Why Does My Magic Jack Iphone App Answer Automatically?

I installed the magic jack app on my new iphone 5. It has worked great up until about three days ago when all of the sudden when people call it just answers without ringing. It is a very bad feature as it opens up the phone line to where whoever is calling can hear everything you are doing but you do not know they are on the phone line. How can I turn this feature off? Does anyone know?

Have the same problem. I just talked to someone at Magic Jack and they said to turn the phone on and off. I did and had someone call me back after I called them and that seemed to work. But will it happen again after the phone is on for awhile is the question. Not very secure to have someone listen to you without you knowing.

What i saw was when you leave the magic Jack app open and you just lock your iPhone it answers automatically. you need to close the app after using it. when someone calls it rings.

The above answer is 100% correct. Close the app and your phone will not answer itself, and it will ring as normal. Still, if you forget to close MJ, you'll have the same issue.
