Poll: Have any posters used Magic Jack phone service?

Answer 1

I have 2 of them and they work fine.

Answer 2

No.  Their infomercial style of advertising turns me off...

And, I'm not willing to put out $40 just to give it a try.

Answer 3

No, not me sorry

See I'm back!

Answer 4

Oh, is that the one with two tin cans and a string??

Answer 5

yes!! I have.......and love it!!

Answer 6

I have had a MagicJack for about a month, I love it.

I use my cell phone for almost everything but MagicJack is great when you're calling an 800 number and KNOW you'll be on hold forever.

It's nice also if I forget to charge the cell!

Answer 7

yes, I have magic jack, and i love it, the call quality is excellent, and the price is right...

for about $40 for the first year and $20 a year afterwards how can you go wrong.. most phone services charge this per month...

the downside for some (not for me, i run all my PCs 24/7) is that it is a USB device, that must be connected to your PC, and the computer must be on and connected to the internet for the phone service to work..

you may not get data services over VoIP phone service, so it may not be good for connecting to a dial up modem, fax machine, alarm system, or satellite box...

Answer 8

same thing as Vonage...Unless you have good broad band all consumer grade VOIP sucks. The problem is that the voice compression is between 76K to 90K per channel. Also your voice is traveling over public internet

Answer 9

I use one in Germany so that I can call back to the US for free
