Yup. In Canada and the US, outgoing calls incur the same charge (or lack of charge) to the caller, no matter whether the destination number is a cell phone or a land line.

If you paid with a credit card, you can initiate a chargeback. Unfortunately, with unresponsive, flaky businesses there isn't much else you can do.

I wonder if you can help me. I bought a magic jack from a Canadian site http://www.themagicjack.ca two weeks ago and I haven''t received it yet. I am calling since and there is a message they refered me to the website again where there is no information at all.

I want my money back, I would like to know where can a make a complaint.

I beleive it is a SCAM.

Please help. It is not fair.

Buy it from US site on magicjack

Do not buy a Magicjack from the Canadian site.
I hope MagicJack ditches this distributor for a CANADIAN PARTNER who will provide proper customer care.

The Canadian site offer a "Canadian area code", but this area code is NOT supported by MagicJack USA. The Canadian partner has a server that forwards call from a US number to the "Canadian number" BUT THEIR SERVER IS DOWN ALL THE TIME. DOES NOT WORK.

Good luck calling the number. It has a recording say "SUCKER !!!!! call back in 48 hrs to be called a SUCKER again"

Instead go to the MagicJack.com website.
- click on "customer care/live agent"
- click "get live help in seconds"
- click "to reach a live person" (bottom of page)
- click on any of the "most requested items" (bottom of page)
- NOW click on "START CHAT" top of page

REQUEST A CANADIAN NUMBER. LET THEM KNOW THERE IS DEMAND. LET THEM KNOW THE CANADIAN RESELLER SUCKS

From what I know, the official magicJack distributor does not offer Canadian numbers yet.

If they were, in terms of local / long distance, the 519 number would act the same as if you had gotten a number from any other phone company.

magicJack does not officially claim to support fax machines, although if you do a search, people with good connections have had success sending and receiving faxes with it.

Now that they have Canadian numbers I have two questions.
1) Will the magicjack recognize a fax machine.
2) Say I choose a 519 area code. Who is local and who is long distance. Is my neighbour long distance? How will this work.
I am almost sold.
