  I renewed our custom number with ****************** 17,2023 and since then I kept receiving emails requesting to renew service. Sent magic **** a email and they responded that they apologize for my inconvenience and they ensured me they received my payment and I didnt have anything to worry about. In October 31, 2023, I no longer had service. I reached out last Thursday Nov 2, 2023 through email and received no response. I sent another message last night November 5, 2023 and received a response saying that I can no longer have this number because it was disconnected and that if I wanted this same number I had to pay even more money. I have the previous email that was sent to me when I first reached out to them and at no time was I advised I had to pay more money. I request this same number reactivated at no additional money from me.

  We received the above-referenced complaint ****************** issued to you because of his experience with magicJack.  In this complaint, he is complaining that he renewed the service but was unable to use it. Hence, he wants magicJack to reactivate the phone number for no additional money.
  
  Based on Mr. ******** account review, he submitted a billing escalation on 10/25/2023, reporting that he received a renewal notification for his subscription; however, he had already renewed it on 10/18/2023 and wants magicJack to post the amount to his account. Our support representative informed ****************** on 10/25/2023 that his account shows he has a premium number that he had not renewed and renewed the device subscription on 10/17/2023 instead.
  
  ****************** was explained that his phone number is a Custom phone number with an expiration date of 10/31/2023, and to renew his yearly number subscription, he is required to pay $3 per year plus taxes and fees separate from the device service subscription. We did not receive a response to this email; however, ****************** opened another billing escalation on 11/05/2023 and 11/06/2023 stating that we intentionally expired his phone number despite the fact that he made the payment for the yearly premium number subscription. He stated that he will file a BBB complaint because magicJack is negligent for him not having the subscription he paid for when indeed magicJack has provided the device subscription ****************** paid for on 10/17/2023. Therefore, on 11/06/2023 we responded to ********************** escalation and reiterated that he did not renew his yearly premium number subscription and included several options if he chose not to continue that specific number.
  
  Upon receipt of the BBB complaint on 11/07/2023, we sent a follow-up email to ****************** on 11/08/2023 once again explaining that his premium phone number ************** is a U.S. Custom phone number and that it requires a yearly subscription that is not included with the magicJack device subscription. We provided steps for renewing the phone number subscription online, along with advising him to contact sales if he needs assistance with the renewal process. However, we haven't received any response to date, and his premium phone number ************** is still expired. Hence,we added a 30-day courtesy renewal to his number to avoid him losing the number permanently because of its inactive status. We suggest ****************** renew his Custom phone number subscription to use the service before it expires on 12/13/2023. He will receive an order summary showing the one-month subscription at zero dollars. In addition to that, an auto-renewal reminder for his premium phone number **************. He does not need to keep the auto-renewal option on; therefore, we suggest ****************** renew his number and turn off the auto-renewal for future renewals. For any additional help, he can reply to our email or email us, including the BBB complaint ID number in the subject line,at ******************************************.

  I am rejecting this response because:I responded each and every time magic **** responded to my email messages.  I was told that i was unable to get that number back because it was off. Prior to this service being turned off I received emails sayid. I had to renew service and I had already paid for the renewal on 10/17/2023. I reached out to magic **** a well later advising them that I was receiving this email and to let them know that payment has been received and that nothing else was needed and they apologized for the inconvenience.  The next thing I know thr service was cut off and has been off since 10/31/2023.   When I reached out to them November 2nd I received no response. I reached out to them again on November 5th. No response. I reached out to them again on that following Sunday or Monday and I was advised that since the service was off I couldnt get that number. Then I was advised that if I wanted that same number I had to pay $10.00. Its not that fact of paying  the amount requested its the fact that Magic **** failed to disclose this information when I first reached out about I then I advise them of the emails I was receiving. This could have been rectified way before the service was cut off .  Further more if there is additional fees required when e are to renew service this should be all included in the renewal charges and not separate.   Magic **** needs to streamline this so things like this will not happen. Im sure this happens more times than I know. Magic **** do BETTER! 
  
  Sincerely,

  In reviewing Mr. ******** complaint details, please be advised that when ****************** sent an email on 10/25/2023, he was explained that his phone number is a Custom phone number with an expiration date of 10/31/2023,and to renew his yearly number subscription, he is required to pay $3 per year plus taxes and fees separate from the device service subscription. As the phone number expired on 10/31/2023, he was informed that the number has been deactivated.
  
  Therefore, a decision was made by magicJack reactivated the phone number for 1 month to avoid him losing the number permanently because of its inactive status. Hence, we suggest ****************** renew his Custom phone number subscription ($3 per year + taxes and fees) to use the service before it expires on 12/13/2023. Please note that, as per Section 7 of the Subscriber Agreement available at www.magicJack.com/saps, a small non-refundable fee may apply for additional features such as Vanity, Custom, ********, and Ported Numbers.

  For some reason MagicJack decided to start charging me $55 dollars a month for information on repairing the system. I don't need or want the service and wish they'd stop charging me.

  Business Response

  Date: 10/31/2023

  We received the above-referenced complaint **************** issued to you because of his experience with magicJack. In this complaint, **************** complains that we at magicJack are charging $55 a month for repairing the system.
  
  We were unable to locate the exact account, as the details provided in the BBB complaint did not match any account in our records. A follow-up email was sent on 10/25/2023 to the email address we have in complaint, advising **************** to verify account details. We have also informed **************** that magicJack will not charge its customers for support on device and account-related issues, and we also do not have any monthly service plans costing $55.00.
  
  As **************** claimed that the monthly charge is shown as $55.00, we requested that **************** provide us with a copy of the bill, along with the charges appearing in the banking statements, to help us check further. However, we haven't received any response to date.
  
  Therefore, we suggested that **************** reply with the details requested in the follow-up email we sent for any additional assistance or write to us directly at ******************************************,including the BBB complaint ID number in the subject line.
  
  We hope **************** is satisfied with the above information.

  I have the magic **** stand alone app. As a result there is no associated address on file. I wanted to port my magic **** ****** over to my cell phone as a second line. Tmobile needed a zip code in order to complete it, however due to there not being an associated address on file it cannot complete. I have been working on this for over the past month. I have called magic **** several times and was only able to get through to a human one time, he guided me to submit a request online and prompted me on exactly how to do so. I did this 3 weeks ago and have yet to have a response back. I submitted a second request last week and still have not been helped. I had been emailing back and forth with customer service who was not listening to what I needed, nor helping, and then they stopped emailing me back. No one has helped me and I simply just need an address added on file, due to the negligent responses and how much effort and contact I have attempted with them, I decided to file a complaint with the BBB to see if it will help me gain any traction.

I called majicjack at least 4 times and every time I got a reference number and I was told to wait for an email. Yesterday Oct 13th 2023 I called again and csr told me to change the pin to ** digits and try. I did and the same rejection results. I called my new provider and they informed me to have majicjack to do a manual response, but majicjack csr informed me that they don't do that. FYI I use the pin to log into majicjack without any issues, so majicjack is the side that is not providing support to my new provider to port the number.I need this number ported ASAP. Thank you.

  Company accused me of violating section 6 fraud. Someone must have hacked my account and sent phone calls all over the country. I was getting calls people saying returning your call and I never called them. I checked my online account and no device was listed. Called them told me my account was dead. Sent an email to them asking why my account was dead they told me I violated section 6 Fraud. I don't know where that came from. I hardly ever use my phone.

  Based on Ms. *********** account review, she contacted magicJack on October 3,2023, to find out why her account is restricted. Our support representative informed ************************ that due to the violation of the magicJack Subscriber agreement section 6 Proper Use, Suspicion of Fraud, we can no longer accept her business.
  
  In receipt of the BBB complaint, we have reverified once again and we were able to see fraud activity on ************************ companion App, and hence, the App has been suspended due to fraud.

  I have purchased international calling credits from MagicJack to be told that I have no available credit. I have tried to call MagicJack to resolve the issue and was told that once they reset the device and I unplugged my device for 5 minutes my issues would be resolved. This did not work and I would have to call them again and thus was told that they would have to "escalate" my case to get technical support . Which I said to them that I have no more time to waste and just wanted my money refunded. At which point I am transferred to someone in billing to be told that it was not an option available to them. And that they needed to "escalate" the request to upper management and that I would get a refund in **** business days providing they approve of the request. I am tired of company trying to tie-up money which they are not ***********. Plus their technical support is a joke and you are basically punching your way through their voice prompts to be put through an endless loop unless you happen to pick the right options to actually speak with a "customer service representative". Also even though I was unable to call using any of my $10usd international calling credit, it shows that I only have $9.97 balance.

  We received the above-referenced complaint ************ issued to you because of his experience with magicJack. In this complaint, ************ complains of his inability to call international numbers and wants us, magicJack to issue a refund.

  Upon reviewing ************** account, *********** purchased $10 *** credits on 09/29/2023 for the number ************** but was unable to make calls to *****. Hence, he contacted our tech support on 09/30/2023 and 10/05/2023. Our support representative informed ************ to unplug and re-plugged the device as they had refreshed the network. ************ was not at home, and he was also asking about the *** balance and why it shows $9.97 instead of $10.00. Our support representative tried helping the customer escalate this further, but ************ denied it and asked for a refund. As *********** was unable to use the *** minutes and was insisting on a refund, a refund of $13.82 (USD) was processed on 10/06/2023. Also, a follow-up email was sent on 10/06/2023 informing him of the same. We advise ************ to wait for 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect on his bank statements.

  While we are sorry for any difficulties,he may have faced in using our service, we would like to assure him that customer satisfaction is our highest priority. We hope ************ is satisfied with the above information.

  We discontinued our phone service with Magic **** at end of 2021 by porting out our phone number, but they kept charging our credit card in 2022 and 2023 without sending us notification for these charges. We asked them for the refund of these 2 charges totaling $100, but they refused to refund us the money, saying we should have stopped the auto payment and pay more attention to our credit bill. When a customer port out the phone number from a carrier, it means the services is no longer needed, but Magic **** has extremely poor customer service and dishonest policy. We demand the refund and we would like to warn others about their bad business practice.

  We received the above-referenced complaint ************** issued to you because of his experience with magicJack. In this complaint, he complains of being charged by magicJack for the years 2022 and 2023 and wants us to issue a refund for both charges.
  
  Based on Mr. ****** account review, he ported out his phone number to a different carrier in December 2021,but there is still a US-free phone number on his account. As the Auto Renew option was turned on, we sent 30-day and 7-day renewal reminders to the primary email address on the account before the subscription got auto-renewed in 2022 as well as in 2023. However, we havent received any response from ************** to stop the auto-renewal; hence, the subscription got auto-renewal.

  In receipt of his BBB complaint, we sent a follow-up email on September 20, 2023,to *********************** asking to verify the primary email address on the account as the email address provided in the complaint does not match the email address on his account. However, we also see that ************** sent an email to ****************************************** inquiring about the charges. While reviewing the request, we received a dispute from his bank for the magicJack charges in the amount of $49.56 dated 09/20/2023. As a result, the magicJack account is restricted from processing any account-related actions. We are awaiting the outcome of the dispute from his bank, which may take up to 45 or 75 days. Once we have a result, an appropriate adjustment will be made to his account. Hence,we advise ************** to wait for the outcome of the chargeback.

  I ordered the magicjack device and the 3yr renewal. I was not informed that a separate device is required on each phone at my residence. The device only connects one phone.

  I purchased this device at my ************* a week ago. Everthing was fine until I went to register. I am unable to start an account because their *** system doesn't recognize the city I live in. ************, **. ****** people. Not a vaild city!!!!? I've been asked by customer service to just find a fake address to try and use. "Just change it later." they said. The system would take it then?A simple scrutiny of the *** return? No. Provide me with an address, I can use? No. Ask the customer to commit the fraud. Contact with a supervisor who could do something? Still waiting on that one.I want them to follow through on activation. Instead they suggested I return the item for a refund.

  I received an email from MagicJack.  In this email, they essentially asked me to repeat everything I had already done. They also asked for a reply with information about the carrier, browser, operating system, etc. as if they were interested in solving the problem. I tried to send this, but they sent their request from a no reply email account and my reply bounced.

  At this point I don't see how a resolution is possible. I have scheduled my current service to expire next week. I am forced to look for another VoiP carrier and return their device as they show little interest in giving me an account and activating the device.

  This is the email I received.

  I STILL after all of my efforts do not know if the problem was with the network, my phone, or with the magicjack device.  Can't be fixed.  I have moved on and acquired other service for my landline phone.  I'm satisfied the company has done all it can to resolve the issue, even though that resulted in failure.  

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. 

  Sincerely,
