[...] this week launched a device that, much like a MagicJack or Ooma, will connect to your existing home phone and deliver voice calls for a fee. Only this [...]

Im sorry but MJ is horrible I just got my account closed because I had an emergency and made several calls to find a 24hrs on call handy man. So in the event of an emergency it was completely useless. You think youre going to have phone service when it REALLY matters and they ban your account in the process of trying to get help… Horrible service.

First off azzmuncher, turn off your caps lock key... Why do you have to buy another one? You registered one which means you now have a new phone number for it. Did you try calling that new number?? moron

The MagicJack is great for me, though the voice quality is sometimes good, but mostly mediocre. I’ve tried 4 different USB ports (2 on the monitor and 2 on my computer chasis) and they all seem to be the same; so no difference; you’d get echoing at times, and a constant hum. I love the voicemail; and in each call the is coming in and out, is recorded (the amount of time spent chatting). Love the calling waiting feature, as well-all of the features the MJ has are free; love that as well.

I’ve purchased a head-set with noise reduction which is digitally enhanced; hope it works out, but if not, I’m still happy with it. In terms of incoming calls, I forward a 416 toronto line to my magicjack american line (I live in Richmond Hill Ontario/Canada) so any incoming calls are not charged U.S long distance. I could simply be calous and only use it for myself and any incoming calls are charged, but that isn’t in my nature. This is my new land-line; the reason for choosing MJ, is my phone service was with BELL, but with all their lies and deceit, overcharge, I got rid of them; I’ll soon get rid of their TV service, and just use them for internet; I do keep my computer on from morning until evening prior to bed..

I’ve gotten a couple of other people using it, and they’re happy; I’ll keep encouraging people to purchase the service.. :O)

I been reading these post more or less just to pass the time, and this post bothered me a bit.
I worked at RadioShack for almost 2 years, i live in Hawaii and I personally have a magic jack with a LA telephone number… I love my magic jack and have no problem with the service. The only thing i have to say is that the sales person you were talking to (and if you were on the big islan could of been me) did not lie to you… we were infact told that hawaii TNS would be avaliable in 09 (i dont remeber when april i think) by MagicJack Reps, the big boys and they did not pull through on they’re end.
So to all of those reading this, i have been in sales all of my life, and all i have to say is it is people like this which are draging us down… not the ‘president’ ‘Dont Hate on the messenger, we are just doing our job’
Point being, keep it to ur self, both corbarations are full of ‘brown nosers’…

And the Magic jack is great, even if people calling me have to pay, lol they dont have to ;)

Why can’t you receive incoming calls I bought one last week hooked it up and not only called out but I also tested it and called in. It doesn’t ask for a software update or powered hub or change usb ports. I think that you must of had a simple installation problem (as can happen with any program on the market) and when you tried tech support you told them wrong information and made it a bigger deal than it is. My advice would be to uninstall the software, restart the computer. Then install it again clean and make sure it installs correctly. Personally I love my magic jack and my computer is own all the time anyway. I have also used my computer and products such as Flyimage to watch television through it, and have cut out my monthly cable bill. I still have my landline phone though. Just waiting for the number porting option to become available and when it does I will also switch all my business phones to magic jack accounts. Right now total I pay $220 a month for my home and business phones. That’s almost $3,000 a year. $60.00 a year sounds a lot better to me.

Have cable digital phone now. Land-line was disconnected. How to proceed with magicjack? Can entire home-wired phone system be connected, or just a single phone unit? DJC

I use magic jack as my office phone. Works fine, but the customers are beginning to complain about too frequent “all circuits are busy” messages. If magic jack can sell 25 MM units, it can find the circuits to run them.
