Can I change my Paid App Subscription?

Yes, you can change your subscription at any time on your mobile device by going to your Apple or Google account, selecting manage subscriptions and make any needed changes there.

You cannot edit or change your service on your magicJack account site (my.magicJack.com) or with customer service, the subscriptions are managed exclusively with your device account (Apple or Google).

Can I port my number to a Paid App Subscription?

No, the Paid App subscription provides a free U.S. telephone number for use with the service.

No, the Paid App subscription allows the user to select a U.S. free telephone number only.

Text messaging to your magicApp telephone number must be coming from a 10-digit telephone number.  Short codes (like banks and verification codes) will not work with magicApp.

Can I send a group message?

Can I send a picture/video message?

No, picture/video messages (MMS) are not available.

Can I switch between Android and iOS with my Paid Mobile App only subscription?
