Okay so a customer at work tells me about Magic Jack, this wonderful USB device that you simply plug into your computer's USB port then plug any standard phone into this device and viola! Free phone calls anywhere! Well at least for 30-days but the annual subscription is $20 for unlimited local and domestic long distance phone calls.
My customer tells me his wife calls China everyday for just an addtional $5 per year.
The unit is $39 plus s+h and requires a broadband connection and a computer online. It includes caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding and voicemail. Magic Jack also gives you a phone number but in time will allow you to "port" your existing phone number to this unit. Your computer can be off or offline to receive voicemail.
I'm intrigued into getting one as my HawTel phone bill is getting out of hand. The fact that you can take voice mail messges while your computer is off is interesting so that you don't miss a call.
This unit can make calls either thru a standard phone plugged into the Magic Jack or you can use your computer's mic/speaker and on-screen dial pad to make and receive calls.
The reviews have been all over the board from piece of crap to wonderful. Has anyone here used or have heard of this device? I'm so really wanting to get this thing really badly but it's the reviews that I'm concerned about.
