You’ve seen it on TV but either haven’t paid attention or thought it was junk. I saw it this morning at my local CVS and decided to give it a try. First, let me say that I am impressed. The second thing I would say is that it is probably the death for Vonage and the like. You won’t pay $29.95 a month, not $19.95 a month but just $19.95 per year. What is even better is that you can lock in 5 years for just $59.95. That’s just $12 per year for free local and long distance calling in the US and Canada.
Installation is a breeze. Just take it out of the package and plug it into a unused USB port. Then connect a regular phone into the other end. The software will automatically load and setting up an account took me less than 5 minutes. You can pick an area code in your area or choose one in your favorite town ie: Las Vegas or Beverly Hills. That’s it and you are calling for free. The reception was as good as my Road Runner telephone service. Do you have any experience with the Magic Jack service? I’d like to know what others think. BTW: It comes with free voice mail.
