The Magic Jack is a nifty little device that could be plugged into one of your computer’s USB port. A telephone is then connected into the magic jack. This simple system allows you all the free domestic calls you will ever hope to make. International calls could also be made at very low rates. This presupposes, of course, that you have the necessary minimum computer programs and more importantly, that you have high-speed internet connection which comes in handy so you can find cell phone numbers online and place the call on the same screen.
Makers of this gadget offer a free trial period for its users, and this makes it very difficult to resist buying it. After all, calls made with the magic jack are clearer than PC to PC calls. Also, you get a number that is yours forever; this is the number that registers when you use your magic jack to make your calls.
The downside, however, is that it is not possible to use the Magic Jack if you are using satellite internet service. According to the manufacturer’s website, satellite internet is slower than cable, and you really would not want slow internet connection when planning to use the magic jack. Overall, the Magic Jack is a good-buy for those who want an extra phone.
