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.

Yes, we do support 911 calling from magicApp. However, make sure that you are using the updated version of magicApp. To download latest version of magicApp, please visit - the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
