I was able to register the product, then select pretty much any unused phone number I wanted in the US. This is even easier than the Ooma Telo setup, which is still a very easy system to install. Plugging in the phone to magicJack, then plugging magicJack into my USB port took all of 10 seconds and the magicJack installation screen appeared immediately. $40 spent and I was ready to follow the directions.

The directions to install the magicJack are about as simple as you’ll ever find directions to be:Īn added expense of magicJack, at least for me was the one time purchase of a Panasonic phone because I didn’t not have any handsets available.

Included in the package are two pieces of hardware the magicJack and a USB extension cord of around 6 inches. The magicJack arrives in a Styrofoam cover and the entire package can’t weigh more than half a pound.

So I went for it and I’m kicking myself for not going for it sooner.

The initial cost of $40 for the magicJack and a year’s worth of service was certainly a lot less than Skype and Vonage and if it didn’t work, I could always return it within the 30-day free trial period. But the more I had researched magicJack, the more I wanted to give them a go. I had heard of internet phone services like Skype, Vonage, Ooma, and magicJack before but was always hesitant to test them out. Partly because I never use my cell phone and that $50 a month for 400 minutes of talking is already a tough sell. Why magicJack is AWESOMEįor the last three years, I’ve been overpaying for my cell phone service. I suppose as it takes millions of dollars in research and trials before something is “ready to use” but sometimes, we’re lucky enough to see technology advance us and allow us to save money at the same. With the continued improvements made in technology, it seems the better something becomes, the more expensive it becomes.
