Magic Jack

[arntufun]

Does anyone use the Magic Jack for their home phone ????? My cable, internet and phone provider is ripping us off every month and if I can drop the home phone part and replace it with this Magic Jack thingy, it would save us $50.00 a month.

You can't beat the price of 20.00 a year, but im wondering if anyone has it and wants to share thier experience with it.

I've been using it for the last 5 years or so and I love it. I was paying $150.00 per month and now I pay $4.00 for two lines. Get the new Magic Jack that doesn't need the computer to run, that's what I use now.

while not as long as Lamonster. I have had no problems with the magic jack.

The only problem I have had reported is if you have a Fax machine or anything that requires an analog line, it won't work on a digital line which the Magic Jack is. The same holds true with Vonage, Fios, etc.

I had a Magic Jack. It worked as advertised. No problems. However, now I just use my cell phone. I have no land line.

Good Ryding.

Ooma was recently rated #1 for VOIP on Consumer Reports. You buy the box and the service is free (except for taxes). If you do the math and read the reviews on Amazon you'll see this is the least expensive and best service currently available.

We do the same. Don't know why we didn't do it sooner. Plus the added benefit of no nuisance calls.

I use my cell almost completely, and just the Magic Jack for calls that I know I will end up on hold for a while. I am going to let the subscription to the Magic Jack expire when times come, and just make the calls from work (most are 800 anyway) after that. I have not had a land line for over three years now.

I have one question about this magic jack that you are talking about. I get my phone, cable and internet thru my cable company. Do you or someone else thinks it will work thru the cable co if I drop there phone?
Thank You

Yes........... thats excactly what i'm doing now, its working perfectly !!!!! I'm dropping the phone service through my cable co and saving 50.00 a month. Do you have a wireless router in your house ???? If so, get the magic Jack plus so you don't have to plug it into a computer and leave it on.

Hi Randy,
We'll be waiting to hear how you like this new setup...
We've always kept landlines down here for several reasons:
They work even when the power goes out
There simply is no cellular service in our community... (Hidden amongst the mountains)

Will this new setup also drop out if the powergrid takes a dive?

Yes it will

I use the Magic Jack Plus. Easy install... and it works very well... can't tell the difference.

However, the 19.95 a year price is only if you pay in advance for five years... I didn't want to do that on something relatively new. It's $29.95/year on a year-by-year basis.

Plus, the purchase price includes the first year's service.
