Unlimited calling to numbers within the United States and Canada, and unlimited texting and other services provided by magicJack®, are based on normal, non-excessive use. A combination of factors is used to determine excessive use, including but not limited to the relative use when compared to the average magicJack® user, the number of unique numbers called, calls forwarded, minutes used, texts sent/received and other factors. Unlimited calling does not include calls to Alaska or the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada or calls to non-8YY calling card, platform, conference, or chat lines, for which additional fees will apply.

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2026-08-13, version 5.8.1*

Just renewed the subscription but even before that’s it doesn’t work anymore like it did years back. Calls drop or the other caller can’t hear me. It’s extremely frustrating! At this point I regret renewing it because it’s useless.

### 1/5 — It’s not working it’s bed

*2026-08-13, version 5.8.1*

Its not working

### 5/5 — Magic app

*2026-08-12, version 5.8.1*

Great app, excellent service,works around the world!

### 5/5 — Calling and text

*2026-08-12, version 5.8.1*

The best way to have all calls and texts for very few dollars per year 
O pay less than 100 Canadian dollars per year for eveything

### 5/5 — Superphone!

*2026-08-11, version 5.8.1*

I have found magicApp to be better than any cell phone service on the planet. It’s totally unbelievably convenient and economical. You can’t go wrong with it!

### 3/5 — App Works with Limitations

*2026-08-06, version 5.8.1*

The MagicJack app works great except for calls from orgs that flag VOIP as bad and never get the call. That’s understandable and maybe nothing can be done about that. It would be nice to be able to block numbers though, which I think could be added to the app. 

For texts, the same VOIP problem with some orgs. Also no images and text gets broken up into many different short segments. Maybe because VOIP has severe limitations with the SSMS protocol. And again, no way to block unwanted numbers.

### 5/5 — International user

*2026-07-30, version 5.8.1*

I have been using magicjack for so many years and is wonderful when you go international..I love it

### 1/5 — SMS NOT WORKING FOR IPHONE

*2026-07-16, version 5.8.1*

The SMS feature does not work with iPhone. Have spent time on the phone with support, submitted two tickets with no responses. Glad the calling works, but need the texting feature asap to work.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-07-13, version 5.8.1*

I can’t even create an account. I type in my first name and it tells me it can’t contain spaces or dashes etc.  it doesn’t contain them!!  I’ve had similar issues before but not with my name only!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-08, version 5.8.1*

Nice technology
