Hello,


I'm not attempting to spam by anymeans. I'm just tryingito test the waters about this product I seen on the TV this morning. Apparently you pay 40 bucks for this USB device and get a whole year free of calling. The second year is 19.99. This includes anywhere in the US or Canada. It's alot like skype or Vonage's usb device.


I tend to go on the road alot and my cell phone costs are horrible some times.  PC magazine likes it. But others on other forums complain alot about it.


Like I said I wanted true opinions before I try it.


Thanks.

MagicJack® Set Up




 


After you have connected the dongel for the first time, registered the device, and have the 'softphone' on the screen, you should probably run TCP Optimizer to “tune” your computer to work with it in an efficient manner; it can be downloaded from the following website:




 


http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php




 


You can use the TCP Optimizer by following these short instructions:




 




  1. Choose your maximum Connection Speed from the slider bar (the maximum available bandwidth, in kilobits per second)




  2. Choose your Network Interface, or check to Modify All Network Adapters




  3. Pick "Optimal settings" from the radio-buttons near the bottom of the program




  4. Click on the "Apply changes" button and reboot






 


MagicJack® Uses




 




  1. Inexpensive Secondary Telephone Service




  2. Excellent adjunct to expensive prime time and/or poor indoor Cellular Telephone Service




  3. Distribute magicJack® phone number to all contacts as primary contact number




  4. When outdoors have the magicJack® phone number forwarded to cell phone




  5. When indoors use magickJack® phone number to reach and be reached by contacts

To whatever the previouse poster said-----


Why do all that, it is insane, too complicated and not user freindly. Not only that but wait untill ISP's start charging for bandwidth usage, that 19.99 is gonna be a whole lot more.
