hi, there is a current promo for half the price and first --- 6 --- months are free !!!!

is this a trick? isn't the first year already included? what happens after first 6 months? do they ask to renew subscription by paying for a whole year?

thanks

What is the specific offer price and where/how did you receive the offer?

it appeared on the magicjack software (the 2012 magicjack plus). i also received an email.

basically, 48-hour sale $29.95

but if you only get 6 months, it is just playing trick with words. you will have to pay for the second 6 months ($15)

btw, i also got the 2012 mj+ the same way.

Then it seems to me you've already answered your own questions. Read elsewhere here in this forum for further details.

i meant to say that i got mj+ 2012 the same way (through a promo) but it was a full year subscription

I know.

The company has decided to start offering new MJ+'s with only 6 months' of service but at $15 less than they otherwise would charge for it. If the new device is to have its own number, at the end of the initial 6 months renewals are the usual $30/year or $100/5 years.

I thought I was getting an "extra" six months but here's what the FAQ says about it.

Please Note: If you transfer the time remaining on your current device to the NEW 2014 magicJack PLUS, you forfeit the FREE 6 months that are included with the NEW 2014 magicJack PLUS

so the actual value is $45

$30 for device + 6 months free
15$ for another 6 months

SteveHC · Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:47 pm Post subject:

The value is $45 if your situation is such that you can actually receive and make use of the 6 months of service, $30 if you can't.

Just keep in mind that the $30 offer probably really IS time-limited.

But I don't really see where it's worth it to "upgrade" to the new MJ+ device if you already have the "original" MJ+ and don't need *another* such device. But who knows, maybe there's some advantage to the "average" user that I'm not aware of.

Keep in mind that you must use the link in the email to get that $30 price. If you sign in to your account and order that way it's over $50 with tax or fees or some such.

OOPS! Just realized that the actual value of the $30 new-device deal for current subscribers is *$50* if you can make use of the 6 months of service, $35 if you can't - a little better than I originally thought.

My bad... Wink

Just received the package it was fairly impressive.

I installed and registered it, removed my old MJ plus and plugged in the new one and I was calling within 5 minutes. I called my neighbor who I talk to frequently and has been always complaining about my MJ breaking up, etc. He reports that the voice quality is now excellent and I did no hear him breaking up either. So far I am impressed.

I have never had to do service with MJ so cannot comment on it only to hope I never have to. Smile
