Apparently, a lot of people out there are trying to track down a valid Magic Jack phone number. And apparentltly, this is because Magic Jack does not make it easy to find their phone number, or other contact information. Before I comment any further on this whole sordid affair, for those who may be looking for it (and for good reason) here it is without further ado.

Magic Jack Phone Number : 281-404-1551
Magic Jack Billing Number: 561-594-2140

While we’re at it, lets throw in their contact mailing address in case you need it:

Magic Jack
PO BOX 6785
West Palm Beach, FL 33405

According to Google’s external keyword tool, about 660 people per month are searching “Magic Jack phone number”. At first, I assumed the reason for this was that they were looking for information about how to sign up for Magic Jack and either get a new phone number, or port their existing number to Magic Jack phone service. Then I found this interesting little site called UninstallMagicJack.com – easy to do since this site popped up in the number one spot when I Googled “Magic Jack phone number”.

I was really very surprised at what I read on this site. They have quotes from Rip Off Report, and many user submitted comments, all of which decry that Magic Jack is not only a very poor quality VoIP service, but that they actually install spyware and trojans (“Eula”) on their customers’ computers to track information about user’s phone calls, so that they can serve up relevant ads on customer’s PC’s. (Yikes!)

Until now, I have never heard anything like this about Magic Jack. I find it quite disappointing, because I was beginning to believe that Magic Jack was the best value for the money in VoIP phone service. But trojans? Spyware? That’s a whole nother discussion. I personally DESPISE spyware. Many internet users have no clue what it is, making it all the more unethical. It clogs up and bogs down our computer systems, in some cases causing damage and incredibly poor performance from our PCs. But I digress. My point is, no matter how “cheap” a VoIP service provider may be, it isn’t worth the damage and wasted resources and time that Spyware/Adware/Malware/Trojans can inflict.

To be fair, I have not been able to confirm this yet. I may run a new test on Magic Jack phone service, with anti-virus and spyware remover’s close at hand, to confirm or disprove the assertions being made at the above website. But, if you happen to have any experience with Magic Jack, good or bad, PLEASE visit our Magic Jack Review page, scroll to the bottom, use our little widget to rate the service from 1 to 5, and post a review of your experience. That’s the whole reason IPCompare added the user review functionality – to let real people inform each other on the quality of service and trustworthyness of each provider we rate and review here. We appreciate it, and I’m sure you’ll score plenty of good Karma for doing your fellow VoIP user such a good service!
