People, save yourself some money and go buy one of these. They are the bomb. I thought they were to good to be true, but they really are great and for the price there is no better phone service than this. **** not sure if an advertisement or not, edited just in case ***** FC
Can't blame you there, and yes your pc does have to be up and running, but when the pc goes into sleep mode it still works fine and I have always left mine on anyway with as little energy as it uses. Like I said before, this is an awesome little device and anyone will agree after saving between $500.00 and $1200.00 per year on a phone bill.
The only drawback I can even think of, is the fact that you can't have your number ported in yet, but the techs there tell me this is coming in the near future.
Cowboyfan, It "Appears?" to be a great thing, Time will tell, I Love things that work, and are a good Deal.
I think many here may be Older(like Myself), and feel If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. (Because of the Last 100 GREAT Deals?). Hope it works for you.
Two things bother me here. The first is your evangelical support for the service. You seem too entusiastic promoting something that you would appear to get something for.
The second thing, is the financial model for the company. Apparently they are relying on advertiser support to pay the bills. That model is a chancy one and has caused the downfall of many dot.coms.
So what happens in a year? If you don't lock in the $19.95 renewal and they raise their pricing, where are you? Or what happens if you invest and prepay for next year or further and they go bellyup? Not only do you lose the service, but you lose your phone number.
I'm not saying this isn't a good deal and should not be looked closely at, but its not all a bed of roses. If you look at that support forum, you will see not all users got it to work as well as you did.
Yes many companies in the early phone systems have come and gone. And sadly even some good ones get bought out and closed by competitors. But if something sounds too good, I am always careful
Since nothing is "free" someone or something is paying the bills.
Musicman, propaganda can make crap look good or quality stuff look bad. Who wrote what you heard. I would consider the source either way. Maybe check Consumer Reports.
Found a lot of customer comments, they could work for a competetor or could be Magic Jack PR people: The Magic behind MagicJack - GigaOM
Doesn't look good. Take Care
