said by slyphoxj:Folks who have ported out of MJ have complained that MJ sends them an extortion email saying that they have to cough up $30 (or some other $ amount) to port their number out and that the port will go through even if this email is ignored and the extortion fee isn't paid.
MagicJack: If you are in the US, the FCC rules say that an outbound port cannot be delayed/denied solely because of outstanding fees, even though it does allow the porting fees to be billed.
Comwave: The Canadian CRTC says that Comwave can do whatever it wants. That's the basic CRTC prime directive anyway.
Hence the difference.
