Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Add magicJack Telephone Adapter to your PC and you can make telephone calls within the USA and Canada for FREE! Skype uses a peer-to-peer network, whereas magicJack uses a dedicated telephone network

Other VoIP carriers do not have dedicated telephone networks, and lease this service from other companies. That means higher costs and poorer reliability. magicJack uses its own dedicated telephone network. You can use magicJack with either a regular telephone handset, or with a headset. You can also use both, and switch between the two. You can move magicJack between Internet providers. You can use magicJack from anywhere in the world (where broadband web access is available). It requires - PC - Windows XP or Vista operating system; (Mac/Apple expected soon); Broadband, high-speed internet, cable internet, DSL - WiFi - WiMax
magicJack comes with an easy-to-use device to allow you to use a regular telephone handset. Service is free for 1st year. $20 per year thereafter.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Its ok for a 2nd line, But.....
OK this divice does work. However ther are some caviats. First I have found that some numbers I attempt to call will not complete. They go into a black hole. You must have a fast internet connection for this to work. I have used it on both my Fios and Sprint Data Card.

They say $19 to renew but I have yet to be able to do this. The browser complains about the link.

Now for something they dont tell you. First of all you have no privacy with the Magic Jack. Read ... Read More
