Magic Jack, despite being a newcomer to the voice over internet protocol(VOIP) has become quite popular due to its easy installation, convenience of usage and an attractive price for unrestricted local as well as long distance within the US and Canada.

Let us look at this product in more detail and check out on its positive and not so positive points.

Magic Jack Positives
  • The low price is the major positive with this product. At $39.95 + shipping and handling, you can get the cute USB gadget along with the license to make calls for one year. You need to renew the license every year at a cost of $19.95 only. You can get better discounts when you opt for multi year packages.
  • Another great advantage is that you can make free international calls to another person having Magic Jack with him and this facility is a godsend for a family member who is out of the currently in another country. You can ship Magic Jack to him and can make those free calls between yourselves.
  • The package consists of additional features like voice mail, caller ID, call forwarding, 911 and 411 services as well as call waiting services
  • You will be able to definitely save minutes on your mobile by using Magic Jack when you are at home.
  • Magic Jack is compatible with your normal landline as well as cordless phones and for better voice clarity; you can even plug in headsets, while using the speakers and microphone of your computer.
Magic Jack Negatives
  • Your internet has to be of consistent speed with adequate bandwidth, and though this is not exactly a negative for Magic Jack, it means that you need to rely on another service provider for the internet to work smoothly and only then your Magic Jack will perform efficiently. So you need to have one of the broadband, DSL, cable internet or Wi-Fi services, which would ensure good speed and bandwidth.   
  • The 911 service is not the same as your landline system and you need to identify your physical location while setting up Magic Jack. Hence relying only on Magic Jack for this service is not recommended and you need your landline phone as well as a back up.
  • Computer NEEDs to always be on for the Magic Jack to work.

To sum up, you can give Magic Jack a fair trial if you are very keen on free long distance calling. Make sure you do not discard your landline phone just as yet.

I like my magic jack because I'm tired of being robbed from all these phone companies and cell phone contracts too. I'm only using magic jack for my communication needs and I also have a free phone from the GOV. it gives me free minutes every month like clock work. I only use my cell for emergencies only or if I lose my internet connection. but it's well worth it too me, now I actually have some extra spending money for my needs.

I've had my MagicJack now for over 2 years and renewed it for another 5 years. It is simply amazing how much money you can save from the big Telco companies in North America using this device. It is somewhat picky with some phones where the microphone volume is low, even when adjusting the advanced menu microphone volume to the max, but otherwise it's been excellent. One nice feature is the voicemail to email MP3 that gets sent to you as people as trying to get through to you. Buy one today and start saving lots of money yourself!
