Heads up, all you
MagicJack.com haters!
One of the most polarizing websites on the show has finally gotten a formal slap on the wrist after a number of user complaints.
MagicJack has been prompting both laurels and darts from listeners ever since Clark first mentioned this controversial VoIP service on the show.
Many people love that MagicJack allows them to make unlimited long distance calls over the Internet for $19.99 for the first year of service. Others have griped endlessly about the call quality and lack of customer service.
Clark himself has used MagicJack on 4 continents and loved the money he's saved.
But now the attorney general of Florida has levied a $125,000 fine against the company for charging customers who enrolled in their supposedly "free" 30-day trial.
So here's a radical idea: MagicJack should try charging $5 or $10 more per year and then actually providing some real customer service!
It's the same deal with
ZenniOptical.com -- another very polarizing site that Clark loves. Zenni offers complete prescription eyeglasses for as little as $8. Shipping costs are $4.95.
Again, some listeners love Zenni and others loathe it. So why not simply charge a few dollars more and offer real customer service? That way you're still offering a valuable product at a deep discount
and not alienating any customers.
We know, we know...Clark talking about raising prices? Can you believe this is coming from the mouth of Mr. El Cheapo himself?!
