Magic Jack MAC Beta Installation

Magic Jack Internet Phone has now released a beta trial for use with Intel Mac computers.  However, according to the official magicJack website, neither customer nor technical support is yet available for mac installations, so proceed at your own risk.  This MAC beta version is only compatible with Intel based Macs with OS (operating systems) higher than 10.4.11 and higher.  You can have a 10.4.10 OS, but it must have kernal 8.10.3 or higher.  To find which OS and Kernal version you have, follow this path on your Mac computer:

Apple Icon > About This Mac > More Info > Software

It boggles the mind why magicJack would release new software to use their product without providing any support for it at all. But, if you’re the adventurous type and don’t mind blowing 40 bucks, give it a try! They will probably build their support and FAQ around solving the real problems customers have with the Mac beta.  Maybe they’ll have a special web page for feedback on this release?  You will need to have your Magic Jack device plugged into a Windows PC to download the Mac upgrade.  Once that is downloaded, then you can plug your MagicJack into your Mac computer.  To download the Magic Jack Mac Beta from the offical website, go here:

As with a PC, you will need to leave your computer on to make and receive phone calls through your magicJack. Give it a good try-out, at least a few months before dumping your regular land line phone service.  You do need to keep another phone service to make sure you always have a viable 911 service in case of emergencies. 

If you have used the Magic Jack Mac Beta successfully or even unsuccessfully, please give us some idea of your experience with it in the Comments below.
