Mel in Hawaii Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 What do you think about the MagicJack (www.magicjack.com) product? I have been using it for a month and like the price and the quality is ok. Has anyone else tried it? For me, I don't use the land line phone service at home, so I just rely on my cell phone, so that means I usually use thousands of minutes (the month before I got my magicjack we used over 4000 minutes on my family plan with about 1300 of them being non tmobile to tmobile). The cost of having a dedicated land line didn't seem easy to justify, but this $40 for a year of service did since we already have cable broadband internet. Comparing the voice quality of the local cable company's digital phone service, I would say the quality is much better, but occasionally you will hear a blip, especially if I am playing a network game at the same time (might be CPU resource as much as network traffic).

kcjenkins Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Well, if I had never heard of the person reccomending it, I'd be suspicious. But since it is you, I will look into it. I've never heard of it before. Any other users here? How did you learn of it, Mike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard of it orriginally on a financial blog that I regularly read. I am just afraid it might go the way of sunrocket and all that seemed to die the VOIP death. I like the simplicity of dialing a normal phone and got a minimal handset to go with it so that when we are out we can plug it into the laptop and use it as a phone there. Sure, there are other VOIP solutions that you don't need the phone, but you should see the stares I get when I am talking on the phone at a McDonalds. Cell phones are good, except that I tend to use too many minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Lodi, CA Ok, I will change my nick again to make it easier to understand. Sorry that I forgot about Mike having that nick orriginally as I was just switching to my initials rather than my whole name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Might be worth the money just for the fun of pulling out that phone in McDonald's. Or wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
