged in
* Easy updating of account information online(changing account holders name, email, credit card info, ect.)
This would be nice, so I'll vote for this one.
* Three-way calling initiated by the MagicJack user(allowing to dial out to connect a three-way call) |

| At this point in time the most requested feature is for MagicJack is to allow you bring your own device(giving you sip credentials and support for an ATA). I hope MagicJack responds to the requests of it customers. |

Certainly not compelling evidence based on a sample of 39 users. What % of real live Walmart shopping customers ever visit or are even aware of the existence of this forum. I think is is rather self-aggrandizing for we forum members to consider ourselves as having any influence over the direction of Magicjack, with two major exceptions......it was through this board the ability to spoof caller-id became public and we also widely propagated information how to obtain SIP credentials to avoid use of the MJ dongle and softphone. Look where that got us!!!!!!!!! _________________ Good Luck

|

I have not heard anyone mention what i would think is on the top of everyone list...
contact list/address book import/export utility.
A help and about that actually shows the current version and date of the soft phone application with an update feature that verifies the new version to already installed version so that it does not download an un-needed app if the installed version is the same as the upgrade.
conversation recorder
eliminate the task bar icon when app is minimized and only a small tray icon appears near the system clock..
am i alone on these ideas??? |

You simply missed the point crackerjack! I am under no delusions that this forum has any significant or persuasive powers in forming the corporate policies at MagicJack. You are correct that this forum is not representative of the average MagicJack user. I like many others was introduce to VoIP by my purchase of the MagicJack. I have since learned about VoIP technology and its plethora service providers. MagicJack inaction of not expanding its product and service offerings is subjugating itself to the insignificant disposable market segment. The problem with strategy is that it is not conducive towards long term growth sustainability. When all the Walmart customers have purchased the little magic box where will the revenue be derived from. I do not believe the revenue will come from advertising feature on the softphone because it is flawed. As you know anyone with a thin client or second computer can use the MagicJack and never see an ad! So why would advertisers pay for a form of unproven form of advertisement with such an inaccurate circulation rate. The only ads that I have seen displayed on the softphone are for MagicJack's international calling service. Obviously the demand to advertise on the MagicJack softphone is not there and may never be there. If I were Dan I would have my software team make the softphone time out every hour without user interaction to ensure that my much coveted ad space was being viewed by human eyes and not just an electrical current on wafer of sand. MagicJack must decide if it is a long term player or a passing trend exploiting a temporary market segment for a quick finical gain. The voip services arena is over crowed with both tiny upstarts and corporate giants looking to capture the voice communications market share. Telbo offers a calling plan for $12 a year by using there softphone. This not radically from MagicJack as you have to have your computer to place a call. Google Voice wants to gave everyone one number for life for free. Sipgate and IPKall also off free DID's. VoIP is entering into extremely competitive stage in its technology life cycle which will yield winners and losers. Only time will tell when and how MagicJack will be recorded on the ever evolving pages of time. |

| I would like to be able to sent my caller id to my local phone or number. People don't recognize my call and try to call me back, sometimes causing them to call long distance. |

| I would like to be able to switch my MJ to a Canadian area code. I am told Cdn area codes are available only to new customers. to hell with existing customers. MJ doesn't really care as they have been paid and don't see any reason to accommodate good customers. a recipe for failure in any business. |

I'd keep mine if I could call any phone number without restrictions.
Currently, you cannot call certain conferencing numbers. MJ blocks it. |
