Do you think that THIS is what Dan meant by advertising sponsored calling? It wouldn't surprise me a whole lot.

boy i sure hope not. that would be terrible, especially for ppl using magic jack for their business line. On their infomercial, one of the "uses" they advertise is "a separate line for your business", so that would suck if they start putting in call ads.

I was making a call yesterday and before it connected I heard " Thank you for using Majicjack". Haven't heard it since.

I *love* my MJ, but that might be a deal killer, even for me. I would probably have to bite the bullet and go to some other service provider or just move to a virtual number that didn't have the commercial.

These are the reasons I don't sign up for more than a year at a time.

Uh oh. That's not a good sign.

I *believe* I heard it as part of a longer message that I needed to dial an area code. Here it is:

"In order to complete this call you must dial the area code and the telephone number. Thank you for using Magic Jack."

You may have just heard the tail end. Or, maybe not.

Would it be so bad if the ad played instead of a ring? Either way, you're still just waiting on the other person to pick up. Just hope they're quick to the phone.

I think for me, it was just the idea that I *love* my MJ and don't like things to change. (I know, I'm probably on the wrong planet, but that's just me.) I s'pose I would get used to it, but I like things the way they are. Of course, if MJ didn't have that faint echo on the other end, I wouldn't complain too vigorously.
