What stores sell the magic jack in oregon?

Question

i only see it online. it sounds great. howcome they don't sell it in the mainstream stores such as best buy or circuit city? is there a catch to it?

Answer 1

Skype does the same thing. The whole idea is to make phone calls from your computer.

Keep this option in mind.

Yahoo Messenger with Voice. Make PC to PC calls anywhere in the World.

Thats all the magic jack is. Heres the thing. With magic jack.... does not use dial up!. Broad band okay, cable okay. Dial up?...no way.

Answer 3

Being from PA, I know of no stores in Oregon...

J&R sells it.  They do have a store in NYC. http://www.jr.com/templates/information/...

Sam's Carribbean Marketplace is also a store that sells Magic Jack. They are in Hempstead, NY: http://www.sams247.com/storehours.aspx

It does however, appear as you say, that no large retail chain is selling the product.

I think the biggest reason it isn't being sold in stores is that they have enough of a problem now keeping up with demand selling over 30,000 units a day or a million units a month.

And even if they were able to produce them fast enough to meet the demand of huge in store sales, can you imagine how many more upset customers they would have with their lack of customer service? Such as the one found here - http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/32...

I think they are smart in trying to control their growth for now, at least until they have more of the problems ironed out and more local numbers to select from and are better able to provide some kind of customer service.

With all that said, I still think Magic Jack is a great thing to have. We've had ours for a week now and yes there have been a couple of problems. Still to make free outgoing calls, it's worth it.  I wouldn't want to depend on it as an only line however. We use ours only for calling long distance.
