I sent a letter to the MagicJack folks about a year or so ago on behalf of many of us experiencing problems with their software, and they said that they apologize, and that they would fix it. This must be the result. I sent it from my work office and my work letter head, as I am a counselor with a state agency.

Greetings y'all, While fighting the MJ site to ascertain their international rates I discovered the existence of a free of charge MagicJack app; it was the first one displayed when searching on the string: "magicj" in the US app store. Considering the accessibility of their Windows and Mac apps I wasn't expecting much, so this app was a very pleasant surprise,. All buttons are clearly labeled. I used the new IOS5 double tap and hold with two fingers (i.e. relabel) gesture so as to reduce some of the junk text that appears in all the buttons -- e.g. "s1 asterisk" became "star", etc. Once this was accomplished, the app can be used much more quickly. Since vo and all other sound is routed to the ear piece upon placing a call, it may help to use head phones the first time and learn the location of the "end" button which is about an inch above the home button at the center of the screen, and the "speaker" button which is a bit above and to the right.. This app renders it possible to place and receive calls to/from magicjack numbers on IOS devices via wi-fi or 3G. I have not yet received a call, but my wi-fi call quality seems fine, and the one time I tried placing a call on the 3G network with two bars, I didn't notice any difference except that it longer for the call to complete. I do not have a MagicJackPlus, but even for those who do, this app might be worth considering since it renders it possible to use the mobile phone without chewing up minutes. Those with older MJ hardware have the added benefit of not having to turn on the computer and run that nasty inaccessible addware that MJ calls "SoftPhone". I went to AppleVis, but noticed that a review was already written and I didn't have much substance to add. Thought I'd post here in case there are others like me who don't necessarily peruse AppleVis on a regular basis. Best regards.
