Magic Jack mini Jack

Magic Jack is a small (by communication company standards) company that has started selling a USB device. This device plugs into a USB cable on your computer and then allows you to plug a regular land line phone into the Magic Jack. The Vonage appliance seems to do about the same thing for a lot more money.

Setting Up your Magic Jack

Magic Jack Setup is simple. Just plug it into a computer with broadband access, plug a regular phone into Magic Jack and start using it.

Magic Jack Freebies

With Magic Jack Voip phone service you get don't pay extra for directory assistance, a phone number, call waiting, voicemail, or caller ID. Compare this to Skype where you pay $30 a year for unlimited outgoing phone calls (in the US) and $60 a year for incoming phone number. Compare this to Vonage where you get a free month and then you pay $24.95 a month after that. To be fair with Magic Jack you will pay $46.95 for the first year including the USB appliance and $20 a year after that.

Magic Jack Emergency Calls

The Budget VOIP companies normally do not have a way to access local 911 calls. This is because your Magic Jack could be on your laptop in Boston when you live in Montana. I do not know how Magic Jack is dealing with this.
