Re: Anyone use Vonage?

So can people with dial up use MagicJack?

Re: Anyone use Vonage?

For those who wanted to know how well the magicjack worked; well, I received mine this morning and it is GREAT. The sound quality is the same as a landline. People cannot tell the difference. I have been on the phone most of the morning giving everyone my new number. I just pluged my cordless phone into the jack then pluged the jack into a USB port on my computer and went into the living room sat in my overstuffed recliner and made my calls.

I like free, free is a good thing.

God Bless

Re: Anyone use Vonage?

Magic Jack isn't available here in AK. Caller ID was just made available here on the island.
I use my cell phone for long distance and landline for local. Neither is cheap here.

I do know I like this magicjack. I was told by the company that when My husband and I traveled I could switch the jack from my desktop to my laptop and when we stayed in a Motel that had internet connection that we could make any calls we might want to.

Re: Anyone use Vonage?

Been using Vonage since 2004. Reliability and call quality wasn't great, at first, but has been much better the last year or two.

Of course, you're at the mercy of your internet connection. Mine has been flaky lately, so we lose phone (briefly) now and then. I also have a land line, for work, and incoming calls forward to it when the Vonage phone is down, so that's a nice backup. Cell phone could serve the purpose too, of course.

The free (with the $25 plan) long distance (US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and a few countries in Europe) is nice, and the included features (voice mail, conference calling, etc.) make it a great deal, IMO.

Anywhere that you can connect infact. So if I take my laptop to church and we have a wireless connection, I can also make phone calls.

Here is the problem though. The Magicjack is powered by the USB port. If the USB port is for some reason not able to provide enough power then it will not work and you will need to get some way of boosting it. With a Laptop then you might want to use your power adapter. Or close down other running programs
