Does anyone have the Magic Jack Phone or has anyone used it?

Question

If so, is it really as good as people and the net says it is and why?

Answer 1

My brother has it, and he says it works great!

Answer 2

I have one. I recently ordered it because of a recommendation from Clark Howard (Radio Talk Show Host). I have Vonage and have been using it for 3 - 4 years. Since I haven't been using it much lately I ordered Magic Jack and so far it has worked pretty well. I have had a few calls get choppy, but for the money I cannot complain. My only con to it is that you need to have your computer on in order for it to work. Vonage has a standalone device which is nicer.

I haven't had it for too long, only a month, so I have not yet recommended it to anyone as I want to make sure it stays trouble free, but so far so good.

Answer 3

I have one and love it!!

I use it since last year, and so far I love it! but you gotta know what you really want out of this gizmo! I use it strictly for travel and as a 2nd line in my house!

Don't expect too much from MagicJack....its not a phone service per se.....!

I had no problems installing it...matter-of-fact ....the install was faster and much more easier then my other VoIP service!

Land Phones its really easy to use....like a VoIP service (Internet phone)

but you computer got to be on at all times for it to work!!

You gotta download their software....but its very easy and you don't need to do nothing else...! I have it since last year...! so far I love it...I take it on vacation to other countries so I can call back for free with an US area code! Make sure you use another user account and not the admin account...also if you have trouble...check your device manager....don't do your iPot stuff at the same time...!

all you get is the Magic Jack...the rest you learn on your on, or at the MJ forum!

You will be up and running within 5 minutes....you can ask here questions when you get it going!! There are alot of little things you have to know........for it to work just right!!

the most important thing with the MJ...it all depends on your ISP provider....! I use other VoIP on my computer, but the MJ was the easiest to install...
