Question

What is a magic jack phone and where do I get it?

Answer 1

its a phone jack that you  plug it into your computer if you have high speed internet an with any phone you can make long distance calls for free unlimited ( first year free with purchase of 39.00) then about 19.95 a year.

Also if you travel out of the US you can call the US back at no charge also. it is amazing.

It is very simple.  As far as the guy saying the website doesnt have enough info.? I am not sure what you are talking about it is so simple why do you need any more info ?

Answer 2

What I don't like about Magic Jack is their hard sell technique.

Just look at the web site. It's high on hype, low on information. It could be a great product (probably is, but I can't tell from the web site), but the web site puts me off. It looks as if it's been put together by a scammer.

So, if the poeple at MJ ever read this, how about putting up a web site with some real information, not just a sales pitch.

Answer 3

a magic phone jack is a new service that gives you a number, voicemail, call waiting, caller ID, etc. and a nifty little phone jack. Despite the name, the phone jack is not magical, but it gets close. It is a USB phone jack that plugs into a computer and then the person plugs a phone into the other end allowing them to make or recieve calls for free. All you have to do is buy the phone jack for $39.00. That is not bad for a phone service. There aren't any other costs. As the website says, "Never pay a phone bill again!"

If you use a service called Free 411 to find local, business, and residential numbers for free, then you'll hear all about it. When dialing the service to get a number, I was curious and asked for more detail about Magic Jack and I was transffered to a CSR pushing hard for me to get a Magic Jack. I told her no thank you and she quickly responded "why?" I told her I have a cell phone and just was not interested right now. She brought to light a great use of what a person could do with this Magic Jack such as going out of town and instead of using the costly hotel phones, a person could just plug in the Magic Jack.

I see this service further knocking down the hopes and dreams left for all the landline phone companies out there like BellSouth. Of course, it all depends. Magic Jack could be horrible quality. I have yet to test one out so I couldn't say for sure. If you have a Magic Jack, let me know the details, because my roommates birthday is coming up and this might make a nice gift.
