You’ll have no trouble ordering, but their “customer service” is HORRIBLE. They deliberately drag things out, claim one thing and then the opposite, pass you to different representatives who then contradict what the other one told you, and they sometimes suddenly have trouble with English or typing, yet have no trouble at other times. They are very polite, yet totally ineffectual and unethical.
After reading Amazon reviews, I decided to cancel my order less than 1 hour after placing it. The first day, I wasted 3+ hours during 3 different “live chat sessions” with MagicJack’s customer service representatives, getting nowhere. They could process the order enough to gain pre-authorization from my credit card company (I checked), but couldn’t access the records to cancel my order and after wasting as much time as they could, would finally tell me to try again later. The next day, I tried again and STILL don’t know whether or not they cancelled my order. Here is the exact transcript of that half-hour interaction:
NOTE: I used * symbols to make notes to you the reader. And, I put *** on important comments.

Me: I’m contacting UPN news problem solvers if you charge my card and do not cancel my order. I will take this as far as I must, even if that means small claims court
Them: *they typed my full name in all capital letters and bold, nothing else.
Me: And, I’m sending my credit card company a transcript of this conversation to make sure that they don’t pay your company one penny.
