Magic Jack – Telephone Service

If you are looking for:

A broad band based
flat rate
yearly billed
using your existing telephone
or headset
with 4 voice mail options
call waiting
and 911
North America wide
a choice of local phone numbers
the ability to use overseas or on travel
with better sound quality than Skype…

This is the phone service for you.

I reluctantly ordered my "kit" to test run the service. My first year is $40, and $20 there after. It came in two days with a jack for the phone line on one end and a USB line on the other.
I plugged in, filled out all the set up forms, recorded my voice mail message and within 15 minutes I was calling my friends to test the quality. Aside from slight cracking or popping noises, the quality was crisp, and easier to hear than my cell phone. Now I can cut back on my cell phone usage and save my minutes. I'm hooked, and passing on the news.

Nice blog. We were using Magic Jack for a week or so. Even when it was working, there was at least a 30-60 second delay on outgoing calls, as well as incoming... you answer the phone and hear nothing (on the callers end it is still ringing, even though you have picked up). Then it just stopped working altogether. Customer care does not really ‘care’. Check out this great site www.pissedconsumer.com for other complaints about the company.
