    AOL refugees designed it. BIG HINT!

    Plugged it into a USB port and watched as it tried to take over sound system on computer. Software is crappy. NO UNINSTALLER!

    Website: Good Lord. Did that make millions with ads guy write it? Don LaPre would be proud of an informercial website.

    Device: Feels kinda cheap. I bet it breaks easy.

    Sound: Call quality sucks. Echoes, tunnel sound, etc.

    Price: Cheap like the device itself.

    I think you need an IT degree to make it work right, but, hey, what do you expect for $39.95. Only AOL software is worse garbage to install on your computer.

    Since they sell this on informercials, that should be the warning.

    Yahoo and GV is free computer to computer and way better sound.

    I bet MagicJack will not be around once nontechies like me get frustrated with it and put up YouTube videos of us burning them at a bonfire.

    If you like it, fine. I don't care. XP Pro system by the way. I did use Vonage once and it was way better.

    MagicJack proves price isn't everything.

    Not a fan of MJ

    Agreed. It truly is a POS. Don't want my computer on 24/7 just to have cheap, unreliable phone service.

    Cameronsfx,

    I do not understand your negativity towards the Magicjack. If you have trouble with it, your frustration is understandable. But, most people use it (without FIOS) with no problem.

    Try to be a little more balanced in your criticisms and people will take them more seriously

    magic jack

    I just got off the line (computer chat) with magic jack, I could not get through to a business teleconference, It seems magic jack is starting their own teleconference system, When I tried to talk to them this was their answer.

    MagicJack

    ..Had MagicJack for seven months and haven't had any problems yet. My system stays on most of the time, so it's a lot better than recieving those Monthly "padded" bills. NO virus content on mine. I like MagicJack.
