MagicJack - Video Tutorial Setting It Up on a MacBook Pro
http://grnsuccess.TheInnerCircleMasters.com
Magic Jack officially launched in March 2008 where they have been giving away the magic jack device and a year’s worth of long distance in the us and canada for free. A second year can be had for just more.
The magic jack actually cost me for the unit and shipping and the first year’s service, but considering all the alternatives out there, this is by far the coolest and cheapest feature filled telephone service I’ve come across.
The magic jack also gets kudos for being mac compatible - assuming you are running a newer mac with the Intel processors.
Magic jack is true to their word as far as initial set-up goes. After removing the unit from it’s packaging and plugging in the optional USB extension cord, I plugged in my phone jack at one end and the magic jack into my computer’s USB port. It should be noted that for whatever reason, magic jack says you can’t plug it into a hub for it to work.
After launching the magicJack application, it walks you through the registration process where you enter your email, password, home address etc. Then you get to pick an area code from a list of dozens of metropolitan markets across the United States. You don’t have to pick a local number exchange unless you want to. Once that’s complete, you are ready to rock and roll.
You also get caller ID, call waiting and voice mail free with the magicJack service. Setting up voice mail is simple enough as the menu walks you through it so you can personalize your greeting, busy message and name if you choose.
MagicJack also works with 911 - one of the reasons why you are asked to input your address. This is how they are able to determine where you are. And this is key as you can take your magicJack ANYWHERE and use it. You could be in a hotel room or on the other side of the world and so long as you have internet access (except dial-up as that isn’t fast enough), you can make and receive calls all day long. So if you are in an area that is serviced by 911, it is recommended to add the address where you currently are to the pull down menu on the magicJack application.
Finally, you don’t have to have your phone plugged in or your computer on for magicJack to work. IF your computer is off or the magicJack is unplugged, callers will simply get your voicemail. You can always check for messages once you have it back on. In fact, magicJack will show if you have messages waiting.
So there you have it, magicJack, giving phone companies a run for their money. You can get yours over at http://www.magicjack.com

your a dumbass lovefriend go back to school. jaipeecel your right lol.
Magicjack works as they said it would. Bought a couple of them to share with my Canadian friends. The price is right.
God dam it, *Bills*
Im talking about regular phone bulls dude.
pay out the ass every month? there is no monthly charge - you pay for the device after 30 days and then call all you want for free for the first year. It’s not unlike skype’s initial approach - get people hooked and then once built a customer base, start charging.
Hardly, and they clearly say they will charge you on the 31st day. Its not being Spoiled Some people just don’t want to pay out the ass every month for something that does the same thing.
duh… the service is free - the jack isn’t. What’s with people thinking that if you don’t get stuff for free, then it ’sucks’?
I remember when there weren’t cellphones but for the rich and home line long distance service was considered a deal at 10 cents a minute.
People are just too frickin’ spoiled these days.
lovefriend..you’re a moron.
As you said this is FREE NOPE!!!!! you get charged 39.95 on the 31st day IF you dont return it so it sucks!
