for me.. magic jack works really great, and i live in santo domingo, Dominican Rep. and i had call to n.y., atlanta, miami and a friend in toronto and is like a normal phone.. without noise and no choppy.

I have a customer that tried to get me to use it because he's so happy with the calls, and he calls only 90% of Long Distance and around the world with it.

MJ works, all you have to do is install it on an old computer with winXP SP2, install the fix software on MJ website, and thats it. I called all over the US, and a couple times to Canada and it works. I have a sister who had a lot of trouble with one on her windows vista comp. so i took her MJ and pluged it into my laptop(2 1/2 yrs old) and it worked, right in front of her face. put it back in her comp., and it did not work right.

it might be only $19.95 a year but your electicity bill will be around $30 more from leave your computer on 24/7. so not really a savings

Windows XP Service Pack 3. Besure you keep Service Pack 2. Still there is no guarantee that the magicJack will work for you. In my opinion buy Magic Jack at your own risk.

Magic Jack is a piece of junk. I just filed a complaint with the BBB and FTC. This is the info on the company incase anyone needs it. The BBB has rated this company an F-

(I'm not surprise!)
