(The magicJack comes with a 6-inch USB extension cable in case it interferes with other devices plugged into your USB ports.) Now you can make free calls with VoIP - they’re routed through the Internet. You plug the magicJack into a free USB port, then plug your phone line into the gizmo. But with almost all of my communication through e-mail, I decided to dump one and replace it with a magicJack.
I used to have three phone lines, and for years I needed all of them. (Fair warning: My magicJack review is long, way more than I usually allocate for one newsletter.) Making the Switch to magicJack I also have tips to make magicJack better, and if you’re intrigued, hack into it. It works as advertised I like it and it’s a keeper. I just saved $320 by cancelling an extra phone line and signing up with magicJack.
