Who is magic jack's phone carrier ?

Question

Who is the carrier that supplies magicjack with your new telephone # ?

Answer 1

YMax Communications

http://www.ymaxcorp.com/

That company has phone lines in all 50 states and built their network quietly without anyone realizing the plan was to be able to offer the Magic Jack with $20 annual long distance.

I have a Magic Jack and LOVE it!  It's fun to outsmart Ma Bell at her own game. Hehe

If you haven't ordered yet, look for discount coupon codes at the site below...

That's a good primer with available area codes, screen shot previews of install process and  some good advice (take your time choosing an area code and exchange if you can't get yours).  I was in a hurry to see if it would work and wish I had selected different area code than one I chose in a rush.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

They are their own carrier -- they own their own telephone switching network in North America.  That's how they keep the price so low.

The phone numbers come from your state regulators; anyone can apply for blocks of phone numbers for a fee.  Most states require some sort of proof of use requirement so people don't try to hog and resell numbers.
