Please read and review the following information carefully:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently adopted an ENHANCED 911 (E911) VoIP Order that requires some service providers, to inform their customers of any differences between the E911 access capabilities available with their service as compared to the E911 access capability available with traditional telephone service.

magicJack, LP (“magicJack”) is not obligated to provide E911 service under the recently adapted FCC E911 VoIP Order, but it has chosen to voluntarily offer E911 service where available. There are important differences between magicJack’s E911 service and E911 access capabilities of traditional telephone service. It is important that you understand how these differences affect your ability to access E911 services. For example, in certain circumstances, you may not be able to contact emergency services by dialing 9-1-1 using the magicJack device.

We ask that you carefully read this E911 Disclosure and follow the advice and instructions strictly, for your safety’s sake.

The FCC’s E911 VoIP decision also requires some service providers to obtain and keep a record on file showing that you have received and understood this E911 Disclosure. magicJack appreciates your assistance in our voluntarily E911 service offering by checking the applicable box on the registration screen.

You may obtain a copy of the FCC regulation and accompanying E911 VoIP decision in Docket No. 05-196 at the following link: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/voip911order.pdf.

You should never dial 911 in a non-emergency situation or “test” your 911 service. Dialing 911, in a non-emergency situation, is a crime and many locales prosecute offenders.
