The magicJack is a sweet little gadget that installs some software after you get plugged in via USB, then connecting the other end to a phone jack in your home. This lets you use your standard house phone to make calls for free. A few other features include caller ID, call waiting, and call forwarding. No Mac support (doh!), just XP and launching this April, but no price announced.

The MagicJack shouldnÂ’t be connected to the USB port of a running computer, but directly to the DSL modem or the router. It could get itÂ’s energy from the routerÂ’s Ethernet port. The entire phone software should be embedded in the device and not rel…
It is very similar device I saw it, I use google to search, someone call flasphone and come from mplat.com , and almost one years before.
I guess, MagicJack don’t have core technology.
Worst voice quality. Can not communicate. No phone number to call for tech support.

I got one Magic Jack from a representative in Miami. I live in Kingston Jamaica, i Have high speed internet service provided by www.flowjamaica.com,it’s hooked up to my hh laptop computer. The computer is seeing the Magic Jack, however, it does not make any connection to the service provider, hence it keeps “waiting for proxy recognition” and does not access the network. What’s the problem?
I am having the similar problem as Tony M. the frigging just sits there and says “please connect to the internet and double click here (error3)” even though I am connected to the internet. And of course there is no support from this company to assist
Not sure about this. Can’t get any help to receive calls, and it keeps telling me I don’t have computer support. Kind of a waste of time. NO ONE TO CALL WITH PROBLEMS IS A REAL CONCERN FOR ME.
Can you make long distance calls to other countries, IE south america, europe, asia.with the magicjack.
I want to know how this device deal with international calls from other countries to United States, are these calls free?., are they included in the service without charge to me?. Please respond as soon as possible.
One more think, how is posible to talk to customer resvice for technical assistance?, the 800 number posted in your adds never able to talk to somebody. Please reply.
We recently got a magicjack, the frigging thing is useless, what a rip-off, can’t communicate, can’t send or recieve calls, and the magicjack data base has a very limited group of area codes, so if it did work and my next door neighbor calls us, it would cost them long distance charges, it just plain sux.
I have had my home phone number for 30 years and I do not want to lose the number everyone knows. Can I just use M/J for long distance then remove it and use my home phone number?
Thank You

I got magic jack to work beautifully within the States and to Canada, but couldn’t do overseas call connections even to Jamaica, so I’m not sure if I took the device while on business in the Pacific, (NZ and Australia) if the device will trully work for USA calls. Any comments cos I couldn’t even raise technical or customer support via phone or email.
I was just ready to buy into the thing, but after reading the
6 Responses to “Use magicJack to make free phone calls”, I have second thoughts about it. Are there any positives about it out there? Is it worth buying into it at all? Jeff
not getting incoming calls. phone does not ring. answering service does not work. outgoing calls work fine.
