Magic Jack? Anyone ever heard of it?

Question

I recently ordered a magic jack from an advertisement that was on tv. They claim it is the best digital phone service out there. Does anyone have one and can let me know if it works as well as they claim it does? I won't be recieving mine for 10 days.

Here's a link to the question I answered for another person curious about Magic Jack:

Suffice it to say that I am not happy with them due to the fact that the free trial has not been free.  They overdrafted my account and I just received the product this week and am within my free trial period.

I also am keeping a blog about it so that I can let everyone know my progress with getting this issue resolved.  You can look at my profile for the blog site address.

Answer 2

yes.......its a good deal....if that's what you want....you can call anyone for free in the US and Canada for free....land line or cellphone!! I have one for over 1 year now and love it!

you just put the MagicJack into your USB port and use any old analog phone and make calls....!

the MJ software install when you put the MJ n your USB post....with the software and also a softfone if you wanna use 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...
