Question

I lost the answer that told of the cheapest rates in the nation. Please reply again. Thanks.

Answer 1

Okay, the MagicJack will work anywhere in the earth that has a BROADBAND connection ie. Cable or DSL (at least). How it works is like this. Someone in the United States(or with a US address) has to have it registered (that's how Vonage works too) and you can take it anywhere, plug it in and you're abale to call in about 2 minutes or less.

Sone things I found out though...the hard way

1) LIMITED area code choices - I live in Illinois and Chose a CALIFORNIA number so I got an invite to Grandcentral.com and got a local number that simultaniously rings to my MagicJack. also if you get a MagicJack and your friends get MagicJacks it doesn't matter because you will have FREE unlimited calling in the US.

2) call forwarding to a number of your choice is good - I use my cell phone.

3) customer Service is a downfall though BUT they do their best - This is a TRUE story - I had the MagicJack for 5 days and couldn't get to work and i had 14 tech support conversations. After the 14th one, I went to the other computer (which was logged in under our son's account) I plugged the MagicJack in and POOF it worked!!! So from there I figured out that in order to use the MagicJack you have to have a "LIMITED" user account on a computer. I was trying to install this item on "ADMINISTRATOR" user accounts. To prove that I wasn't crazy I created a NEW account and called it "MagicJackUser" and made it a "LIMITED" account and before you know it, it WOKED!!!

I hope this helps you out
