I'm considering MagicJack. Am I greedy or is this a smart way to get my phone bill down?

Question

I'm totally unfamiliar with this type of phone system so any help or recommendations will be appreciated.

Answer 1

I have one 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!!.

Answer 2

MJ is only one of many different ways to save on long distance phone calling.

Some other options are Skype, Gizmo5, Efonica, InPhonex, CallCentric, MediaRingTalk, EarthCaller, etc...

Answer 3

I think so it help the bill down on your phone. Just keep your home phone to call like 1800 number. and also dial a prepaid phone number. But cellphone is other option to dial 1800 even the prepaid phone number using cellphone.

But keep magicjack to call around the US or International call dial 011-63 then area code- phone number. so you don't have to dial so many numbers. just that. direct 01163. but you have to purchase the international provided by magicjack.

magicjack can't used to dial 1800.number.
