MagicJack VOIP Service Review

Love the Magic Jack. I havent had any Problems using it.

  It works Great, Sounds Great can call out and recive call just fine (other users have reported problems, I think they need to check there Firewall settings).

magicJack is a superior telecommunications subistute, it can be used to call any cell and land line # execpt 900 # i belive.

As others have said, I ran in to the same problems, They did not have a local Prefix for my area. I was however able to get  my area code but it is long distance for other to call me with out a local prefix since my ares code covers over 40% of the state.

They probley should not sell it if numbers are not available, you should be able to request a Number at the time of purchase and be able to cancle the order if a local number is not availble.

You can change you # once with out charge so when a Local number dose open up you can change it for free but they do not offer a service to let a coustomer know when a number is available.

You should know this before getting rid of you land line phoneDiscription from their site:

magicJack is an easy-to-use, portable device that allows you to use a standard telephone, corded or cordless, or even a headset/mic combination. No special equipment is required.

magicJack customers pay one low upfront cost for the device and their first year of service is included at no additional charge. For one low annual price, magicJack customers receive local and long distance calling to the United States and Canada. magicJack customers will never see a monthly phone bill.

magicJack has an actual dedicated telephone network along with interexchange agreements with our peer telecommunications providers. Other VoIP providers lease their entire network from third-party carriers and this may result in higher costs and less reliable networks and call quality.
