Magicjack Go 2017 Version Digital Phone Service

it works well, sent it to st Luica and they are happy with it. no pay cost. great product.

I was in a branch of Best Buy in Las Vegas about two weeks ago (January 2019) when I noticed MagicJack Go for sale. I had heard of the MagicJack VOIP service many years ago but it had not interested me because to use it, you had to connect the USB MagicJack gadget to your computer, and your computer had to be on all the time to receive and make calls. As a long-term user of Vonage, I found this set up to be quite impractical and antiquated. With Vonage, you just plugged in any standard landline phone to the adapter which you then connected directly to your router. No computer was necessary. You got the sense that you had a normal landline. I was excited to discover that, with the Go model, MagicJack had turned very Vonage-like. According to the attractive box I saw in Best Buy, you could still connect it to your computer but Go also gave you the option to connect it directly to your router and use any landline phone – just like Vonage. The price was also very attractive: $35 (plus tax) for a year’s service including a US number and unlimited calls to the US and Canada. I was sold! I left Best Buy that day with a MagicJack Go box. Setting up Setting up MagicBox Go was a piece of cake. As with Vonage, you just plug one end of the provided ethernet cable into the MagicJack adapter and the other end to your router. You then connect a standard landline phone to the adapter. Note: you will need a micro filter which is not provided – I was fortunate because I had a spare one lying around. Once the hardware is set up, you go online to register your device. The registration process is simple and painless, and you can choose a free geographical US number. I chose a Glendale number because I have fond memories of the Barnes & Noble bookshop there, and because I have many relatives in California. You can also choose the last four digits of your number if you pay extra. You also have the options of porting in your existing US number or buying a “vanity number”, such as 818-ANT-ONIO. And bingo! I had US landline phone in my room in the UK! MagicJack comes with the standard phone features for free including voicemail, call forwarding, call waiting, and caller ID. Free pinless conference calling is also available although I have to admit that I am not sure what this is which doesn’t bother me because I’m not likely to need it. The app You can also download the companion app from Apple Store and Google Play which allows you to set up your MagicJack number to ring in your home and on your mobile phone or tablet at the same time. You will also be able to send and receive texts from US numbers. The app works well in general, though there have been occasions when my home phone rang but my mobile phone did not. Also, I think the app can only be active on one device at any one time, unlike Vonage which allows you to install the app on two devices. Nevertheless, MagicJack is a great way of turning your tablet into a mobile phone. International calling To call international numbers (i.e., non-US and Canadian numbers), you will have to buy credits. The international rates are attractive as with most VOIP services, though I do not like the fact that credits expire after six months. Another thing I don’t like is that you have to buy separate credits for the device (your home phone) and for the app. I don’t understand why you can’t just have one set of credits for both. Unlike Vonage, international calling is only pre-paid and you cannot sign up to monthly plans that would work out cheaper if you call international numbers regularly. Last words I am generally happy with my MagicJack Go. Once or twice, I experienced some crackling and unclear calls but this could have been due to my internet connection and not MagicJack itself. The last calls I have made were certainly very clear. MagicJack lacks certain call features rivals like Vonage offer such as virtual numbers, but the normal home user is unlikely to want these. For just $35, I expected to be disappointed but MagicJack, in fact, gives you a lot and I intend to renew once my first year is up.

ok

Terrible crackled line

Summary: Pros: * Inexpensive. Average of $5.42/mo for first year (factoring in $20 to port existing phone # and $12 911 fee). * Setup is quick and easy * No need to hook up to a computer Cons: * None so far I get virtually no cell signal in my apartment so I need a home phone. I was with Vonage for a little over a year and have no complaints about their service. When the intro rate jumped up to $35/mo (including taxes), I could no longer justify spending that much for a service I use to little. While looking around for alternatives, I remembered seeing the commercials for MagicJack and started reading up on the company and user reviews. For $33 for the small piece of equipment and 12 months of service, I figured it was worth giving it a try. The package arrived in 2 days (thanks Prime!) and setup took about 10-15 mins. Hooking up the equipment, which is a dongle a little smaller than a deck of cards, took a minute or two, and the rest of the setup time was creating an account and going through the various options. I ported my home # to MJ which costs $20 and took 5-7 days to complete. Another $12 for local 911 taxes, for an all-in cost of $65 for 12 months of service, or an average of $5.42/mo. That will save me $30/mo for the exact same type of VoIP service! Call quality has been very good and no different than a regular landline connection; no static, dropped calls, or anything like that. It works as advertised and does it at a very inexpensive price. I haven't traveled yet but will be heading overseas later this summer and will take MJ with me for calls back home.

Todo muy bien

I ordered this wanting to try out having a landline phone in addition to a cellphone. It was very easy to set up. I have it hooked up to my computer, but from what I understand, that is not nessecary., but for now, it is working just fine! I read something after setting it up about not being able to receive incoming calls, but I tested it by first calling the MagicJack from my cell phone, then having my aunt call me from her work phone, and then finally, from her cell phone. All calls came through and the sound quality was great! I’ve been very pleased with Magic Jack so far, and I would recommend purchasing this one over the slightly more expensive one (I think the other one is around $20-$25) ONLY if you have internet access. You also have the option to pick your own number (for a fee of I think $25) and only if that number is available). But it comes with the ability to choose your own number, except for the last three, for no charge (for example, 1-423-0XXX, 1-212-7XXX, and so on). This was the option I chose. Also, it should be noted that you can enter in your cell phone number, and the Magic Jack will forward calls to your cell phone, but that will cost you a one-time fee of $10. I’m not sure if you can turn that option on and off, but if that is what you are looking for, it’s worth investigating! Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase!
