Magic Jack internet phone allows the owner to make Unlimited and local long distance calls in the United States and Canada. Magic Jack is a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone service that connects to your computer not your modem like other VoIP phone services. Magic Jack costs $39.95 for the device and first full year of service and then $19.95 a year after that. It’s just like your regular phone service. Anyone can call from any phone without addition charges to you or special numbers and it’s just $19.95 a year for quality phone service. That's insane! You get a free phone number, caller ID, voice mail, and call waiting. Ya, I know $19.95 a year, WOW!
Availability of some local area codes and prefix’s are in short supply. If you have to take an alternate area code or prefix then incoming local calls will cost the caller a long distance call. One way around this, until an area code or prefix in your area is accessible is, by using your caller ID, do not answer the call and simply call them straight back with no cost to them. I know this is a minor bit of a hassle but for $19.95 a year.
Five minutes or so is all that is needed to get your Magic Jack connected. After easy step by step instructions that appear on your computer screen after plugging your Magic Jack in, plugging in your phone, you will hear that old familiar dial tone. A lot of the calls are as clear as the landline you have replaced, not all but most.
You can take it with you on trips and attach through your note book everywhere you can obtain a wireless Internet connection, which is about everywhere nowadays that alone can save tons of money on cell phone calls if you travel a lot. Magic Jack offers portability that other VoIP providers don’t.
The thing that you do need to know is that your computer has to be on to receive calls. If there is a power outage or problems with your service provider it does not work.
If your area code and prefix is not available then people calling from your area may be charged a long distance call.

Magic jack - sounds too goo to be true. It is.
The phone cuts out every 3o seconds or so. You are always repeating, or saying what?
So I bought a new one. Worked GREAT! for a week. Now less than three months in , it won't work. And I am out of luck.
There is no service, only a chat box on line. They offer no help. I wanted to transfer my remaining 9 months to the old box. Not their policy... So they ended the session.
Its a crap shoot. Sorry service is better than NO service, and I've had both. Neither is very good.
Oh, and the 19.95 a year - does not include the product so its 39.95 for a year, unless you have a problem before then..
Use at your own risk.
Sorry company, cheap product, and no service.
If you like, throw that money away to me and I'll at least thank you!
