magicJack Plus Release Update

The magicJack Plus was slated to be released for sale during the 1st quarter of 2011 but for this go around magicJack and VocalTec are doing it right and putting their new product through a lengthy testing phase before its release. At this time only 200 magicJack Plus units have been sold and magicJack is using feedback from these users to work out any kinks and get the final design ready for release.

Recently VocalTec gave guidance that this testing phase is expected to be completed in early July 2011 with release of the product thereafter. However don’t hold your breath on this one. We have been told many times about a release from magicJack only to be disappointed with delays. VocalTec also said that it hopes to release the magicJack App at the same time, this app is expected to work on computers, iPhones, and iPads initially.

We also just learned that you will indeed have the option to transfer your existing number from the original magicJack over to the magicJack Plus. It didn’t specify whether any future years of service that you paid for would transfer with the number but I think its safe to assume that they will transfer over.

The last time we posted about the magic Jack Plus we didn’t have any information on what the device would look like or its size. However with the testing phase in order pictures and videos of the new device have begun to surface. The magicJack plus looks almost the same as the original but it is slightly more square shaped, comes with an Ethernet port, and has the word “plus” added to the image we have seen for years on the original MJ (See image below).

If you have been anticipating the magicJack Plus release for awhile then it’s time to get excited because it is almost here. Let’s just hope MJ doesn’t disappoint with another delay.
