Magic Jack Magic

For people who spend a lot on telephone bills, VoIP telephony can be a huge money saver, especially if they already own a computer and an internet connection. Services like Skype are widely used all over the world by millions of people. Recently, a new and innovative voice over internet protocol service has set many users on fire, due to its extremely low cost and to its attractive features. This new VoIP adapter is called the Magic Jack and it has been invented by Dan Borislow. Its operating principle is simple: the Magic Jack device gets connected to a computer via a USB port, an ordinary phone gets plugged into the other end of the Magic Jack via a standard jack, a software installs itself and the computer turns into a landline telephone, with the only difference that for a yearly fee of almost $40 in the first year and $20 starting with the second year, you can talk as much as you wish inside the United States and Canada, all calls being free of charge. Moreover, for intensive travelers, Magic Jack is even better value, as roaming is usually quite expensive. For a two weeks vacation this may not seem to much of a saving, but when we talk about people traveling across the world for many months a year, then it’s a different story, as all those calls made in roaming may add up to significant amounts. With Magic Jack, all calls to US and Canada numbers are free, no matter wherever you may be when you make the calls. Even better, two Magic Jack owners will always talk for free with each other, independently from their current locations. With free features such as voicemail, call forwarding, caller ID and conference calling, there’s no wonder that the device sold like crazy even from the first days of launch. Who doesn’t want to talk for free, after all?

Before buying Magic Jack, make sure you have the following: a computer operated by either Windows XP or Vista, or Intel Mac, with a free USB port and a good internet connection, preferably broadband, cable internet or anything else that provides high speed. Although some users reported that they were able to use Magic Jack with dial-up internet connections, this is not a rule, and the service may not work seamlessly in such cases. So, if you meet all above mentioned conditions and you are a resident of US or Canada, you can try MagicJack for 30 days for free and with no further obligations.
