It looks like this has been going on for years. I'm cancelling. Told them it was illegal per FCC and misrepresentation per FTC. My chat transcript portions: Dexter: It was stated in our Terms of Service at www.magicjack.com/tos (Number 3 – B and Number 4). Some restrictions in cost prohibitive areas may apply. You will not have the ability to call any number that would require the addition of any charges to your phone bill, such as 900 or 976 numbers or any other "fee per call" type service.. Mo: Do you or your supervisor know about FCC regulation "22 FCC Rcd 11629 (2007)" Dexter: As per Terms of Service you have agreed upon registration : Section IV : Dexter: We may require prepaid purchase and/or we may charge you for calls to conference lines, platforms and certain non-ILEC area calls, or any call wherein we incur a cost from another carrier. We may provide for a fee, premium prepaid services, which may be powered by YMAX Communications Corp. (YMAX), and may include some inbound, international, conference, platform and outbound calls that receive a recording and certain calls to non-ILEC areas, and the rates for those services will be governed by listed price lists or tariffs. Dexter: If you hear that message : " To call a cOnference Line, you must purchase international minutes...", this means that the Number you are calling is on non-ILEC areas where they are not Allowing magicjack calls for free. Mo: This is not cost-prohibitive area, it is not a 900/976 number, and it is not fee per call type service. Dexter: We regret to inform you but the other end has blocked us from reaching them and we are already working on the Agreement.. I fervently wish too that the free calling will be agreed once again.. However, they are now blocking it.. In the mean time, you may able to reach them by having International minutes..
