Re: Let it end.
1. MJ is the snake-oil of the new age. Sad comment on the power of marketing.
2. The poster in this thread crying about losing business/commissions is either a fool or is BS'ing us. Why would ANYONE rely on MJ or any travel VoIP for business-essential purposes? And if it failed, what's wrong with the hotel/phone booth? |

this has nothing to do with the OP. Either it sucks or it doesn't.

Perhaps this thread should die now. The OP never returned, and it was over a month ago. |

Re: Why MJ sucks
I hate it when that happens.
I can really sympathize with this problem, because I had a similar one. I was in the middle of overthrowing a small country when my Magic Jack crapped out. It was very frustrating - I really needed to call in my backup mercenaries because we were getting our butts kicked. Thank goodness I found my son's Radio Shack walkie talkie in my briefcase, so I was at least able to call my plane crew and tell them to get ready for takeoff. I jumped on my Vespa and got to the airport just in time to escape with my life.
I lost millions on this operation, and billions I would have made exploiting that country's mineral wealth.
I now have a team of mercenaries and attorneys looking into how we can best recover damages from MJ. |

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that you let a 12K commission go down the tube over a lousy phone call. My god, you could have called from your hotel or even a payphone and still come out way ahead. What were you thinking?
I hate to be judgmental about other people's situations, but were you thinking "I paid for this f*cking service and damn it, they're going to make it work or I'll just blow this job and sue them" or what?

I am now looking into other alternatives.
You could load the Skype app onto your iphone, or ipod touch with os3 and a headset.
Seems to work OK for me, but then I don't do most of my business from Starbucks and am quite happy using a regular phone in a hotel. |

Re: Why MJ sucks
If you are so cheap as to try to do serious business using a MJ phone that's 20 bucks a YEAR, then your legal team must be headed by Rufus T. Firefly.
Sheesh. Give us a break.

The problem is you have to bring:
The MJ Dongle
An Old Landline Telephone
An Extension Cord
A Silver Satin Phone Cord
And if needed, a place to plug in your phone to an electrical outlet.
*Followed by more complaining......*
Did you not know/consider this before purchasing? "MJ sucks" because of your misunderstanding/wanting to hack it/whatever...?
Other than the occasional glitch, MJ works pretty much like they said it would. All for $20 year. No one forced you to buy the 5 year package either.
Yikes. |
