Customer Reviews

PERFECTLY PERFECT!!!!!!
I believe the previous reviewer may have received a defective unit or something. My magicjack is great --- quality as good as landline and so close to free. This phone comes with all the services you could want -- those that the phone company charges $6-$8 monthly for each one. What I love about the voicemail is that every voicemail generates an email and you can listen to your messages on any computer (or of course you can access it from your phone). You can go online and forward your MJ number to another number in the event of a power outage too. I just love this and with my family all over the country it's really great to talk long distance all I want to, with landline quality, free. You can't go wrong here.

Works great for deploying soldiers
this item is really good. Im currently deployed in Iraq and the magic jack works great at the "internet cafe" we got over here. My phone calls are free to the States and Puerto Rico. I can even receive calls when is plugged in and the internet running of course. And when not, you will receive an email with a voice message attach. Is really nice. It save me a lot of money (phone cards).

Bottom Line: Works as Advertised
This is not a perfect device, but the bottom line is that it works as advertised and has replaced the need for a landline phone or more expensive VOIP service.

I've had the magic jack for about 2 months now, and the biggest problem is that once every minute or two, I experience a 1 second dead spot where I cannot hear the person on the other end. Other than that, no issues with outgoing or incoming calls. One feature I really like is that voice messages are emailed to you so you can check them when you're not home.

Installation was easy after I found a usb port with enough juice to power it up, and I have used customer support chat twice with very good results each time.

In summary, I think this product offers huge bang for buck and is perfect for personal/family use as a replacement for a much more expensive home phoneline option. I would not use it or recommend it as a sole means of phone service for a professional capacity, but it's easily good enough for private use and definitely worth every penny.
