What's their site / contact info? I'll open up a new complaint with them as well. More complaints they get, the more they'll look into them. |
Good luck wit dat!!!!!
Serves you right for buying diect from MJ. Shoulda gone to Radio Shack or Wally World |
Who says I bought direct from them? Sheesh, dumbass can't read it seems. |

No, it was a rather oblique, nuanced suggestion that you may want to return it whence you purchased. No wonder you didn't get the hint....

but, rules may change, who knows? |
A Canadian number is $10 per year. I just picked up my second magicJack and got my Canadian number and I will pay another $19.95+$10 USD a year from now. I probably won't renew my US number.
The rules have changed regarding changing from a US number to a Canadian number. It will not be free as initially promised. The charge for a Canadian number is $10/year on either on a new unit or when they set up their system so that we'll finally be able to change an existing US number to a Canadian number. |
Just FYI, I just purchased a brand-new MJ dongle ( bought and activated last week ) and I had to pay one time only $10 extra for my Canadian/Toronto-based number ( 416-900-xxxx) at first registerring. Then another $69.99 for 5 yrs platinum plan extension and my MJ is good to go until Feb-2016 as my MJ account shown right after I made a payment. Sounds like us Canadians dont have to pay $10/year additional for Canadian numbers as we though. I will confirm this when my credit card statement comes in two weeks from now...
Please note that you need to pick a Canadian number when you register your MJ dongle at the first time or you might have no chance to come back and get it later, well maybe Dan will chance his policy later but Im not sure if it would happen and when... |

| Probably wont happen, im sure they will use that as an excuse to buy a new unit and re-register a new #... Still, minimal costs compared to the dry humping the phone company does to everyone.... |

I've had my MJ for a couple years using a Michigan #. Last week I was able to change it to a Windsor number (519.800.XXXX). Cost was 5 bucks to change numbers and 10 bucks for the CDN number. |

Update to my previous post:
My CC statement came last week, and MJ charged me $69.95/ 5 yrs extension for Canadian number account when I bought and activated a new device last month. I still have another MJ with US phone# and will change it to Canadian# soon.
About MJ now offers changing US# to Canadian#, its great news. I guess MJ will get even more power in Canadian telephony market for this, along with Canadian# option when registering new device. I myseft have recommended 5 of my friends to try MJ since last month and they're all happy. MJ is now more usable for Canadians for what Dan has done so far. How about BYOD options in the future for people who love to play with ATAs? that would be sweet... |

it is GREAT isn't it, and I've recommended MJ as well to my friends and family. The only thing preventing us Canadians now from using MJ as our ONLY land line is the NON 911 service  hope they can fix that too soon! |

| Yeah thats my hope too! But in the meantime you still use your old/out off service cellphones laying around your house to call 911 when needed ( please correct my if Im wrong as I have no chance to test 911 service with my unused cellphone ) |

| I considered getting the MagicJack but when I looked into it more and came across this forum I discovered that there were problems for Canadians regarding phone numbers, so I decided not to bother. The idea seems really good in principle but without the necessary support yet it's something I have to pass on. I just use a cheap internet fax service for a lot of my communications. So far so good in that department. |

I bought it from Bestbuy 50$, came home and activated it , 10$ for Canadian # 289-xxx-xxxx ( I am from Brampton, Ontario) and I paid additional 70$ for 5 Years.
working fine, its way cheaper than lan line,
911 not working, disabled ( I hope they can enable this soon )
some Toll free # are not going through.
other than that, its solid good. |
