I know this has been discussed here in the past but
have a lot of people gone with this service since the
last time it was brought up? Have people decided it is
good or bad. I installed it a few days ago and so far
everything went very well and I have no complaints.
Thanks for any replies.



I heard people complaining about all the better business
bureau complaints in Florida. It also only works on the
Windoz platform.

I have read many reviews in forums like PC Mag and some have said that is
an old problem that might have just been a matter of extra support help with
installation on the MAC. I did notice that there were many complaints but as
far as I could tell all were from people that weren't even capable of
following the simple instructions. If you have a Mac and are thinking about
getting a Magic Jack I would suggest contacting them via Email and ask. I
had no trouble asking a simple question which they responded in minutes on
Sunday. The only down sides are you need to keep your computer on and may
need to purchase an external USB hub for more power. The good part is you
can take it anywhere and use it when you travel if you have access to high
speed internet. I have been using Vonage for a few years and added Magic
Jack as a second line to see how well it works over time. So far it seems
identical in every way with voice mail and an email sent to you when you
have a message. You just can't beat the 20 bucks a year but some have
predicted that might not last. It seems something like that is too good to
be true. Maybe they might get bought out by a bigger company.
