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
