In March of 2009 they announced they were nearly ready. But currently it’s being rebuilt as “Google Voice.” I strongly urge MagicJack users, and really everybody, to sign up for a Google Alert to let you know when the service goes live again. The phone number they give you acts as a first line of defense you can then block incoming calls, reroute them to your a number of choice, or send them to voicemail. They issue you a phone number and you link it up to all your personal phone numbers. The best solution to block calls is and (at the same time) isn’t available. To the rescue comes a couple of internet solutions. I was with Vonage for five solid years and no matter how much we complained they just wouldn’t do it. Internet based phone companies like MagicJack and Vonage aren’t offering the service either. I don’t know why but the phone companies just wouldn’t do it, or if they did not without a substantial fee. I remember in the 90’s being able to get call blocking and then the phone companies seemed to have stopped offering it and started giving out a “if the caller is harassing you fill out a police report, send that to us and we’ll block the number” solution. And again, “regular” phone companies aren’t really furnishing this service as much as they used to.
If it is not active, the phone number porting processs will fail.But I understand where all this leads getting calls from unknown callers makes you want something to block them. A phone number must be active to transfer to another carrier.
If it is expired, I would imagine that the voicemail should no longer work. I am unsure what you mean when you say your Magicjack number is expired. Things will continue like this until the number portability request is complete. So the fact that incoming calls are going to your Magicjack voicemail is normal. Incoming calls never work until the carreir that the phone number is coming from approves the request. It's actually outgoing calls that work imediately. It only means that Public Mobile has assigned the phone number to your account and that request has been submited to the originating carrier of the phone number. The part that Public Mobile tells you "sucessful" or whatever the wording is on the compter screen is does not mean that your phone number has been transfered. The caller gets sent directly to the magicjack voicemail. I can also send and receive text messages. Now on my phone, I can make calls, and on the receiving phone, my caller ID shows up as the magicjack number.
When I signed up with PM it went through the transfer no problem. Just activated my sim card and ported over a current but expired phone number I have on one of my magicjack accounts.
