Very bad, no support then charged me for a renewal without my consent. I hate when they do that. Waste of Money and time. Very bad, no support then charged me for a renewal without my consent.

All the problems that I've had were due to my own network problems and the drivers that came with the MagicJack. Within about a month or 2 MS update installed new drivers and ever since then I've had no problems. I'm a shadetree techie and I have found that the most common problems are home networks and slow internet connections. I have been using it 4 about 6 months now.

International calls "forget about it". I returned it but I still get charged for switch phone number! No CUSTOMER SERVICE!!A phone provider company don't have a phone contact? That is moronic!! It's not worth all the trouble!! I try Magicjack but the calls to a cellular phone were terribly. International calls “forget about it”. I returned it but I still get charged for switch phone number!

Truly awful but fascinating. They would not let me downgrade to the previous version which had a setting for Air Card so a throttling down possibility. These techs had me messing with the Registry without doing a backup. I could not believe their lack of training. And the most advanced tech actually wiped out my internet connection. They were so poorly trained that I found it truly awe inspiring. All I wanted was a downgrade. The stupid and mostly useless magicjack upgrades without asking. The pleasant but useless techs had me installing over and over when that was not the problem. Fortunately I have a backup and the old version archived so I'll do this myself. Incompetent and dangerous are the techs so beware, especially as you escalate the problem. I won't be renewing unless I am desperate. Spent 3 hours with magicjack and 3 levels of tech support.

I was deleting my partitions and accidentally deleted the MJ's. I spent about an hour with tier 1 and 2 and we finally got it resolved. The experience was excellent! They were professional and courteous and they helped me fix my own error. Most other CS persons would wash their hands of it and punt it. Is it worth the price.... absolutely! Oh, no name: I first installed it on my wireless laptop too and was not impressed by the quality. Once I moved it to my server it sounds perfect! There are a few times when the quality goes down but I think that may have something to do with my server's RAM which is low. I'm happy to use something that costs a fraction of what the alternatives cost! I just wanted to share a great experience with Magic Jack!

This service ONLY costs $19.95/year and with a 5 year license extension it costs only $12.00/year! That's $1.67/month the 1st year then $1.00/month each year thereafter. Don't believe any of the BAD PRESS you may hear about the service. I discovered what the "technical" problem was, because it actually happened to me. I was having audio and connection problems until I solved the technical problem of my computer's USB bus drawing over 500 mA, actually 580 mA, with everything plugged into the bus. My eMachine computer, Model T2882, only has a 250 Watt power supply and that was working at its limits with all the computer cards and USB devices that I had plugged into the machine were demanding current. The attached links is how I solved the problem for less than $20.00! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLoYFE7Svv8 http://drbray.blogspot.com/2008/12/magicjack-reality.html This is the least expensive and probably the best telephone service that I have EVER used!
