If you've thought about getting rid of your landline service because of high phone bills, magicJack may be for you. For $39.99, you will receive the magicJack unit, which is about the size of a pack of Tic Tac's. It comes in pink or blue, and includes a year of calls with purchase. Calls are only $19.99 per additional year, yes year.
Setup is a breeze: Simply plug the magicJack unit into any USB port in your computer and the software automatically loads. In seconds you will be assigned a phone number (you will soon be able to transfer your current number). Plug any standard landline phone into the magicJack's phone jack and you are ready to make calls. You can also forego the phone and use magicJack from your computer with your microphone or headset.
MagicJack comes with all of the features you have come to expect with landline service: Call waiting, 3-way calling, voicemail, caller ID, 911 service, call forwarding and even free calls to 411.
Call quality is generally exceptional, but there is the occasional call where you can hear an echo, or times when the other party says you sound soft. I haven't concluded whether or not this is from the magicJack or from the internet connection.
The only real downside to magicJack is that your computer must remain on at all times to receive phone calls. You also must have an active internet connection. In addition, there have been a few times that I've called my magicJack number and received an automated message saying "All circuits are busy."
Overall, this is a great product for the price, and even with the occasional quirk you can't go wrong for $19.99 per year.
