Plus

It took longer than I expected to have Amazon deliver. Magic Jack Plus is better than the regular Magic Jack. Maybe because it goes in the router and not the computer but call sound is great. People couldn't tell I was not on my landline. I already had a MJ and this one would replace it. I tested it for nearly 2 weeks and it always had a dial tone and always rang when I called it anytime of the day or night. I was testing it before having my home land line phone ported over. Porting was easy, you go to your MJP account and give the number to be ported and it is checked to see if it can be ported...mine was an ATT number. Then you have to pay the $20 before they will start the port process. MJP said it would take up to 10 business days ..well mine was ported in one business day. They recommend you check with your carrier to make sure your account with previous carrier is cancelled. So I did. I had internet with ATT also so I got Charter cable before all this and I'm saving $40 a month and have at least 5 times the speed over ATT with home phone. It's been over a week since the phone porting but I'm satisfied I made the right choice. Note that for renewal you have to pay an extra $10 to keep your ported number. Hmm but now MJ has taken it upon itself to assume I will renew my old MJ by sending me an einvoice that I'm guessing they think they will charge my CC. I don't appreciate that as I did not renew the old MJ...why would I with the MJP. If they charge the CC I will have the charge removed as I did not authorize it. I guess that will be another story. UPDATE Sept. 2013 I've had the Magic Jack Plus working for over a year now. It replaced my old ATT service. My MJ bill is now right around $40 for THE YEAR! This includes the $10 annual fee to have my old number ported. BEST thing I ever did. MJP runs off your router and just plug the out line into your phone jack (I would unplug the inline from outside first) and all jacks work. I updated the phones to a Panasonic TG-KX7621 system with 3 handsets. This system has bluetooth so cell phones will ring through it and with the contact lists from the cell phones passed over to the Panasonic system, you have personalized caller ID. Occasionally the MJP will drop a call but that is usually because a computer is up with too many windows open. Also, call time is usually limited to 90 minutes then the call is dropped and you just have to call the person again but I have seen the minutes last longer. It is because the MJP thinks the phone is off the hook. Overall this has been the best thing and my goal was to beat the phone company (ATT). I was sick and tired of paying all the extra taxes with ATT that was nearly half the bill and with the MJP I basically get the same thing and FREE LONG DISTANCE. It is truly a win and I can't say enough good things about the MJP.

This has proven to be more reliable than I expected it would be. I use it quite often sometimes everyday and each use is usually for calls lasting more than half hr. I've had to reset it by unplugging it every once in a while but it's usually a rock solid performer in terms of call quality and reliability. I think the limiting factor in terms of user experience is not the device itself but your internet connection. That said I only have a 10 Megabit connection which isn't much bandwidth although my connection is as solid as a rock and almost never dips below the 10 meg marker on speedtest.net The only issue I had is the wall outlet to USB adapter died after 8 months which I didn't mind too much because I always hated how far it made everything stick out from the wall. Replaced it with an extra usb wall adapter that came with a mobile phone or camera that i had lying around and it gives the whole thing a more sleek appearance as it doesn't stick out from the front but plugs in at the bottom of the device and stays close to the wall now. If you have such an adapter laying around your house i'd recommend using it instead of the one that comes with the magic jack straight away.

Came in fast and I saved about 12 bucks ordering here than from MJ online (4.5% tax and MJ shipping came to 81 bucks, but ordering here no shipping or tax.) I had the old Magic Jack (MJ) and loved it but had to leave my computer on all the time. Initially I was not going to get the new plusit and lose my subscription for 5 years I bought but on setup I selected replace an existing one and got all my time (but not the free year it came with but that is minor compared to losing my remaining three years on the original one. I run it on a cable modem with a Linksys e3000 dual band router. I had a duh moment too. I used to hate the screen popping up on my computer when i was typing and could not wait to get it off screen. Plugged in the caller ID comes up if the caller is in the MJ contacts but when used this way it is exactly like a landline in that I only see caller ID on folks programmed into the phone set I use. I was so programmed for seeing all calls that I almost regretted switching. It took me all of one day to like it better than the distractions. If you use the MJ contact list and call from your computer a lot, you can still do that by disconnecting the device from the power and the Ethernet to the router and plug it in directly like the original. Although you then have to have the computer on so why upgrade? For those who would like cheap easy and cheap phone service that works as well as a wired phone for a home set and no minutes to buy, as long as you connect to the Internet at home via a cable modem. DSL requires a phone line so seems a waste there. But I have had 10 Mbs cable high speed and now the minimum 15 Mbs and MJ works perfectly for less than 2 bucks a month after the first year. (The first year includes the price of the MJ hardware one time only.) I can only comment on using it with average cable Internet, not DSL. MJ does not work on dial up, and regardless of the connection type, even on very fast cable, don't expect faxes to go through I do not care who tells you differently. Great buy here! Thanks Amazon once again!

Awesome product. Tried all options connected to Windows/ Mac/ Router. even the Android APP works fine. Awesome !!

This is my second MagicJack Plus, what can I say, it works awesome! Once setup, you have the option to use the randomly generated numbers, or pay a bit more to have a permanent one. I chose to pay a bit more, as I wanted my folks to be able to call me on it as well. I chose a local number in their area so it would be free for them too. ;) Then, you plug it into your wall outlet, router, and connect up a phone. Press talk on your phone and you get a real dial tone and you are in business!

This product cannot be used as it is claimed with your phone nb transferred, it can only be used with a US or canadian international number. Who in the UK would be happy to dial such number? False claims, poor instructions, no plug for the UK. Very very poor.

This product is easy to set up all you have to do is hook it up to your computer to register an account and phone number and then into your telephone via the RJ-11 phone jack port then your ready to make *Free Local & Long Distance Calls*
