Hey fellow techies ;-)

 

I stumbled across this device, MagicJack, some time back and well, decided to give it a try.  I have been using VoIP for years now, and this promises to reduce my phone bill by hundreds of dollars!  I will definately update everyone with my opinion on the service.

Do a google search on "rip off report magic jack". There are many ways to use Voip and they do not all require this type of device. As a matter of fact there are Hundreds of VOIP providers out there with really good rates so its best to shop around. There are also a lot of devices for VOIP out there as well. You can use your existing phones with these devices, or you can choose to simply use your PC as a phone. I would suggest doing some research before making a purchase because there are plenty of deals out there.

I have heard that using voIP is a hackers dream come true. I have seen 'Magic Jack' advertised & it is a good deal IF, there are no security issues with it.

Are you saying you will be writing GOLO Tech reviews? Because that's how this post reads to me. Let me read it again... Yep, that's what it says. Okay, we'll be looking for the update. -Angela

yahoo messenger is also free, get a camera and microphone and you get totally free conference calls

Thanks, waiting for your report.

I have bought the magicjack and I can tell you that it is just great. You can call anywhere in the usa and canada for free. You only pay $19.95 once a year. If you would like to know more about the magicjack email me and I will get in touch with you. I can say it does work and it is worth the money.

THe only way this thing would work like it is advertised, would be where you get to use it free for a while and then you have to pay for a service like vonage. I do aggree with this type of marketing. Like AVG, give a good product away for free to gain name recognition and then sell your product.


I've seen this advertised too. I'm scared to buy things that are new to the market. So please keep us informed..

Now if they will just make one that will let you call out of the country.
