What Is Magic Jack?

Magic Jack Internet Phone is a revolutionary newcomer to VOIP (voice over internet protocol) technology.  Popularity has grown for internet voice telephone calls in the past few years as the cost is significantly cheaper than the traditional phone companies. Magic Jack is already blowing the other voip companies such as Vonage and Skype out of the water with their cheap flat-rate $19.95/year for unlimited local and long distance calling.  Magic Jack customers don’t have to be technological geniuses to use this simple device.  Simply plug the Magic Jack USB device into a USB port on your computer. Set up only takes a couple of minutes and you’re on your way to free calling.  Any regular land-line type phone can be used to make calls. You may also use a headset,  or even your computer’s built-in microphone and speakers.

With Magic Jack, you can make a phone call to any phone in the United States or Canada:  landline phones, cell phones, computer phones. You will be able to receive calls from any of these phones also. You pay one license fee per year (currently at $19.95) and this enables you to call all you want.  If you want to talk to Aunt Mary for 3 days on the telephone, go right ahead…there are no limitations to the length or frequency of calls.

The requirements for being able to use a Magic Jack are: 

  • Having a high-speed internet connection such as broadband, cable internet, DSL, wireless, Wi-Fi, WiMax or FIOS.  Magic Jack is not recommended for use with satellite internet.
  • Microsoft Windows XP or Vista, Apple/Mac with Intel.

Your computer does have to be on for you to make or receive calls with Magic Jack.  If your computer is off and someone tries to call you, that call will be forwarded to your voice mail so that person can leave a message for you.

    To use Magic Jack from India, you need to get someone you know in the United States to order it and then mail it to you. Then you could call anywhere in the US or Canada for free, but not to other countries.
