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.

No, we do not offer Do Not Disturb.

Block unwanted calls from automated calling systems, telemarketers and others.

This feature screens ALL non-magicJack callers who dial your magicJack number, including telemarketers and others. Stop nuisance automated dialer services from completing calls to your magicJack phone(s).

When Automated Call Screening is OFF, no filtering of your callers will take place and all calls will ring normally on your magicJack phone(s).

When Automated Call Screening is ON and a non-magicJack caller attempts to call your magicJack phone number listed to the left, the caller will be asked to dial a random one digit number. When calls come from an automated service, it is unlikely the service will provide the requested digit and the call will be disconnected. However, if the caller does push the requested digit within the 12 second window, the call will ring normally on your magicJack phone(s).

While this feature will protect you from many automated calls attempting to sell promotions, it will apply this filter to ALL non-magicJack phone numbers, which may include doctor’s offices, airlines, schools, and more. Please consider this in your decision.

To setup Automated Call Screening for your magicJack number:

• First, log into your account at

  my.magicJack.com

• Next, hover over Call Features

  

• Select Automated Call Screening

  

• Select Click Here To Enable

Please read and review the following information carefully:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently adopted an ENHANCED 911 (E911) VoIP Order that requires some service providers, to inform their customers of any differences between the E911 access capabilities available with their service as compared to the E911 access capability available with traditional telephone service.

magicJack, LP (“magicJack”) is not obligated to provide E911 service under the recently adapted FCC E911 VoIP Order, but it has chosen to voluntarily offer E911 service where available. There are important differences between magicJack’s E911 service and E911 access capabilities of traditional telephone service. It is important that you understand how these differences affect your ability to access E911 services. For example, in certain circumstances, you may not be able to contact emergency services by dialing 9-1-1 using the magicJack device.

We ask that you carefully read this E911 Disclosure and follow the advice and instructions strictly, for your safety’s sake.

The FCC’s E911 VoIP decision also requires some service providers to obtain and keep a record on file showing that you have received and understood this E911 Disclosure. magicJack appreciates your assistance in our voluntarily E911 service offering by checking the applicable box on the registration screen.

You may obtain a copy of the FCC regulation and accompanying E911 VoIP decision in Docket No. 05-196 at the following link: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/voip911order.pdf.

You should never dial 911 in a non-emergency situation or “test” your 911 service. Dialing 911, in a non-emergency situation, is a crime and many locales prosecute offenders.
