Save your money. Sounds like a good deal but isn't worth the trouble. After installing magicJack into my computer, the cops showed up at my house 3 times because the phone was ghost dialing 911. The only way to disable this was by changing my info with magicjack from my real address to a fictitious one 911 could not recognize. More recently, I have chosen to get a land line but wanted to keep my magicJack number. If you do this, know that magicJack will charge you over 30 bucks to port out!

MAGIC JACK SUCKS AND IT DOES NOT WORK ! I'VE HAD IT FOR LIKE 3 YEARS AND IT SUCKED EVERY FUCKING YEAR . YOU DO NOT WANT THIS . PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR THIS BULLSHIT .
Renewal is $39.95 per year not $19.95. The initial advertising is very misleading which I find unethical. The device works well so if you don't mind being lied to than this device is for you. For myself, I don't do business with liars.
In the TOS you agree that everything in your computer is fair game for them to know about, all web sites, email, and numbers called are their info. It's FULL of spyware. you also have to have your computer on 24/7 for it to work.
Lol that cant be right, the cheapest phone plan anyone can get outside the states is like 100 bucks a month, no but seriously, canada gets the shit end of the telephone stick as we dont have the same ammount of corporate competition lowering those prices to the rediculusly low ones you guys have down there.
Dont buy this product!!! This is the Worst product i have ever used!! It feature mediocre quality and very poor customer support!! The worst customer support available!! So do yourself a favor save the time and headache and dont buy this!!
OK OK OK this commercial makes it look like there is a scam somewhere, something hidden, but I will tell ya, i have NO affiliation with this company other than to be a customer, and 120$ was the bottom line cost for me, and i got voicemail, callwaiting, call display, the whole nine yards, OH and that 120$ was for 5 Fn YEARS I was Blown away, it works NO different than my home phone, told Bell Canada to F off, told Rogers to F off AND I told them this ON MY MAGIC JACK PHONE!! YES it works!!!!!
Shazam! Calls connected, and voice quality was clear, though not as clear as on a good corded phone on a regular line. When our tester downloaded a big file while playing an online game and making a call, there was some interference. But if you can live with a few limitations, it's a great deal. Vonage VoIP service can cost $216 a year; Skype, $95, and you must buy a Skype phone.
magicjack is the best thing they ever made!!!!!!!! the only problem im having is that i cant play games full screen bc the phone stop working! but is really good for people who dont use the computer a lot!! so buy it, its cost me $29.99 in RADIOSHACK
so technically if ur on the internet and some1 calls u, i imagine the internet shuts off. y would u want that. buy a cell phone. its like 20 bucks more
My internet doesn't shut off when I receive a phone call. Maybe you need a new computer?
My cell phone costs at least 50 bucks a month, I pay 20 bucks a year for this and it works exactly like a home phone for me. Either way, my cell doesn't work in the basement and I like to be able to use my cordless phone.
I just ordered mine for a 30 day free trial. This tread is really quite funny. I think it's a no brainer that you have to have internet and have to have your PC turned on at all times for it to work. Can't believe people are actually complaining about that.
did any1 else have t his problem.. my phone rang. and i picked it up and i got liek this weird dial tone. and the only way i could answer if i had the magic jack window up. and hit the answer button???
ok so the guy that invented this owns a soccer team in florida that takes all the best soccer players in florida and he flies them all over the world to compete in tournaments... they are only like 12 by the way....my sister played them at a tournament....the are called the Magic Jacks too
I have it and it is great! If your internet goes down, you are screwed, but you get an email wav. file of every message. For 1.99 a month + the small charge to keep a computer running? You don't radiate your brain with a cellphone, callforwarding to your cell, cool stuff!
what a great piece of technology... just had it a month ago and it works fine... the best thing is i'm from the philippines & i can call my mom and sister in the states hassle free...
The idea being that your phone bill be less, but your electric bill will be higher, conspircy?? maybe, but I still think they made a deal with with the electic companies, I mean how else can they make millions off people, need I say more? lol
anothing thing if your internet ever goes down, or like that wind storm that happen last year happens again well you be screwed knowing it doesn't work unless your internet working all the time and pc on all the time, all and 911, well with all of this your better off getting a cell phone and a plan, might cost more but least it will work, and will let you call 911, sides who uses home phones to make calls ne more, so premative, least verzion working on video phones!
Only when you want to make or recieve calls. Otherwise they are sent to voicemail or forwarded. You can check voicemail fom another phone if its off too.
10 yrs ago Internet companies where giving software for you to make local and long distance calls for FREE... I try them all and people couldn't believe when I tell them... Ofcourse I had dial up back then and DSL was costly but a fast internet calls are smooth... now all those Free calling internet companies are gone but this goes around that trouble they had and works great... Im trying to do a test of connecting it straight to my moden so my pc stays off but moden is always on using a spliter
If you don't want to use a pc try the NetTalk tk6000. It uses an almost identical tigerjet device and service costs the same. If you orded it online now it comes with lifetime service. All you do is plug it into a power outlet, then into the ethernet port of a modem or router, and lastly plug in a phone. Once the phone rings, its ready. You can also plug it into a computer although there is know softphone program that alows you to use your computer's sound system.
Magic Jack is AWESOME. At first had problems with it. I'm using DSL lite the $19/yr package So I can't massively hord download while I'm using the phone. No biggie.
I've been jacked for a year now and love it. Most of the negative comments seem to be mainly from total idiots who have a had time turning on their computer. I've read some good reviews about OOMA as well, but so far it's only in the US and not Canada.
I don't own a magic jack, but i'm researching it for school, and I have to agree with you about some of the negative comments. I've actually had quite a laugh reading some peoples complaints. (particually the people complaining about having to have their computers turned on to use it, I mean you connect it to your computer, how could you possibly think you could use it without having your computer on? lol)
anybody know where i can find the FULL infomercial? i saw this at around 3 or 4 in the morning and i could not stop laughing. please, if anyone has the beginning of this, tell me.
Hallo guys can you post return address because its impossible to find on any of your web pages.
NO is not working for me tried everything and that live typing support I dont like it at all there is no life conversation on the phone .Please post the return address .Thanks
If you purchsed it online and it has been fewer than 30 days (or if you purchased the $1/year protection) plan you must obtain a return ticket from their website to get a refund or replacement! If you purchased it at a store you must return it there and you will only be refunded that price.
There is a reason it doesn't say unlimited. Because it's not. You can be cut off for what the company deems "excessive use" and every phone call is limited to one hour before you're disconnected.
How's that for "Call Everyone, talk as long as you want for just 19.95 a month!"?
WHO SAID THAT? Jesus, are people really this dumb. You can slide with that comment if you were literally speaking to some one and got excited by the low price. BUT TO TYPE THAT! The public school system really is falling the students! Glad I was born in the early 80s
Hey ShadowSalt, wise up. MagicJack isn't just clever marketing to uneducated consumers. It is a way for non-technical people to use VOIP from their POTS phone...it also provides calls to PSTN (from SIP / VOIP) at an incredibly low flat price per year (not per minute like other low cost VOIP providers). PLUS, MagicJack gives you a D.I.D. number for near no cost. That is well worth the $39 for the device. MagicJack is one heck of a bargain and it really is easy to install.
Furthermore, for people who travel, they can take the MagicJack with them and calls into their D.I.D. ring no matter where they are in the WORLD. If you travel to Europe for example you can call the USA or Canada from Europe for free using the MJ.
ShadowSalt, You are the fellow who is uneducated. I am not affiliated with MagicJack. I do own one though, and so does my Brother and a few of my close friends.
Nothing MAGIC about it. It's nothing more than a phone jack (RJ11) to USB adapter that allows you to use your home phone for VOIP. "Voice Over IP" You can do the same thing for FREE with XFIRE, TEAM SPEAK, etc all over the world using a computer MIC. They are charging you to use their servers and to buy their adapter. Just more clever marketing to the uneducated consumer.
Hello I am shiela from philippines, I use majic jack here, my hubby sent me a majic jack wow its very great coz of this majic jack our relationship makes it strong while i am waiting for my visa to go chicago. thanks to majic jack this is very very nice..we call almost everyday. nice connections.. and i can call anywhere in the USA even i am here at the philippipnes :-)
I've had the magicjack since may now. Its cheap and it works. Sure it still has a few flaws, but thats just like anything that is less than 5 years old. They are still learning on whats wrong and still working on it and trying to get more numbers. I mean you are paying for service of $10 a year, with free local and long distant calls, what the hek can you expect? I love it.
I ordered magic jack on the internet on May 30, 2008 and received it via USPS on June 3, 2008. Took me 5 minutes to setup and gave me a personalized telephone number I could use right away. Tried it and.... it works. Called my step daughter.... she said the clarity is way better compared to a cellphone. Just 30 minutes ago I tried calling my friend in Canada... and wow it worked really fine! I am happy withe my magic jack... I hope it won't break easily. Just don't drop it & it should work fine.
Mine worked 2 months before dying. Oh boy what a deal. Oh yeah, it barely works, and won't update cable boxes or tivos. Oh yeah, and if you have anything else on your usb, it may or may not work. Overall, my original enthusiasm is dashed.
Mine works great. I use a USB Headset not a phone. I don't use a dedicated computer I use all my programs at the same time and have no trouble. A true Marvel!
If you are having problems then it's not the MagicJack itself. IT WORKS FINE FOR SOME OF US. Like I said the MJ is subject to the same types of issues as cell phones.
Just ordered my free trial. Got a dedicated PC to avoid these problems everyones B!tching about. The quality of these VOIP products depend on a lot of technical hardware overhead between you, the network servers, the person you're calling, and the machine you're using. Save some money, get a cheap old PC just for this MJ, that's if you don't already have one. Make sure it has USB 2.0 and a good network adapter, and you're good to go. If you're a techy this is a no brainer. SAVE SOME MONEY.
I bought one two months ago and love it to death. There are ppl out there on youtube complaining about it saying its a scam and that the quality sucks.. but its improving by the minute and news networks wouldn't be getting on about it of it were a scam..

When our tester downloaded a big file while playing an online game and making a call, there was some interference. But if you can live with a few limitations, it's a great deal. Vonage VoIP service can cost $216 a year; Skype, $95, and you must buy a Skype phone.

Hey ShadowSalt, wise up. MagicJack isn't just clever marketing to uneducated consumers. It is a way for non-technical people to use VOIP from their POTS phone...it also provides calls to PSTN (from SIP / VOIP) at an incredibly low flat price per year (not per minute like other low cost VOIP providers). PLUS, MagicJack gives you a D.I.D. number for near no cost. That is well worth the $39 for the device. MagicJack is one heck of a bargain and it really is easy to install.

Furthermore, for people who travel, they can take the MagicJack with them and calls into their D.I.D. ring no matter where they are in the WORLD. If you travel to Europe for example you can call the USA or Canada from Europe for free using the MJ.
ShadowSalt, You are the fellow who is uneducated. I am not affiliated with MagicJack. I do own one though, and so does my Brother and a few of my close friends.

Nothing MAGIC about it. It's nothing more than a phone jack (RJ11) to USB adapter that allows you to use your home phone for VOIP. "Voice Over IP" You can do the same thing for FREE with XFIRE, TEAM SPEAK, etc all over the world using a computer MIC. They are charging you to use their servers and to buy their adapter. Just more clever marketing to the uneducated consumer.

the softwares you talk about don't allow for calling normal phonelines, so it's useless for people who want to use the phone system.

there are limitations to how many calls you can make, they will shut off your service if you use it too much..
but you have to use it a lot for that to happen.

and then your land line telephone service goes out. Same shit.
I, myself, don't really care if my cable goes out because I get internet over fiber optics.

I've had the magicjack since may now. Its cheap and it works. Sure it still has a few flaws, but thats just like anything that is less than 5 years old. They are still learning on whats wrong and still working on it and trying to get more numbers. I mean you are paying for service of $10 a year, with free local and long distant calls, what the hek can you expect? I love it.

I ordered magic jack on the internet on May 30, 2008 and received it via USPS on June 3, 2008. Took me 5 minutes to setup and gave me a personalized telephone number I could use right away. Tried it and.... it works. Called my step daughter.... she said the clarity is way better compared to a cellphone. Just 30 minutes ago I tried calling my friend in Canada... and wow it worked really fine! I am happy withe my magic jack... I hope it won't break easily. Just don't drop it & it should work fine.

Mine worked 2 months before dying. Oh boy what a deal. Oh yeah, it barely works, and won't update cable boxes or tivos. Oh yeah, and if you have anything else on your usb, it may or may not work. Overall, my original enthusiasm is dashed.

Mine works great. I use a USB Headset not a phone. I don't use a dedicated computer I use all my programs at the same time and have no trouble. A true Marvel!

If you are having problems then it's not the MagicJack itself. IT WORKS FINE FOR SOME OF US. Like I said the MJ is subject to the same types of issues as cell phones.

Terrible reception and sending quality. Doesn't have all state area codes. You can only receive calls from other magic jack users.
Useless

Just ordered my free trial. Got a dedicated PC to avoid these problems everyones B!tching about. The quality of these VOIP products depend on a lot of technical hardware overhead between you, the network servers, the person you're calling, and the machine you're using. Save some money, get a cheap old PC just for this MJ, that's if you don't already have one. Make sure it has USB 2.0 and a good network adapter, and you're good to go. If you're a techy this is a no brainer. SAVE SOME MONEY.
