Note: If your magicJack is plugged into a computer, you might have to use a powered USB hub when using multiple phones in order to generate sufficient power from the USB port.

If you have a computer with a mic and speakers, you can also use it as a speaker phone the same way you would with a traditional telephone. A headset may also be used but is not required.

magicJack will only provide one line of telephone service.

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.

Free US and Canada calling does not include calls to Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada, or calls to non-8YY calling card, platform, conference, or chat lines, for which additional fees will apply.
