Their suggestion: maybe I had a problem with the DSL I have. I reconnected with thier online support, and politely told the technician I was very unhappy with the Magic Jack and wanted to return it for a refund. I swapped out the modem, and experienced the same poor audio I had before. Now, I happened to have a few extra gateways, routers, and DSL modems lying around. She then connected me to a 'senior' troubleshooting technician, and we went though another hour of changing several settings on my computer, as well as going trough all the same things the first tech suggested. We accomplished little, and I continued to experience the same problems.

I chatted with the first gal for over forty-five minutes, performing a series of modem resets, updates, etc. That's okay with me actually, I don't mind online support if it's good.

Perhaps I was doing something wrong, so I looked for a technical number to call. It seemed worse than a cheap analog cell phone too far away from a cell tower. After calling my in-laws in Texas and my sisters in Florida, everything said had to be repeated more than once. Unfortunately, the actual voice quality is about in line with its low price. I didn't worry too much about that since it's a cheap price to pay for a second number. The list of area codes were all long distance from my home, which meant anyone calling me from a local line would have to pay long distance or toll charges to call me on my new Magic Jack number, relegating Magic Jack to second line and not a replacement for my first. Sounds too good to be true doesn't it? From my experience, it was.

for free (well almost free, $9.95 per year). With the setup finished, it worked like any traditional phone, I can receive and make as many calls as I want to anywhere in the US and Canada via Magic Jack. A list of available area codes appeared, and after selecting one, as given a telephone number. I gave it a few minutes to load the setup, and during the process was given the option to designate my home state. Simply plug it into an open USB Port, then plug a telephone into the port on the Magic Jack. Setting up the Magic Jack was pretty straightforward. After paying AT&T a little over 65 bucks per month for my local and long distance service, that sounded GREAT! I just had to check this out! So I ordered one, and 5 days later it showed up in my mailbox. After the first year it would cost me an additional $9.95 per year, and there's a five year special available for $59.95.

It said in their TV ads there was a nominal fee of $39.95 to purchase the Magic Jack, which included a $9.95 fee for the first year of service. There is a new device being advertised all over the US right now called "the Magic Jack," a private voice over IP (VoIP) solution allowing you to use a high-speed Internet connection to make and receive calls instead of traditional land-line service.
