So I ordered a Magic Jack the other day. It cost me $50. Their web site says that for $50 I get calls within the US for free, for a year. Yes…for a year. Then after the first year, each year after it is like $20 or $30. Hmmm…I pay $30 a month, not including taxes. That is $360 a year, again, not including taxes. So I decided to get this little gadget and see for myself if it works. I actually installed it today. It took less than 5 minutes, oh, and I did it on my Mac. I called Melanie at the church and it was more clear than my Time Warner Cable phone. I had a friend of mine call me at the new number and he was really impressed. I will play around with it for the next month. If all is good, I am probably going to cancel my TWC phone service. With gas prices going up, we need to save every penny we got. I will post up later my pro/cons of the Magic Jack.
