Magicjack just updated their FAQ today (May 27, 2010) stating that number porting will come the first week of August 2010.

It is under the question: "Can I transfer or "port" my current land line telephone number to magicJack?", the other simular FAQ questions haven't been updated.

Hopefully TMC, will acutually follow through this time Wink

"Number porting will be available first week of August 2010.

There will be a nominal fee for number porting."

I will believe it when it happens. I have been waiting years for this moment! Very Happy

Don't be foolish enough to fall for for it! We've all heard this empty promise MANY times before.

We will have to see. This is the first time I have seen a fairly firm date. Everything I have seen in the past has been vague at best...

This was one the major reasons I purchased MJ. After buying it THEN seeing how long this has been promised, they had better keep to their word. Otherwise, I'm on the horn with the FCC. I don't see how they can continue to say they're going to do it, and don't. I understand the BOCs are a pita to deal with, but come on.

Here's to crossing my fingers for the next 3 weeks! Confused

Still saying "Number porting will be available first week of August 2010.

There will be a nominal fee for number porting."

Any guess as to how much this fee would be? Meaning how much do other companies charge for something like that?

My past experience was always free. So I have no idea.

The reason I'm asking is because now I still paying to keep my number alive for porting. If the cost is unreasonable (which I won't do then), I might was well end it now.

...unless their "nominal fee" is yearly, like the fees are for special/novelty phone number they have.

Any ideas on whether a brand new MJ would be better to hook up for the 1st time, before, or after, said promised, "Number porting will be available first week of August 2010", goes into effect? Are there generally promotional offerrings, or any other advantageous caveats when "Coming Soon" has been heard before? Any Gotchas? I've been sitting on this MJ for so long it's starting to complain of the heat, smell, and sound of "Coming Soon!" Maybe it's just Me running on past Coming Sooner, nor later sentences?

I did not renew MagicJack last month because the web site still said that number porting was coming "soon" (after a year!) and I went to live chat tonight to let them know my reason. Someone named Jaron, for whom English definitely is not his/her native language, assured me that number porting will be available by the end of this week.

I replied "I do not mean to be insulting, but are you telling the truth?"

Jaron said something like "do not to worry it is already in approve".

So I said I'll check the website again at the end of this week and we thanked each other.[/code]
