Magic Jack is a little USB device, which you can hook it up to your computer’s USB port to make calls to any home telephones. To use it, connect Magic Jack to your computer’s USB port, plug a home phone to the RJ11 port (phone jack) of Magic Jack and the software on it will load automatically to let you dial your numbers for making calls.
Magic Jack costs you only $39.95 for the first year and $19.95 for subsequent years. It’s a complete phone service that comes with a phone number, that you can make local and long distance calls for free in the US and Canada. Besides, it includes free voicemail service for receiving messages whether you’re offline or online. Some other common services seen in phone services such as caller ID, call waiting, free directory assistance, call forwarding, free three way calling, and 911 are also included with Magic Jack.
This is useful for geeks who always stay in front of the computers. Of course, it wouldn’t be that convenient for some users as making calls will need to have your computers turned on. Anyway, it’s simply a cheap package, which has no charges for usage.
A video clip is included below giving you a clear idea on how you can use magic jack on your computer.
Can you use magic jack to make International calls? Yes, you can. International calls made from one magic jack user to another is free. So, if you have a friend or your loved one who lives abroad, you can send him or her a magic jack, as long as you use your magic jack to call his or her magic jack, then you’ll not be charged of any usage, other than the $19.95 annual fee.
But if you use your magic jack to call the home or mobile phone of someone who lives abroad, then you’ll be charged with International minutes. There are a couple of international prepaid packages starting at $5 or at a rate competitive with other VOIP rates, check out Magicjack.com for more info.

I don’t know much about the Magic Jack, but I heard it’s gay. A-holes like Jason and Gus are just convincing people it’s an awesome technology. It’s simply a waste of money and it has too many requirements. If it has too many requirements then how is that convenient?
I know it didn’t say anything about being convenient but what the hell, it should be something easy without too much requirements.
PEOPLE DON’T BUY THIS PRODUCT, YOU WILL JUST WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
Have a Nice Day

Hi, I think your website is interesting very colorful. Good job! I feel helping job seekers finding their ream home jobs are a fulfilling quest. Good luck in your quest too.A couple of days ago we had garbled service, couldn’t understand incoming or outgoing calls. I have the device setup on a XP Dell Inspiron Notebook computer. It is on a Cable modem connected through a Netgear router. I got on MJ site and started a chat session. The first person went through a couple of things with me and it didn’t help at all.

This little gadget works great for me!!
For me, it works better with wired broadband connections. I have no problems with it at all… I LOVE IT! Now, I was wondering if you could use the device without a phone connected to it, ie bluetooth headset perhaps? I hate holding the phone next to my ear, id rather use a bluetooth device instead… Has anybody made it work as such?
Thanks!

I’m with Los for sure. We’ve had a magicJack for over two years now. We’ve had a little trouble here and there, but we absolutely love it. Tech support is great when you have a little glitch, especially since we aren’t the most tech-savvy people in the world!

How can you find a phone number for tech support if you have a glitch or need to contact them. I am changing from land line to internet only and afraid in the process if I lose my majic jack how would I get it back. If anyone has a phone, let me know.

MAGIC JACK SUX.. not only is the customer service bad, you have to leave your computer on all the time if you dont it will corrupt magic jack and it will be a pain in the ass to set it up again. I HATE IT, i hate leaving the computer on 24/7 to use magic jack. Also magic jack will sometimes just not work. you wont get a dial tone.
also our magic jack calls dont show up unless you dial a number then hang up then it will show the last call.
i dont know its cheap but its annoying.
it is good however if your in another country, like australia, you can have someone in the usa setup the account then ship you the magic jack, you can then call usa for free. vice versa the person in usa can call australia then for free as long as there calling a person with magic jack.
