Magic Jack
| Overall Rating | No Ratings |
Telephone companies have had it pretty easy up until recently; there have been slim pickings from companies in your area to choose from and you’re always forced into a plan with enough coverage to exceed what you may use, but no refund if you don’t use it. To top that off, rates have been increasing year after year, making it more expensive to utilize a home phone. Since most people have switched to broadband cable in their homes, making the switch to aVoIP company almost makes perfect sense.
The Voice Over Internet Protocol, or VoIP for short, is nothing new, businesses have been utilizing it for decades as a way to load balance their intense phone systems. Only recently has it become more available for home users, and the cost savings can be into the thousands.
VoIP utilizes you’re existing broadband connection to make telephone calls, fairly simple and straight forward. Until recently though, complicated software was needed and obtrusive, hard to use handsets. This all changed when the Magic Jack came out. Take your existing home telephone, plug the wire into the Magic Jack and then connect the other end with the USB into your computer. That simple.
The Magic Jack is cross-platform compatible and will work on Windows XP, Windows Vista and the Mac OSX operating sytems.
You get these great features along with it:
- Free local calls
- Free long distance calls
- Free directory assistance
- Free phone number
- Free caller ID
- Free call waiting
- Free voicemail
If your home has dead zones where cell reception is weak or dropped calls happen often, it can be a thing of the past utilizing this cutting edge technology. Free yourself of the cable bill and gain the ability to call whoever you want, whenever you want.
Both 911 and 411 features are fully functional.
Have a laptop? Even better! Take the Magic Jack with you when you travel and utilize any phone that you can unplug (such as a hotel phone) to make free phone calls. What’s more, take the Magic Jack out of the country with you and still get free US and Canadian calls while abroad!
The Magic Jack is free to try and comes complete with a 30 day money back guarantee, but I doubt you’ll need it. This one small device will pay for itself within weeks of buying it, and the ease and convenience, along with the cost savings will have you telling your all your friends and family about it.
