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

SHAKEN/STIR stands for Secure Handling of Asserted information using toKENS / Secure Telephony Identity Revisited. This is a solution mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that uses digital signatures to authenticate the source of phone calls. SHAKEN/STIR is intended to increase trust that the information on a caller ID display is accurate and is not being misrepresented or spoofed.

For calls that come into the magicJack network, caller ID details may either indicate Scam Likely or Verified.

To help address the growing amount of fraudulent robocalls, magicJack has implemented SHAKEN/STIR caller authentication technology that uses industry-wide call verification standards. SHAKEN/STIR intends to combat caller ID spoofing which is used by robocallers to mask their identity or to make it appear the call is from a legitimate source.

For calls that come into the magicJack network, caller ID details may either indicate Scam Likely or Verified.

NOTE: Some carriers may not yet support or are unable to provide SHAKEN/STIR details. As a result, some calls may not have Verified or Scam Likely indicated.

For calls that come into the magicJack network, caller ID details may either indicate Scam Likely or Verified. The Scam Likely or Verified indicators will be displayed in the caller ID details when receiving calls using the magicJack mobile app, magicJack desktop app, or for compatible phones with caller ID displays connected to a magicJack.

The caller ID details will normally indicate Verified for calls that pass SHAKEN/STIR verification standards. If you receive a verified call from a phone number that is already entered in your address book, it may simply display the caller ID (without being indicated as Verified.)

Calls that fail the SHAKEN/STIR standards will be marked as Scam Likely in the caller ID display. When you receive a call from a phone number entered in your address book, it may still indicate Scam Likely if the originating source fails verification.

NOTE: Some carriers may not yet support or are unable to provide SHAKEN/STIR details. As a result, some calls may not have Verified or Scam Likely indicated.

Currently SHAKEN/STIR applies to phone calls only. However, work is on-going in the communications industry to evaluate the best authentication method for SMS / text messaging.

Calls that originate from an unverified source may be marked as Scam Likely in the caller ID display. You can choose to ignore (not answer) or add them to your block list.

Similarly, if you have enabled voicemail via email, the subject line of the voice email will also indicate either Scam Likely or Verified to help you filter the email messages more easily.
