Tips for blocking telemarketers
We recommend that you register your magicJack telephone number(s) on the National Do Not Call Registry (found at www.donotcall.gov). The National Do Not Call Registry allows you to opt out of receiving telemarketing. Most telemarketers will not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days.
If you continue to receive telemarketing calls after 31 days have passed, you can file a complaint on the www.donotcall.gov website.
No, we do not offer Do Not Disturb.
Block unwanted calls from automated calling systems, telemarketers and others.
This feature screens ALL non-magicJack callers who dial your magicJack number, including telemarketers and others. Stop nuisance automated dialer services from completing calls to your magicJack phone(s).
When Automated Call Screening is OFF, no filtering of your callers will take place and all calls will ring normally on your magicJack phone(s).
When Automated Call Screening is ON and a non-magicJack caller attempts to call your magicJack phone number listed to the left, the caller will be asked to dial a random one digit number. When calls come from an automated service, it is unlikely the service will provide the requested digit and the call will be disconnected. However, if the caller does push the requested digit within the 12 second window, the call will ring normally on your magicJack phone(s).
While this feature will protect you from many automated calls attempting to sell promotions, it will apply this filter to ALL non-magicJack phone numbers, which may include doctor’s offices, airlines, schools, and more. Please consider this in your decision.
