Has anyone ever tried this device or is presently using it?
It hooks up to one of your computer's USB ports and it allows you to make calls as you please, whenever you please. You plug the phone jack into the device.
Then you call the co to get your account set up with the provider. I'm told that THEY will then automatically call your present telephone service provider and cancel your service with that co first and then sign you up for phone service with the Magic Jack.
I'm very seriously considering getting this device and saying goodbye to Comcast for phone service, but before I do, there are a few questions that I think need to be answered;
1. If you have it, how do you like it?
2. Does it deliver the goods?
3. Is it really only $20. a year, or are their also hidden chages that come with it?
4. Are you offered customer or tech support if there's ever a problem?
5. Do you have to be online to be able to use it, since it plugs into you pc's USB cord?
These things i have to know beforehand, as it will help me make a dicision as to whether I still want it or not.
Otherwise I'll go back with Vonage. But in either case, I'm LEAVING Comcast's phone service for a much cheaper alternative one to save money and help make my budget that much more managable!
Here's a pic of what it looks like.
