Does Magic Jack Really Work?
Magic Jack is a computer peripheral USB device that users may use to make phone calls over the internet. The USB device permits attachment to a traditional landline phone or fax machine. The actual device is plug and play, easily installed, and supposedly requires little or no configuration. MagicJack is said to include support for call waiting, voice mail messages (to be delivered via email), and caller ID. Users are to be assigned a phone number of choice, and they may use the system to make local and international phone calls for a small fee. Magic Jack comes with software that must be installed on a computer before use.

Magic Jack Reviews
I have used Magic jack for 6 years from FL.,AL.,MS. I have plugged to my computor and I have only had 1 dropped call. I have tried to call a Colo. number that for what ever reason I can no longer call. But ,it beats paying 89.00 a month for phone service and all there taxe’s.

I have just renewed for the 4th year and works well (for international calls), but was ready to ditch the device due to dropped calls. I tried everything, and finally changed the laptop it was attached to and have had no trouble since. MJ did NOT work with an ACER laptop and VISTA. Happy once again.

I got one and after saying on TV that I did not need a computer, I found that I needed a high speed internet connection to use this. I WILL NOT refer this to anyone. A bunch of lies that’s all this is.

I purchased Magic Jack in hopes of having a good source of communications with my home business. Unfortunately, I would have numerous conversations dropped at very key points of the presention. After only a couple of months I had to go back to my mobile phone to insure an introduction to the close conversation. Sorry Magic Jack.

I’ve had magic jack for almost one year and I’ve had no problems with it. I’m about to renew my subscription.

Buyer beware! It’s cheap for a reason! It doesn’t work! I had Magic Jack trying to save some money on my phone bill. But my calls would drop, I would hear every other word, and sometimes, I could even hear background noise. Once in a while, I could even hear other people conversations! Scary to think, someone else might have listen to one of my conversations on a private matter, and I wouldn’t even known it!!!!

Magic Jack is a piece of crap and I would NOT recommend it to anyone. With a broadband internet connection it still is completely unreliable and annoying. Other than the constant skip skip skip miss every other word communication, there is a constant ticking in the line. Even at on $19.95 a year, it is still a rip-off.

My magic Jack worked for about a month then it started dropping calls. It would show as connected on me computer until I dialed then I would get a message saying I needed to connect to the internet. And I would need to at that point. It seemed like magic jack was disconnecting me. Now I just give out the number to people and companies I don’t want to actually talk to. I can still listen to my magic jack voice mail because I get them via email.
