But some, including T-Mobile and Sprint, have begun to offer Wi-Fi calling. Traditional wireless carriers have not yet embraced mobile OTT voice and text capability running over a mobile data connection.

By working with Wi-Fi or mobile data, the MagicJack VocalTec offering should have broader appeal. Those offerings are designed only to work with Wi-Fi, however, limiting where customers can use them. Other offerings that enable mobile users to avoid traditional mobile voice and data charges include Republic Wireless and Cablevision’s Freewheel service. The stand-alone MagicJack VocalTec offering represents the latest threat to traditional mobile voice and text service. It was available for both iOS and Android devices – and for now Android customers using the magicJackGO landline and mobile offering will need to continue to use the earlier app, while customers using magicJackGO with iOS devices now can get the magicApp Premium app.Ī MagicJack VocalTec spokeswoman said there is no release date for an Android version of magicApp Premium as of now. Total mobile app downloads for MAGICJACK VOIP SERVICES was 20k, including 10k iOS app downloads and 10k Android app downloads. The mobile app initially used for that offering was known simply as magicApp and did not support texting. The combined landline and mobile offering uses the company’s magicJackGO device to enable a traditional landline phone to communicate using the customer’s landline broadband connection. MagicJack VocalTec previously launched mobile OTT voice capability as an add-on to the company’s traditional OTT offering.
