Magic Jack problem still exists: I want to change my phone number.

I want to change my assigned Magic Jack phone number and area code so my friends can call me free of charge. I live in the 925 area code and I was assigned a 650 area code. I can call out free but AT&T charges my friends long distance rates to call me! So, since the process of signing up includes the questions and answers for a phone number, I would like to do that process again and change my number. Is this possible? Or do I need to go out and buy another Magic Jack to get a different number within a new sign up? Why is this question so difficult to answer? And why aren't live expert operators available for this kind of situation?

    When ever someone dials my magic jack number, 816-659-6238, it goes to call forwarding and does not ring in my home.

You should be able to get a MagicJack number with the 925 area code. http://www.magicjack.com/action/areacodes?inpArea=&selCountry=USA&inpCountry=USA&selState=CA lists several Walnut Creek exchanges. These numbers probably weren't available when you initially signed up. Log into your MagicJack account at http://my.magicjack.com/ . Then click on the Phone Numbers tab then choose Add a Number. Select the U.S. Number option and then choose the 925 area code and the city prefix. You will have to pay a new phone number fee but you will be able to link this number to your MagicJack account soon after activation is complete.

I hope this helps.

Question: is the magicJack plugged directly into the USB port on the computer or through a USB hub? If it's plugged into a hub, try plugging it directly to the port on the machine.

SOURCE: Gateway MT3421 Laptop start-up Issues

Start by removing the battery completely, and plugging the power cord into the wall socket. If the power indicator light comes on at the converter on the cord, your power cord is fine. Then plug the power cord into the computer. If the computer starts up you know the power cord connection on the computer is not the problem. Now witrh the power cord plugged in install the battery if the needs charge light comes on you probably do need a new battery as the cells often do go dead after a period of time and wont hold a charge, this will cause the LCD screen to go black or gray, but NOT BLUE. Borrow a friends monitor and plug it into your computer as an external monitor and press the function key to toggle to external monitor. Now try to restart, if screen shows activity you can atleast check out your computer. You may want to test your connections andf then itry placing your hard drive into another similar computer and see if the same thing happens, if it does your hard drive may have a failure. You can transfer all the info from your hard drive to an external drive through a patch cable available online at circuit city for between $7-25. The two that are most useful are the CTG Laptop to IDE Hard drive adapter item C184-17705 and the Ultras USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA cable adapter item UL740112 depending on what type of hard drive connections you have. Once you transfer your information to an external you can try to restore your computer using the original system restore disk that came with the computer. Set to boot from disk and away you go... If this does not work you may have a bad hard drive or possibly the mother board. If the mother board is bad you may want to just keep the computer for spare parts as it might not be worth the cost of repairs. If it is the hard drive you can get good quality Hitachi Harddrives reasonable (for less than $90 for upto 600 GIGS on line again at circuit city without any shipping cost and will have it within a couple of days.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Laptop will not charge battery. Issue with internal power converter, etc.

The motherboard has charging circuits built in to regulate the charge to the main battery, in rare causes it fails leaving a choice to attempt a repair or replace the motherboard. I suspect this is what has happened to your system.

How can I change my magic jack telephone number?

The MagicJack service allows customers to place and receive phone calls through a computer instead of a traditional phone line. Unlike a landline, MagicJack allows people to select a state and area code for their personal number. Users can also customize a vanity number to make their contact information more memorable. If a customer moves to a new city or would like a different vanity number, he can quickly make this change from the MagicJack website. Step 1 Access your MagicJack online account (see link in the Resources section). Enter the phone number and password associated with the account, and press "Login."
Step 2 Select the "Phone Numbers" menu tab. Click the option labelled "View - Renew - Add." Choose "Add a Phone Number."
Step 3 Choose one of the listed options for the new number. Select "Vanity Number" if you wish to customize your phone number. Standard U.S. and Canadian number options are also available.
Step 4 Check the box marked "I elect to accept free outgoing service." This allows free outgoing calls to phones in the United States. MagicJack must ask this question for legal purposes. If you leave the box unchecked, the MagicJack service will only accept incoming calls.
Step 5 Confirm that you wish to change the MagicJack number. Click "I understand and would like to change my number." Select a state, area code and city for the new number.
Step 6 Press the "I Want to Choose..." button to set the last four digits of the number, or click "No Thanks. I want the last four digits assigned automatically" to receive a random number.
Step 7 Click the "Checkout" button. Fill out the requested payment information to complete the transaction. As of September 2012, the standard fee to change a MagicJack number is $10. Vanity numbers may require an additional fee.

Magicjack will not work in minnesota in 320 it work last year .Im disalbed (brain injury) and have a hard time ..............imposable to call the doctors or clinic help me...

Please be absolutely sure its not an installation issue before using the the following suggestions. Magic Jacks are a little tempermental, often an uninstall/re-install is the real Magic. Remember to turn your volume up before clicking. Here's the You Tube Video.

Magic Jack offers only one, free, Area Code/Phone Number change. If yours is an issue which requires keeping your area code local to those who call you, click the following: Area Code look-up and use your State (not the area code), to find many area codes that is considered local to the people who call you. I found that 612 should be local to 320.

It only matters that you use the 320 code, to the people calling you; if they only have basic service and they cannot call you unless you are local, to them? Simply use the area code look-up website to find other area codes that are also local to 320, that are acceptable to you. There is a "contact us" link on that page, if you cannot find a local code using the web site.

Here is the Magic Jack Support phone number, if you cannot use the Magic Jack, you obviously can't use it to contact them by clicking the link above; this is The Chat Web Site. They can connect you, to your jack from their end, they can change your number for you and if your number is still available in a different area code they can transfer your number from (EXAMPLE: 320-789-4321 to 612-789-4321 if it is available) there may be an additional fee for that. Explain your situation and that it did work, but stopped working, since it isn't your fault, you could ask to change your number at no charge (it never hurts to ask, they could only say no and you would have had to pay to keep the number anyway ;-)
