we have one here in Canada and sent one to in-laws in UK.
we rarely use it as they can call over here to our landline with theirs.
but i still use mine for long distance in north america and think it works great.
my internet has a sustained speed of 110 k or mosre is that sufficient?
Thanks
Overall the product works well.
Doesn't like the call in function, on DN sub receivers. But works enough to keep the $5 charge from being applied if you don't have a phone hooked up.
I have one at work for customers to use, keeps me from getting dinged for long distance charges.
My better half takes one with her and a very small handset, for calling home when out of town working or in another country. Saves on long distance charges to call North America.
That MJ is registered in NA so it would be a local call when taken anywhere else in the world.
I use majic jack on cable if you have a good high speed connection it is the way to go. My only problem with them is after a year it is hard to renew the majic jack, my guess is to sell more majic jack. Either way it is worth it in my opinion.
Mine expired after the first year,with the on screen logo,I updated it via credit card in seconds,and had a dial tone within 2 minutes.For the price and the value,its amazing.
I use it as a fax pick up. and call out Long distance.
works 90% of time, sometimes have to restart it.
MJ Rocks,high speed internet and the faster the computer the better, if you have the means hook up a computer just for the Magicjack, as for overseas calls use a long distance card (I use chi chi) around the holidays ie Christmas the airwaves get allitle busy and you can get a Canadian prefix for $40, best invention since sliced bread.
Yep i have one with a Canadian # and it works really well and have no complaints but i was using one with an American #and i found it did not works as good.
I`m in the USA have had my MJ 1 1/2 years now and it work pretty good for the 19.95 per year , only problem is dialing in my own prefix sometimes it dosn`t work but for the most part cant beat the price
I had one for one and a half years.
It burned out after four months and they replace it after chatting on line for four hours.
Two months ago it burned again and after a few hours on line chatting they said they had to charge me for the replacement and i declined not to pay for it and i am not with them any more due to the fact i had often a bad echo reception that the people on the other line could not hear me.
For me Magic Jack is Majic Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!! not worth it.
The downside with MJ is it doesn't fax very well. You have to slow your fax speed down if your unit has that option. I went with Net Talk which is $100.00 but never needs renewed and runs a fax with no problems. Just google VOiP and make a choice.
