Have any of you ever tried "Magic Jack"????

Question

I just saw an ad on television for a special phone jack th at plugs into your USB on your computer and you can make unlimited phone calls in the US and Canada for 39.99 the first year and then 19.99 a year, thereafter, for life. You take this jack with you wherever you go and the phone number is yours forever. Has anyone here ever tried this ? and is it any good?

Answer 1

I bought 2 of these one for me and one for my daughter in okinawa japan we LOVE them. I have not had a landline phone for over a year until magic jack. keep in mind if your computer conection goes down so does your phone but that is the only drawback I have found. Very easy to use. great connection and we saved more than the cost of both units in the first month alone. I very highly reccommend magic jack(no I dont work for the company or get paid :0 ) by them ). Another plus is my daughter was able to pick a US area code and her freinds can call her at domestic rates. I have great hopes that the equipment(the jack itself) will hold up for years as well.

Answer 2

yea, MJ was OK until I found globalinx videophone.. it's only $24.95 and you can call anywhere in the world and you can see the person you're talking too.. the internet does not have to be on all the time and there is no static and call dropping like with MJ...all products have their ups and downs but being able to see our daughter who is in college couldn't be better. check out all the details at www.5linx.net/lab under products and services..VOIP/videophone.

Answer 4

Nikki likes some other Video Phone. well good for her but the cost of that program starts at $24.95 a month not per year!

My magicJack saves me the most money and works without a hitch.

Has some problems but for $19/year it works just fine !!!!

Answer 6

Answer 7

I have it and love it!!

but, remember..... your computer has to be on all the time!!

and there are a lot of tricks you gotta learn to make it work just right!!

its cheap.....but I would not wanted as my primary phone service!

I use it to call back to the US while traveling...........!

You need a computer and a high speed internet connection like Cable or DSL (which I have)

VERY easy to install.....you will be up and running within 5 minutes...!

I have the MagicJack for a month and love it!!

People either hate or love a product.

I love my MagicJack!

I use it with the combination of GrandCentral so I can use different area-codes!!

They call it the vonage and skype killer!!!

tip: after installation don't run it on the admin account...create another account for the MJ!!

Also, kinda watch and close out the device manager...but you will all learn that in good time on your own!!.
