How to remove MagicJack APP Completely?

I installed the new free Magic Jack app on my iphone 4 and Ipad 2. THere are 3 choices you can make to start a call. since I once had a magicjack, I chose to use my existing number. It made me sign in which I did and it used the phone number I had. The call worked fine. The problem is that my subscription to my magicJack expired, so i decided I wanted to remove the app and start over using whatever number they wanted to use and just make outgoing calls. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app, it no longer gives me a choice and always asks me to sign in. Magic Jack has obvously parked some info somewhere on the iphone to know I had already logged in, and no matter how many times I uninstall the app, it stays the same.


How to I get rid of it once and for all so it appears it is a new install without having to restore the iphone or ipad?

Actually I was able to change the number. Here are the steps.


1) Remove the app from your device.

2) Login to my.magicjack.com

3) Click on Account / Account Details

4) Go to your device name and then click on the drop down for the Number of device and then assign the nubmer of your choice.

5) Now re-install app and sign in

6) The app should have the changed number now.

So I contacted support at MJ i am in a similar boat i logged in with an old account and then when I tried to switch to my current account I got the error message. Support said only way to remove it is a full wipe and reload. An I tried it and it worked.... gonna try a restore and see if it is still working otherwise only way to remove the app is a full wipe... and reload

This method actually works. Thanks for the information.

I tried the above fix of renaming the app and also tried renaming my iPhone. Neither of those solutions worked for me, BUT after a long and admittedly frustrating live chat with Magic Jack's customer service, the representative was able to remove the device from the app on the old account and I am now able to use it with my new one. The caveat is that I did need to know the account info (name, email, address) for the old account. This was not a problem for me, since the new magic jack was a second one for use as a business line, but obviously this might not help someone who has purchased a second hand iphone from a stranger and doesn't have that info. Hopefully this helps some of you, anyway!
