Magic Jack you say? What is that prey tell? It's a small jack that fits into your USB port that allows you to use your internet connection to make phone calls and receive them for one low fee per year!
I was reluctant to do it because I was not sure how well this "patent pending" item was really going to work for me.
So I went online to message boards, forums and all over the place to find the pros and cons of this little device. There were good things to say about it and bad things and for 41.00 and some change that is nothing to sneeze at in this economy. But I decided hey they are now in Radio Shack and I wanted to make the decision for myself. One thing was for sure, I could take it back for a refund if it did not work out for me as opposed to the drama online that I had read about.
So I bought it yesterday, installed it and guess what? It works! OMG it works! Its plugged up now to my desktop and I can use that as a second phone line that wont tie up my work at home phone line! What's even better is that Imani can talk as much as she wants on this and I can work on gigs without interruption, scowls from my child and all of that. What else I like about it? As long as I have an internet connection it works so that means wifi, DSL Cable. So I have been able to take it to an area with wifi and I called myself when I hooked it up to my laptop!
Now what I would not suggest is getting rid of your home phone service or your cell phone but as an additional phone line for the kiddies at 19 bucks per year hey you can't beat that.
(Was I paid for this? Nope) I wanted to see if it really worked and it does.
I think it deserves a try!
