Simply put, MagicJack works!
If you have a DSL or Cable Internet connection, you can save a ton of money with this little device! I purchased mine in June 2008, and I can tell you I’ve saved, at a minimum, $600.00 in telephone and long distance charges. I can’t tell you how wonderful it felt to call AT&T and say, “discontinue this telephone service”. When they asked me why, I told them, “because I don’t need it anymore, Whewww.” We use cable for our internet, but even if you use DSL for internet access you can still save money by dropping the phone service.
I paid $49.95 for the MagicJack device, and $19.95 for 1 full year of service; which includes unlimited long distance, even to Canada! There’s a cute little interface that sits in your system tray, and it pops up when you make or receive a call. Also included are all those extra features we’re used to paying extra for, like: caller ID, 3 way calling, call waiting, AND my most favorite feature, other than the savings, voice mail. Callers can leave a voice mail message even if the MagicJack isn’t turned on. You can also have an email sent to notify you of new voice mail messages. You’ll actually receive the message as an attachment in .wav format so you can listen to it in Windows Media Player or any wave player. If you prefer you can also call in to check your messages. It also has a contacts list and you can use a regular telephone with it.
I just love finding something that actually does what it promises, and MagicJack does!
