To keep your cuurrent phone number:

After logging in, click the "My Subscriptions" tab, and then the "Details" button under "Transfer Your Phone Number to magicJack." Follow the prompts to submit your transfer request. There will be a fee of about $20.00.

You need to know that not all numbers are transferable to magicJack. Here's a lengthy list of supported area codes. Here's a longer list that includes local prefixes.

If your old phone number is not transferable, you can return your device per these instructions (or if you bought it from a retailer, return it there).

To set up voice mail:

Install and register your magicJack
From your telephone plugged into your magicJack, dial your new ten-digit magicJack telephone number
When you hear an automated voice message, press the * (star) key.
When prompted, dial the default password 1234 on your telephone or softphone.
To change your password and set up your personalized voice greetings, press the "0" (zero) key.
