It is very similar device I saw it, I use google to search, someone call flasphone and come from mplat.com , and almost two years before. I guess, MagicJack don't have core technology.

I will live in Columbus, Ohio area. Will persons calling me have to pay a long distance charge since my phone number may not be a local number to the caller? Thanks,

I have only had my magicjack for a short time and had quite a difficult time installing. I use my computer only for basic functions and had to download activeX files and java files and actually went through registration twice but now that it is installed I love it. I don't travel internationally so it meets or should I say it exceeds my expectations. The audio is better than my regular land line which I have kept as part of a package deal. Not having a local number is of no concern since they still come in on my regular line. I picked a number local to my sister who lives 500 miles away and now she and her family can call me just like I was next door for free. I have called family in Texas, California,Oregon, and Missouri , all for free plus one business contact in Canada that used to take minutes off my phione card about 5 to 1. With no income except S.S. it has been a welcome addition to my computer. Most questions can be answered at unofficial magicjack forum. Some of you people aren't going to be happy until you force this company to set up extensive customer service and start charging us all monthly fees to cover the cost. Leave them alone.

I HAVE HAD THE MAJIC JACK OVER A WEEK NOW, AND SO FAR IT'S GREAT. I'M GLAD TO HAVE MY OWN PHONE LINE AGAIN, SO WHAT IF IT'S HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER. ATLEAST I CAN USE A CORDLESS PHONE WITH THE MAGIC JACK, AND BE ON THE PHONE AND THE COMPUTER AT THE SAME TIME. THAT IS ALL I'M WORRIED ABOUT RIGHT NOW. I JUST HOPE THEY DON'T START CHARGING US EXTRAS AFTER 1 YEAR.

Response from: don ferguson

if we have a non local phone number and area code to use the magicjack that means our local friends and neighbors will have to pay long distance charges to call us,right! IF THAT IS SO WHAT GOOD IS IT. we need this thing to work out of spooner,wi!!!! WE ARE REALLY UPSET THESE THINGS WERE NOT EXPLAINED TO US UPON ORDERING IT. they can not even tell us when we may be able to even do these things,if ever!! WE MIGHT AS WELL KEEP OUR REGULAR PHONE LINE!!

Response from: jackie

I would like to know if other people that call me, will they be charged a fee?

Response from: Susan LaLonde

I have had my MagicJack since yesterday afternoon. It is the best thing since sliced bread! It was the easiest thing to install and within 5 minutes I was making phone calls. The live help is the best and they walked me through setting up my voice mail (which was the only thing I had slight problems with) The clarity of the calls is outstanding. We don't have local area code for my area (which is remote area in Kentucky) but since we have caller ID and also a box that pops up on your desktop when you get calls if someone local calls me, I tell them to let it ring a couple of times and when thier number and name pops up on the caller ID I just call them right back. I will NEVER again pay the high price for long distance or phone service. I researched this MagicJack for over a month before I decided to purchase, and I got it within 2 days of doing so. If you read all of the FAQ's you will find out anything and everything you need to know about it. I recommend it to anyone that has to make any kind of long distance calls regularly, and even just for the local calls it is worth not paying a monthly bill. My total price was right under $50 and that included shipping and handling and a $2.95 priority shipping fee that enabled me to get my MagicJack within 2 days. I want to thank the inventor of this gadget...has to be a genius. Anyone that would like to ask me any additional questions about this is welcome to email me at kutedymples@highland.net. If I can answer any questions you may have I will surely try. Like I said...I highly recommend this to anyone that wants a phone and has high speed internet. I have DSL and it works perfectly, my internet speed is not affected at all even when making or recieving a phone call.

Will people calling my magic jack number incur long distance charges, whether from my area code or not?

Response from: Susan LaLonde

Yes, if people call you FROM a different area code, THEY will incur charges. But not you. I am have a different area code now from my daughter around the corner. She has a cell phone she calls me on now and it is still free for her. But if she were to call me from her house phone she WOULD incur charges. Any time you have to dial an area code in front of the number you are dialing whoever does the dialing incurs charges to that phone. I hope this helps.

Response from: Greg

I have had MagicJack for about ten days now and in my opinion it is the best thing since sliced bread. I use it with a USRobotics usb phone I got at dear old Wal-mart for ten bux. Folks, you can take your laptop anywhere there is wireless access and call anyone for free! In two seconds I can change and use my "real" telephone with MagicJack, or I can use a headset. Tell all your friends who are complaining about having to call you long distance to get one of those 99-cent long distance cards and quit complaining. Please don't screw around with this peeps - who wants to pay a monthly fee? I dropped my Vonage and i will probably never use my $9.68 Skype balance. MagicJack is beyond total coolness.

Response from: Barb

I have the magic jack and a totally different area code from any who lives in my area.....when they call me they will be charged long distance??? But if they have a cell phone they will not be billed for long distance?

Response from: Kim Rozell

I love Magicjack! This thing is awesome. If you are not loud enough, just go to the MENU and adjust the mic gain. Wow, best feature ever. Now the older folks I talk to can hear me better than on the conventional phone line! Since I mostly use this for long distance to friends and relatives, the non-local number does not matter. Just upgraded computers and don't know what to do with the old one? Put your Magicjack on it, and dedicate it to a high quality cordless phone.

Response from: AdwarePhobic

Amazing how many users are willing to accept adware programs, especially when they have to PAY for those programs. Read their terms of service policy, section 11, Advertisements. Their magicPage software that must run on your host is adware. Oh joy, you get to pay for spam.

Response from: ex-verizonemployee

After over 14 years in customer svc in the telecommunications industry. I am so glad that this came out. I knew it would only be a matter of time. I own my own business now and I can get a number that is local for people that are in my area that I am working. That way they are not calling long distance or an 800 number that I am paying through the nose for. It makes them feel like I am right next door even though I am about 2 hours away. If a family member calls they do the old 3 rings hang up, just like the old days when they wanted to let you know they got home safe and did not want to pay Ma Bell more money. Thank You

Response from: TL RAE

I MUST AGREE WITH SUSAN L.(9th comment down from top) WHO CARES IF SOMEONE LOCAL CALLS OR FROM ANYWHERE !! THE POINT IS U DONT HAVE TO ANSWER THE CALL (right away) ....U CAN CALL THEM BACK FOR FREEEEEE!!. LOL Thats the thing. Yes it is a bit of a pain in the a-- and odd from the usual way of just pickin up the phone when it rings ....but that way wasnt as cheap ,now was it ppl.?? hehe....why do we go for change then resist it when it actually means we gotta change the way we are accustomed to doing it?? Well hope this confirms it for some..dont worry it took a bit of "resisting" & thinking for me to agree to this too... hehe Its all good now.:-) I'm happily adjusting to the way i make and receive calls now thru my pc and MAGIC JACK. THUMBS UP...keep in mind i've only just begun too. (and ready to save at least $30.00 / month. that's a savings of at least $440.00/yr w/out long distance charges even!!) the math alone did it for me :-) ttfn!! :-O

Response from: shirley

I received my magicjack through the mail and it was pretty simple to assemble. My question is WHY DID MY SOUND STOP WORKING ON MY COMPUTER?

Response from: SafireInSumter

Bought mine yesterday and love it! Just finished talking to my daughter in CA and she heard me just fine. I did have to turn the volume up on MagicJack.

Response from: Vonghett Oatis

I just received my magicjack and as of today 5-28-08 i am pretty much satified but what I would like to know is do you have to keep your other local & long distance service and if not how do you cancel it with out canceling your dsl service. I f this service is only $20.00 a year if this is what you choose. how can you keep from paying that high service.

Response from: joe

i am thinking very seriously about purchase of magicjack, i will probably buy , if a few of you guys will email me at :joeaida@comcast.net and let me know more of this almost to good to be true "wonder" thanks very much joe j.

i like to call from this web

Response from: dj

I love my MagicJack. To avoid long distance charges my friends use their free long distance cell phones. I plan to discontinue my landline, as MagicJack works so well. I got the platinum plan so only have to pay about 20.00 a year for 5 full years!

Response from: 1NG

I live in Ontario,Canada and I bought magicjack and I absoutely love it, I discon my regular landline which was almost $40 per month.....the only problem is that I have to use a N.Y phone number as they dont have canadian exchanges as yet.....but its nice when I call my friends they think I am out of the country. I tell them I am in New York even though I am just around the corner most of my long distance is in the United States anyway

Response from: DizzyDame Cruzenby

Hello:
HELP!
I purchased my MagicJack about a month ago. Was so excited about it! I have a humming/static problem.
Got a lot of "I understand" from tech. Finally, they said I need to purchase an AC Powered USB hub. I just purchased a brand new computer.
My problem, my 30 days runs out today. Know I can't send it back. Love the whole concept of MagicJack.
But, am so upset when everyone..says they can't hear me because of all the LOUD HUMMING.
I have spent this whole last month playing with the mic's..booting and rebooting.
Could someone help me?
Carol

Response from: Manny

My MajicJack gives very poor sound quality on in&out going calls when I am downloading and burn on my computer. Why? - When I burn CD's, I also get an echo and the party I call only hears parts of my voice. Why??? (The only time the device works great is when I am not using my computer for anything, is this a glitch with the software or what?? I am running on an HP desktop with a Pen4 CPU 3Ghz/504 MB Ram).

Response from: deonath

my name is Deonath I bought magic jack about four months and it work for a couple of weeks and after I started having problem to day is August 11 08 and I cannot get help and my phone is not working, so if some one can tell me what to do I will apprecate it thank you.

Response from: Bonnie

I have used the MagicJack and it works fine for a while- then all of a sudden the person I am calling can't hear me. I was told to disable my firewall and virus protection because it will interfere with audio quality. Ouch? Who wants to do that.

Response from: Alan

I am a little cautious of it since when I install it, it has an ad window. How are they going to target the ads? Based on who I call? The quality isn't all that great because every time I am doing something on my laptop, the quality starts to flicker. It is cheap, but folks that are buying 3 or 4 years of service in advance are really crazy. Personally, I would prefer to use my phone line on a regular line like Vonaje, Pack8 or TeleBlend. TeleBlend seems like a newcomer so I might give them a whirl.

Response from: Cherry

I don't have a landline phone, only a cell phone. Can I still use a magic jack??? ... I am not a tech person... I have a cable internet connection; is that considered a broadband access???
