magicJack Complaints & Problems: Possible User Error?
We get a lot of comments and emails here about magicJack, and more specifically, the problems people are having with it.
What I find funny is that people are quick to assume the issue is with the magic Jack itself. It can’t possibly be that they’ve downloaded every ‘e-card’ that some ‘anonymous’ friend sent them (that’s a virus, in case you didn’t know) or that they just have their systems configured incorrectly.
Nope, it has to be the unit itself. But understand, lots of people have had minimal issues with it, including me. And if there is a common error your having all you have to do is figure out what the error code means and troubleshoot that specific issues. More often than not the issue is with a poor Internet connection and magicJack has nothing do with that. In order to use VoIP consistently and reliably one simply must have a fast Internet connection.
Could you receive a faulty unit? Of course you could. Could the software install fail? Of course it could. VoIP telephone service is known to be finicky and when you sell MILLIONS of units you are going to have a percentage of them fail. Not every hamburger McDonalds makes looks like the picture either, but most of us just slop the pickles back on top and eat our Big Macs. Right?
This is the way the real world works. A magicJack device is no different than getting a fresh order of fries or one that has been sitting around and awhile and gets soggy and cold. Sometimes electronics are faulty, usually not, but there’s no way every single one the company manufactures is going to be perfect.
Magic Jack is designed to be cheap. Period. It’s not got the profit margin built-in to offer 24 hours customer service hotlines like AT& T. You paid 50 bucks boys and girls. FOR A YEAR… And future years can be bought for just $19.95
Think about that for a minute. Then think about your petty rants before you post them here.
Update: Magic Jack Complaint: My First
Yup, the honeymoon is over. I have my first real complaint about the magicJack and it’s VoIP phone service. It’s not a huge deal, but it could be an indicator of a larger problem.
Here’s what happened.
My mother in law, who’s a dear, was trying to call my wife yesterday and said that she had nothing but problems. Either it would not connect, or even worse, at times it would connect, but to someone elses number. In other words, the call was not making it through and when it did, it didn’t make it through to us…
Could it be user error? Of course it could. She’s a little old lady and it could be that she just made a mistake in dialing the wrong number.
Or, it could be a sign of a very weak network with poor connections. Maybe her Internet was working slow that day. We just don’t know and it could have been from a variety of issues. Long as it’s not a consistent problem things will be okay.
I’m not ready to make a judgment call on this yet, but I have to admit, when I heard the story from my wife last night, it did raise an eyebrow that maybe some of these complaints from users are true.
Discuss and let me and others knows exactly what you have experienced… The more information we can spread to each other the better!

i would love the magic jack if i could figure out why my incoming calls are getting a busy signal. thats the only problem i have,but it’s a big one. i’m not really experienced with computers but i’m learning. i think it’s something to do with the computer. i just bought a brand new compaq presario windows vista in feb 09. if any one can help or has had this problem please contact me. thank you cindy.
I am a computer programmer, and i have a “MJ” and I have not been able to get it to work right since about a month after i bought it. I have even talked to (well “chatted”) with the people at the MJ company and they could not figure out the problem either, so I am sorry but I have to say it sux!
What kind of “computer programmer” are you, Fred?
I love it when people toss out a general term, hoping that it qualifies them as an expert in the eyes of all that read their comment.
Just because you know a few things about a few things, it doesn’t automatically qualify you to say it sucks.
Please clarify what your problems were, what you were experiencing, and what exactly you worked on with the magicjack customer service.
Then, we might qualify your comment as valid.
Just saying that it sucks smells troll like….
My two cents….
Having lots of problems with magicjack . when I am working on something else their popup comercial blocks part of my screen making it impossible to work. Then i try to make an out of state calls I get a busy signal. and I try thd solutions thet offer I get all kind of offers of a free trial. Heck I already bought the damn thing, They need to put a complete set of instructions step by step in our emails instead of confusing the hell out of us. Ernest Co,e
I bought 10 magicjack last month, and they are perfect and no problem at all. Besides, you safe thousand bucks evey year compare to others on the market right now. I recommed friend to buy this product. ..:)
I bought Magic Jack and I’m very pleased. At first, I thought I had a problem with voice breaking up, but it turned out to be the phone I was using. I’m using FIOS and wireless to the tower and quality is as good as any phone I’ve ever used. I do not expect people to call me back as there will be a long distance charge for them if they don’t have Magic Jack. One bad thing is that I have an Alabama number and most people think it is a telemarketer. I believe that by listening to many people who have bought units and are unsatisfied , that many are not computer savvy…and one should at least know the basics. So far, a fabulous device for what I need.
They do not offer a listing for magic jack owners…and privacy is maintained.
Probably better to buy locally than through the internet.
Great product!
Bought two and they work fine. Sent one to a family member to use in Japan and he has called us in New York many times with again no problems.
Don’t be so quick to think that Magic Jack is not a rip-off. I am currently in dispute with the company by way of complaint with the BBB of Southeast Florida. My charge? That Magic Jack did intentionally and without my authorization charge my debit card (which I was told they no longer do!) for the full purchase price to be withdrawn TWO days after I looked into their “free 30 day trial”. Finding contact information on these people is like pulling teeth. You can’t find it, or I should say, they hide it well for I did eventually discover all the contact information necessary to file a complaint against them. This started out as a venture to uncover the hidden cost of the product (as their service is not available in my area, I have no reason to want one). The main problem is that the website is poorly laid out and they don’t tell you what the “free” trial will cost until AFTER you have entered your information not BEFORE as it should be. I am spreading the word of the illegal practices of this company and it’s false claims. Don’t be sucked in! Do a search on Magic Jack complaints before contacting these people and, perhaps, getting yourself into a situation that can only bring you grief.
My Magic Jack works as advertized but everyone I talk to tells me that the sound quality is terrible on the receiving end. I hear them crystal clearly. Does anyone have a solution to that problem?
Thanks!
I have had the MagicJack for 5 days now and it worked fantastically for 2 days. however it isn’t working now and I have 3 days of working with countless agents to fix the situation and my patience is running a bit thin, but I will continue to work with them until the issue is fixed. I just hope it happens soon because I have only had 40% up time since I bought it…
I have the mj and have been using it for about a month now. Overall I am totally satisfied with the mj. I have a couple of issues that I see other people have written about which I have solved. First, the popup that starts when the computer is turned on – the fix is to turn on the computer and walk away for about 10 min, come back and minimize the popup and that no longer is a problem. Second, when I am downloading software to my computer I do not have a clear connection – the fix is to do my computer maintenance and upgrades when I am not on the phone. Third, I had one occurance of not being able to connect to the website to stop forwarding calls to my cell phone – I chatted online with a rep that also experienced the same problem and his fix was to try another browser – That was the wrong fix and after a while the site was back up and I could change the call forwarding. I have found that in my case, the problems I have experienced have generally been because of my lack of patience and not fully understanding that mj is a great bargain for the price and is not designed to be a telephone company with lots of extra staff and additional cost to support that staff being passed on to me.
A suggestion for anyone with sound quality issues. If you can hear them perfectly, but they are having issues hearing you, Echoes, garbled, etc. try lowering your microphone volume levels.

I just received my Magic Jack this week and am using Windows Vista on a Dell XPS laptop with Cable Internet connection.
I have had a few issues of frustration, but quickly learned it was user error!
I would suggest you having SOME computer knowledge before attempting to use Magic Jack.
If you are a college student such as myself, this is excellent!
Also remember you are not on a dedicated land line – you are on the internet, speeds vary at certain times, so your service will vary some also. But for the most part you should have no issues.
i just bought the majic jack from circuit city. I was reading a lot of comments and complaints about unauthorized charges /scam from this company and whatever. i paid with a credit card at this store, and im wondering if majic jack (if they do have unauthorized charges) would be able to pull my information from the store.
Also, i just installed it and it took me about 10 mins. it will only work with the firewall off even with exeptions thought. but so far so good.
Well see how it goes.
My wife bought the MJ sice it was a hell of a lot cheaper than adding digital phone to our cable package. This little thing is AWESOME! I have made calls from it, and also been on the calling end calling my wife and the voice quality is crystal clear. I havent had one problem with busy signals or incomplete calls (unless you count the one time my wife shut down the computer and calls would go straight to voicemail). This little device does the EXACT same thing that my cable company does with their digital phone service, but it doesnt cost me an extra $30 a month. We bought this at a store (walgreens I believe) so MJ didnt really have any of our info, but we also paid the discounted 5 yr plan when we setup the MJ, other than the charge we authorized (for the 5 years prepaid), no other “surprise” charges have shown up. Between the device and the extra payment for 5 years of service, I paid a little over $100 to have my phone service for a total of 6 years….. that would have only been 3 months with my cable company! Now if only I could find a MJ add-in for media center I would be set (since the device is now connected to a dedicated HTPC).
Initially had problems with unit bought at walmart, it seemed to be an open unit when I purchased it, didnt realize till i got it home and it didnt work. Eventually decided to try again, picked up one at radio shack. If you buy it locally YOU MUST upgrade it because it’s been sitting on a shelf while the web has moved on. No problems after upgrade initially.
Unfortunately now I cant call the main number I got it for, seems to be a problem linked to the phone company my mom uses. Cant call her, cant call Etex coop’s offices. Etex apparently upgraded their wireless service and somehow messed up my magicjack’s ability to call my mom. I agree with a previous comment. Customer chat can be a bit frustrating in today’s “I want it NOW era,” but I’m trying to be patient while they work on it, just a bit hard to trust that someone is actually doing something with no eta on a fix and only a faceless chat to deal with takes a little getting used to. As the early post mentioned, patience is a virtue, just hope they can fix the issue or may have to return it since this is the main number I need to call. (Especially on Mother’s Day)

luc amyot: please say yes
Journey: Yes
luc amyot: Hello, Once a merchant attempts to process your credit card for a purchase the funds are immediately placed on hold in their name to ensure the funds are available (this is called an authorization or pending hold). Once the original authorization is requested they do not send a second request stating that the transaction is declined or cancelled and the funds remain on hold. Most merchants have 15 days to claim funds from a pending authorization before the authorization is *automatically removed*. However, because of the nature of rental businesses, vehicle/equipment rental agencies and hotels have up to 46 days to claim funds from an authorization. Attached you will find the necessary form to have a Pending Authorization released back to your prepaid Titanium Plus card account. Please provide this form to the merchant. All fields must be completed before the merchant faxes or emails it back to Customer Service. FAX: 1-866-519-1309 Email: *** NOTE: if this is regarding a pending authorization from a vehicle rental, the merchant must also include a copy of the Final Rental Agreement or the authorization cannot be released.

Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: July 21, 2026
At The VoIP Hub, we believe you deserve to know exactly how we make money. In short: we may be paid when you choose a provider we work with, and that never changes the honest, independent nature of our recommendations.
How We Make Money
The VoIP Hub is an independent advisory and information service. We do not sell phone service ourselves, and we do not charge you to use our site or speak with an advisor. We are compensated in these ways:
1. Referral and advisor compensation. When you request a quote and choose to move forward with a provider through one of our independent advisors, we may receive a referral fee, commission, or ongoing residual payment from that provider or through the agency partners we work with. This is how our advisory service stays free to you.
2. Affiliate arrangements. From time to time, some of the links, buttons, or provider listings on our site may be affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for a service, we may receive a commission from that provider, at no additional cost to you.
3. Display advertising. Some pages — including certain residential phone service articles — display third-party ads served through Google AdSense and other networks. We earn revenue when these ads are shown or clicked. These ads are selected by the ad network, not by us, and their presence is not an endorsement. Ad networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits; you can manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
4. Amazon Associates. The VoIP Hub is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an Amazon link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
How This Affects What You See
Because we have these relationships, compensation may influence which providers we feature, the order in which they appear, and how prominently they are displayed. Not every provider pays us, and not every provider is listed. What compensation does not do is change the honest information we provide or override our advisors' job, which is to recommend the option that genuinely fits your needs and budget.
Currently, the "Request Quote" buttons and provider listings on our site connect you with our independent advisor rather than sending you to a paid affiliate link. If that changes for any listing, this disclosure already covers it.
Ratings and Reviews
Ratings and reviews on our site include both our own editorial assessments and reviews submitted by site visitors. User-submitted ratings reflect the opinions of those individuals, not The VoIP Hub. We do not allow providers to pay for a higher rating.
FTC Disclosure
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and its guidance on affiliate and material-connection disclosures.
Terms of Service
Last updated: July 21, 2026
By accessing or using thevoiphub.com (the "Site"), operated by The VoIP Hub, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
What We Do
The VoIP Hub is an independent advisory and information service for business and residential VoIP phone services. We publish reviews, comparisons, and guides; display ratings including visitor-submitted reviews; connect you with an independent advisor when you request a quote; and participate in affiliate and referral arrangements.

About The VoIP Hub
Since 2008, we've helped businesses small and large find the right phone service. Along the way, we watched the "free quote" industry turn into something we didn't want to be part of — submit one form, and suddenly 6 salespeople are calling because your info got sold to every provider at once.
So we built the opposite: one independent advisor who works for you, not a list of providers who paid to reach you. Your request goes to a single advisor who compares dozens of providers, brings you the options that actually fit, and lets you decide. One point of contact. No pressure. No wall of sales calls.
Independent — we compare the market, not a favored few.
Advisor-led — a real person helps you choose; you're never just a lead to be sold.
Your info stays yours — it goes to your advisor, not to a list of providers.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 21, 2026
The VoIP Hub ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through thevoiphub.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to these practices.
The short version: when you request a quote, your information goes to your independent advisor — not to a list of providers, and we do not sell it.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you submit a quote request or contact form, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email, phone number, ZIP code, and details about your phone system needs. When you submit a rating or review, we collect the content you post.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed, through cookies and similar technologies.
How We Use Your Information
We use it to connect you with an independent advisor and prepare your requested quote; respond to your questions; publish reviews or ratings you submit; operate, analyze, and improve the Site; serve and measure advertising; and comply with legal obligations.
How Your Quote Information Is Shared
When you submit a quote request, your contact information is provided to an independent advisor who works with you directly. It is not sold to multiple providers, and we do not operate as a lead-selling service that distributes your details to a list of companies.
If, during the advisory process, you choose to move forward with a specific provider, your advisor may share the information necessary to set up service with that provider you selected. That is a step you direct, not something that happens automatically.
When You Contact an Advisor
By submitting a quote request, you consent to be contacted by The VoIP Hub and/or your independent advisor by phone, text, or email, using the details you provide, including through automated technology. Consent is not a condition of any purchase, and you may opt out at any time by replying STOP to texts, using the unsubscribe link in emails, or contacting us.

We get a lot of comments and emails here about magicJack, and more specifically, the problems people are having with it.
i would love the magic jack if i could figure out why my incoming calls are getting a busy signal. thats the only problem i have,but it’s a big one. i’m not really experienced with computers but i’m learning. i think it’s something to do with the computer. i just bought a brand new compaq presario windows vista in feb 09. if any one can help or has had this problem please contact me. thank you cindy.
I am a computer programmer, and i have a “MJ” and I have not been able to get it to work right since about a month after i bought it. I have even talked to (well “chatted”) with the people at the MJ company and they could not figure out the problem either, so I am sorry but I have to say it sux!
What kind of “computer programmer” are you, Fred?
I love it when people toss out a general term, hoping that it qualifies them as an expert in the eyes of all that read their comment.
Just because you know a few things about a few things, it doesn’t automatically qualify you to say it sucks.
Please clarify what your problems were, what you were experiencing, and what exactly you worked on with the magicjack customer service.
Then, we might qualify your comment as valid.
Just saying that it sucks smells troll like….
My two cents….
Having lots of problems with magicjack . when I am working on something else their popup comercial blocks part of my screen making it impossible to work. Then i try to make an out of state calls I get a busy signal. and I try thd solutions thet offer I get all kind of offers of a free trial. Heck I already bought the damn thing, They need to put a complete set of instructions step by step in our emails instead of confusing the hell out of us. Ernest Co,e
I bought 10 magicjack last month, and they are perfect and no problem at all. Besides, you safe thousand bucks evey year compare to others on the market right now. I recommed friend to buy this product. ..:)
I bought Magic Jack and I’m very pleased. At first, I thought I had a problem with voice breaking up, but it turned out to be the phone I was using. I’m using FIOS and wireless to the tower and quality is as good as any phone I’ve ever used. I do not expect people to call me back as there will be a long distance charge for them if they don’t have Magic Jack. One bad thing is that I have an Alabama number and most people think it is a telemarketer. I believe that by listening to many people who have bought units and are unsatisfied , that many are not computer savvy…and one should at least know the basics. So far, a fabulous device for what I need.
They do not offer a listing for magic jack owners…and privacy is maintained.
Probably better to buy locally than through the internet.
Great product!
Bought two and they work fine. Sent one to a family member to use in Japan and he has called us in New York many times with again no problems.
Don’t be so quick to think that Magic Jack is not a rip-off. I am currently in dispute with the company by way of complaint with the BBB of Southeast Florida. My charge? That Magic Jack did intentionally and without my authorization charge my debit card (which I was told they no longer do!) for the full purchase price to be withdrawn TWO days after I looked into their “free 30 day trial”. Finding contact information on these people is like pulling teeth. You can’t find it, or I should say, they hide it well for I did eventually discover all the contact information necessary to file a complaint against them. This started out as a venture to uncover the hidden cost of the product (as their service is not available in my area, I have no reason to want one). The main problem is that the website is poorly laid out and they don’t tell you what the “free” trial will cost until AFTER you have entered your information not BEFORE as it should be. I am spreading the word of the illegal practices of this company and it’s false claims. Don’t be sucked in! Do a search on Magic Jack complaints before contacting these people and, perhaps, getting yourself into a situation that can only bring you grief.
My Magic Jack works as advertized but everyone I talk to tells me that the sound quality is terrible on the receiving end. I hear them crystal clearly. Does anyone have a solution to that problem?
Thanks!
I have had the MagicJack for 5 days now and it worked fantastically for 2 days. however it isn’t working now and I have 3 days of working with countless agents to fix the situation and my patience is running a bit thin, but I will continue to work with them until the issue is fixed. I just hope it happens soon because I have only had 40% up time since I bought it…
I have the mj and have been using it for about a month now. Overall I am totally satisfied with the mj. I have a couple of issues that I see other people have written about which I have solved. First, the popup that starts when the computer is turned on – the fix is to turn on the computer and walk away for about 10 min, come back and minimize the popup and that no longer is a problem. Second, when I am downloading software to my computer I do not have a clear connection – the fix is to do my computer maintenance and upgrades when I am not on the phone. Third, I had one occurance of not being able to connect to the website to stop forwarding calls to my cell phone – I chatted online with a rep that also experienced the same problem and his fix was to try another browser – That was the wrong fix and after a while the site was back up and I could change the call forwarding. I have found that in my case, the problems I have experienced have generally been because of my lack of patience and not fully understanding that mj is a great bargain for the price and is not designed to be a telephone company with lots of extra staff and additional cost to support that staff being passed on to me.
A suggestion for anyone with sound quality issues. If you can hear them perfectly, but they are having issues hearing you, Echoes, garbled, etc. try lowering your microphone volume levels.

I just received my Magic Jack this week and am using Windows Vista on a Dell XPS laptop with Cable Internet connection.
I have had a few issues of frustration, but quickly learned it was user error!
I would suggest you having SOME computer knowledge before attempting to use Magic Jack.
If you are a college student such as myself, this is excellent!
Also remember you are not on a dedicated land line – you are on the internet, speeds vary at certain times, so your service will vary some also. But for the most part you should have no issues.
i just bought the majic jack from circuit city. I was reading a lot of comments and complaints about unauthorized charges /scam from this company and whatever. i paid with a credit card at this store, and im wondering if majic jack (if they do have unauthorized charges) would be able to pull my information from the store.
Also, i just installed it and it took me about 10 mins. it will only work with the firewall off even with exeptions thought. but so far so good.
Well see how it goes.
My wife bought the MJ sice it was a hell of a lot cheaper than adding digital phone to our cable package. This little thing is AWESOME! I have made calls from it, and also been on the calling end calling my wife and the voice quality is crystal clear. I havent had one problem with busy signals or incomplete calls (unless you count the one time my wife shut down the computer and calls would go straight to voicemail). This little device does the EXACT same thing that my cable company does with their digital phone service, but it doesnt cost me an extra $30 a month. We bought this at a store (walgreens I believe) so MJ didnt really have any of our info, but we also paid the discounted 5 yr plan when we setup the MJ, other than the charge we authorized (for the 5 years prepaid), no other “surprise” charges have shown up. Between the device and the extra payment for 5 years of service, I paid a little over $100 to have my phone service for a total of 6 years….. that would have only been 3 months with my cable company! Now if only I could find a MJ add-in for media center I would be set (since the device is now connected to a dedicated HTPC).
Initially had problems with unit bought at walmart, it seemed to be an open unit when I purchased it, didnt realize till i got it home and it didnt work. Eventually decided to try again, picked up one at radio shack. If you buy it locally YOU MUST upgrade it because it’s been sitting on a shelf while the web has moved on. No problems after upgrade initially.
Unfortunately now I cant call the main number I got it for, seems to be a problem linked to the phone company my mom uses. Cant call her, cant call Etex coop’s offices. Etex apparently upgraded their wireless service and somehow messed up my magicjack’s ability to call my mom. I agree with a previous comment. Customer chat can be a bit frustrating in today’s “I want it NOW era,” but I’m trying to be patient while they work on it, just a bit hard to trust that someone is actually doing something with no eta on a fix and only a faceless chat to deal with takes a little getting used to. As the early post mentioned, patience is a virtue, just hope they can fix the issue or may have to return it since this is the main number I need to call. (Especially on Mother’s Day)

Journey: Yes
luc amyot: Hello, Once a merchant attempts to process your credit card for a purchase the funds are immediately placed on hold in their name to ensure the funds are available (this is called an authorization or pending hold). Once the original authorization is requested they do not send a second request stating that the transaction is declined or cancelled and the funds remain on hold. Most merchants have 15 days to claim funds from a pending authorization before the authorization is *automatically removed*. However, because of the nature of rental businesses, vehicle/equipment rental agencies and hotels have up to 46 days to claim funds from an authorization. Attached you will find the necessary form to have a Pending Authorization released back to your prepaid Titanium Plus card account. Please provide this form to the merchant. All fields must be completed before the merchant faxes or emails it back to Customer Service. FAX: 1-866-519-1309 Email: *** NOTE: if this is regarding a pending authorization from a vehicle rental, the merchant must also include a copy of the Final Rental Agreement or the authorization cannot be released. Thank you, Sean W @ Customer Service This message is intended only for the named recipient(s) above and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law. If you have received this message in error, or are not the named recipient(s), please immediately notify the sender and destroy this message.
