No you would be getting a separate number so you can have 2.

Oh yea, I just thought it was because it was raining or something. I have free LD here in NS, and pay 5 cents a minute any where else is Canada.

That one call only cost me $7.00, and we talked for like 3 hours.

When it's working, which isn't often, it's fuzzy, it's crackly, it hangs up on people, puts them on hold, you name it.

It's a great idea, if it worked consistently, but it doesn't.

I just paid for 5 years a few months ago. I won't be renewing it when my contract is over.

Magic jack stinks. Every time I call alty... 20 seconds into the conversation (WHEN it actually connects and WHEN she can actually hear me)... I hear elevator music.

Get skype. Much better.

It may or may not be the magicjack. Your provider or computer can also be the reason.

Hi Isneezefunny, since we are being so formal :p

What's the scoop with skype? Do they have that in Canada? Don't you need to have a web cam?

I have to agree.

Hate Magic Jack.

I originally got it talk to Sneezy. Ya kid, it's all because of you. You're to blame. All your fault. Feel bad. ;)

99.9% of the time, it doesn't work. The rest of the time, when it is working, the connection is made, it's still crappy.

Don't know much about skype. Got desperate yesterday and tried to set it up, but it's me, and you know how computer literate I'm not. ;)

Not sure how it works in Canada but in the U.S. cable companies provide phone service and its unlimited calling to ALL of U.S. and Canada as well as a few other countries for about $20 a month.

I admit that it could be my puter, but everything else works fine, so why shouldn't MJ?

I have highspeed internet, runs great. My puter is happy.. ish.

Na, I'm blaming magic jack. ;)

That's what it's basically like in every other province in Canada, except here in NS. We're still kind of backwards here. We only have street names on one end of the street :rolleyes:

Skype is a wonderful amalgamation between a webchat + magic jack.

All you need is a program and you can webchat. If you want to CALL people or want people to call you, then you need a subscription. I pay $2.70 a month to be able to call US and canada (unlimited), and then I roughly pay $6 so that I get assigned a phone number and people are able to call me.

Then there's the chat thing, where you can chat to people and there's the webcam thing, which is nice for those... interesting... conversations.

You also can do many of the same things for free with Yahoo. VOIP isn't as big a deal now as it used to be.

For magic Jack?

I pay $60/5years. And so far, it's not worth the cost. ;)

Sorry, not a big fan after using it for 2 years.

That sounds confusing. I called my mouse my mousey thingy yesterday... I don't really call any one in the US, but for 5 cents a minute for here in Canada, I'll deal with what I have. So what exactly is web chat?

Web chat means I'd have to get dressed when I call my friends.

Or not. :cool: :D

No. Web chat is what your doing here. Its webcamming where you have that option or NOT!

Haha that's what I was thinking. Or at least start shaving more frequently.

So with Skype, you would pay to do what we are doing now?

Make the most of Skype - free internet calls and great value calls

no. you chat in real time... not post something and refresh and whatnot. And that part's free. Webcam part is free as long as you have a camera. You can call each others' computers for free as long as you have a mic/speakers.

Now, calling one's PHONES... cost money.

Ahhhh I get it. Hmm sounds interesting, I may just have to check this out.

Not if you call their computer, I've spoken with a few people all over the world using skype, video call aswel, didn't cost a thing, :D

Like cal mentioned before Yahoo, msn they all have video chat :)

Hey sneezy, long time no chat, things good? :)

Hey albear. Things are as good as they can get. I'm doing all right. I'm taking some time off from work, decided to leave New York and go into... what I like to call... the jungle. Gives me time to... uh... I guess find myself.

No worries :)

Well when you find yourself, hope he's not that bad a guy, I had a friend who went to find himself,he did, turns out he was a right arsehole :(

Well folks, I am going to try and get some sleep. I have an insane amount of doctor's appointments tomorrow. If all goes well I'll be talking to you tomorrow. If not, see you in a few days! :)

Later bella, have a good one, hope all goes well :)

Good thing is, I already know I'm a jerk... so hopefully, I find that same jerk, because if I come out of this thing being a NICE guy, I'm going to be pretty upset.

Fair play :D

Later sneezy and any one else who's still around, I'm off as well, g'night

Ahem, Sneezykins, don't kill me, but you are a nice guy. In fact, you're nicer then even I thought you were, and I thought you were pretty darn nice.

You're just a big softie, with rough edges. ;)

Okay, go ahead, smack me around, I know you're going to. You can't deny that you're nice though. I have proof. :cool:

Night Bella. Get skype. Call me tomorrow.

Hi Bear. :)

I had one that said "I AM the one your mother warned you about."

I can't sleep. All this tossing and turning is making me dizzy.

Stringer, I wish half my exes had that shirt. I wonder if things would be different. Lol probably not.

Don't worry, you're not alone with that Alty ;)
I should try to install it again...

Yay! Sneezy's back! :p

Hello All!

Good to see you again Sneezy.

I once had a shirt that said "which came first, the chicken or the egg" then the picture was of a chicken and egg doing it. So... yea.

Also had another shirt that said "Rock out with your .... out" You know. A little innappropiate for both.

Lol Adam, I had on my phone a picture of the egg and chicken in bed smoking cigarettes and a thought bubble above the egg that said "I think I did"

I have one saying... "Do not disturb. Downloading dreams" :)

I have a few:

"Trust me, I'm a doctor"

"I lie to girls"

"You've been a bad girl, now go to my room"

I'm thinking I should alternate between the last two when I meet my girlfriend's parents. Preferably the "I lie to girls" first... then "you've been a bad girl..."

... yeah, I'm already in their doghouse, why not dig further?

Lol, the all so lengthy acronym 'YBABBNGTMR' of Alty, but where 'boy' is replaced by 'girl' :p

Oh, and Sneezy, if you need anything in Mafia Wars, just let me know. I'll try to give you the item(s) :)

Haha, thanks unky... I usually don't play it religiously. It's something to just pass the time... as I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no car. :(

No problem :)

How the hell do you get stuck in the middle of nowhere, lol? :p

Fortunately, Canada is quite warm now... if it were in full winter! :eek:
