11. Advertisements
You also understand and agree that use of the magicJackTM device and Software will include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for the magicJackTM device to work and for the service to be free in the first year of the agreement (and subsequent licenses to be at minimal cost). Advertisements will be served through the magicPageTM Software. magicPageTM Software attempts to serve local advertisements and classifieds using a completely automated process that enables us to effectively target dynamically changing content. Our computers may analyze the phone numbers you call in order to improve the relevance of the ads. We do not provide any personal information to our advertisers or third parties. magicJack has a policy of restricting advertisers that it believes are inappropriate, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or integrity of any advertisers and does not endorse any of the advertisements that may appear in connection with use of the magicJackTM device. You also understand and agree that use of the magicJackTM device and Software may include certain communications, such as service announcements, administrative messages and newsletters, and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them.

Plus none of the links work in the TOS. I am not sure if they changed their business plan and this is an old TOS.

I posted it for an FYI since I only saw it during sign up and not on the Magicjack site.

Well like I asked in other threads, how can they provide unlimited calling at this price? Well thats the answer. So if you want to use MagicJack the cost will be to have adware on your system.

ad ware and pop ups

Does this mean they cut into your calls and conversations, "Hello! We are cutting into your call to offer this discount at Joe's Pizza Parlor! Now, back to your call!"???

Or will they have pop ups on the computer etc.

If so, that kills the deal for me. I have a zero toleration policy for ad ware and pop ups.

Thanks.

Can you dial from a handset then, or do you have to dial from the computer each time?

And my house is wired internally. Will I be able to plug into this and call from any internal jack in the house?

I understand you can plug in a phone, just wondering if you can dial from the phone.

I'll check out their forum... thanks.
