What I found was a VoIP device that you could either plug into your computers USB port or directly to your modem, connect a regular phone to and make free local and long distance phone calls within the united states and Canada for next to nothing!. The greatest thing about it was it worked just like my AT&T land line that I couldn’t afford any longer – even better

.  

The VoIP phone device and my first full year of phone service was only $39.95 and then only $19.95 renewal fee each year after that. This internet phone service was of course the Magic Jack. Sense then Magic Jack has become the Magic Jack Plus which is an updated version. It cost a little more now, but is still a hell of a bargain for $69.95 for the unit and first full year of VoIP internet phone service.

As Close to Free Phone Service as You Are Going To Get

Like I said I wanted to know – how can I get free phone service, like the old saying goes, nothing any good is free, but with Magic Jack Plus it is a terrific VoIP service and product; and as close to free phone service as you are going to get.

How does MagicJack Work?

There are two main differences in the way MagicJack works from other VoIP providers. First - it plugs into your computer like a flash drive and not your modem. This makes the device totally portable and can be taken and plugged into any computer with high speed internet. The one problem with this is your computer must be running at all times to receive calls.

The Magic Jack dongle has within it a small circuit board that has a read only memory chip with preloaded software. Plugging the dongle into a USB port like you would a flash drive initiates a setup process. No software is loaded directly to your computer. Displayed on your computer screen is the soft phone once the setup is complete. The simplicity of this type of VoIP technology makes it so that anyone can use it

Second once the initial price of $39.95 is paid for device and first year of service all local and long distance calls are free. You renew your service once a year for $19.95 to keep service. Monthly fees are nonexistent when calling the US or Canada. Minute rates for international calling can be purchased if needed.

You can start making calls as soon as you plug a phone into Magic Jack. Information and phone numbers can be stored in your contact lists within your soft phone of incoming or outgoing calls. It will show you the number or name of the person who is calling you on the soft phone display. An analog single from your phone is transformed to digital and sent across the internet like an email message.

Why so cheap?

Other VoIP companies need to lease the networks of switches and gateways from telecom companies where Magic Jack does not, making it possible to offer a less than $20.00 a year for full phone service
