I have used magic jack for six years. Very dependable. I have not used the best phones and that causes problems in hearing sometimes. When hooked to my computer speakers, it is great for attending online call-in conferences. It is great for receiving phone messages which I have transferred to my AOL account and it works as a great answering service. Highly recommend this service.

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. It sounds good and cheap but with very very poor service. A the end you will lose. I ported my number to MJ from Optimum but had to port it back because all the free stuff they advertise are not really free, local numbers I use to get were cut off, nobody to talk to but stupid chat room that never resolves anything. I ended up paying money to MJ for porting my number in and out. Useless service, not good

Yes, Jitterbug will accept "porting" of your current phone numbers. But check with your provider to make sure they'll allow it and don't cancel their service until the number are moved to your Jitterbug phone. Actually, Jitterbug (Greatcall) will notify your carrier for cancellation during the porting process.

I use three different sim cards in my phone depending what country I am in at the time. If you are already with AT&T; they can fix you up with a new card with your old number. No problem.

You have to get the account number from your company for example I was with AT&T. Just call your company and let them know that you need the account number to switch your phone number that your using now to T-mobile :)

When you activate your account, you will be assigned a number. After that, if you want, you should be able to transfer an existing number if you wish.

Absolutely, you just have to maintain your account until the number is ported, they say it's usually 24-72 hours but I've had it done in 2.

Yes. You can also transfer your number if you want to and your current minutes will be tripled.

Yes you can... Just be sure not to cancel your current provider... Likewise Phone Power needs to be able to port your number from your current provider. Once ported, cancellation is automatic... Hope you find this information useful.

Yes, as long as you do not cancel your service for the # you want to port. Once you cancel the service the phone co gets the number. I kept my number and tested Ooma with one of their numbers. When I decided Ooma was great, I let Ooma do the porting of my old number for me. They ported my old number and cancelled my service with my old phone co. All I had to do was let Ooma know. It was easy. BUT REMEMBER - you must have an active phone service number to port.

Make sure your internet service is fast enough to support basic talk service. Yes you can keep your current phone number.

I ported my old phone number over to Ooma, so everything remained the same. However, if you need a new number you probably have to work with customer service. There may be a few area codes not open to them because of high usage rates. Give them a call first: they will work with you.

If it is locked by verizon, no, you cannot transfer the old number. If it is an unlocked phone, then you can transfer the number.

The deal is that you CANNOT port your phone number over as the phone is sent to you already activated. I didn't know that when I bought it. Neither did my friend, who called Cingular, ported the number, and now believes he will have to pay an additional $325 as a result. I see that one of the reviewers- Monkey Puppet- also learned this after the fact. If you don't need to port your number, it's the best deal around.

Yes. You can easily transfer your old tracphone number, minutes, and days to the new phone. Just call the 800 number for tracphone, and a customer assistant will help you. I suggest you call from a landline, because it takes several minutes, and have both the old and new phones ready because you will need to do things to both.

In order to port your number from another phone company to simple mobile. You most not be in a contract or owe any money to your previous carrier. If you are free and clear of a contract. Then all you do is call the simple mobile number on the back of the new simple mobile sims card that you ordered and tell them that you want to port your number from another cell phone company. They will do it for you.

If the 2 phone lines are cell phone numbers, switching it over to Google Voice is very easy. Go to Google Voice settings (upper right hand corner with the cog wheel symbol) and add the phone number. If you are trying to change your landline number over because you want to keep the same number, it's a two step process. but you will have to port your number over to a mobile service such as T-mobile first and then port it to Google Voice (GV) since GV only accepts mobile numbers. You can get instructions on how to do this on the obihai.com website under "tutorials and tips" and then "port your number to google voice". You can do this for about $10 by buying a SIM card to temporarily hold your ported landline number. It's not too painful and totally worth it! Good luck.
