Answer 1

According to VoIP expert and blogger Thomas Howe, Magic jack indulges in misleading and deceptive marketing advertising:

Personally, their infomercial style of advertising has never appealed to me... even if it is cheap.

Answer 2

I have seen advertisements for it and am interested in it.

I think I am going to get one just to play around with.

You can't beat it for the price!

Answer 3

i know that the commercials are really anoying (i have seen 3 this morning)  

it would be cool if it does all that it says it can do.

i really know nothing about it

Answer 4

I use a Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone with multible extension!

the only con is the computer gotta be on "ON"...but thats no biggie for me....one of my laptop is always on anyways! just take the monitor off so it will not use much energy...

the MagicJack came out about last year in May/07

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...
