1 commentmagicJack your phone
For quite some time I have been looking for a cheap (and I mean real cheap) VoIP alternative. A friend recently told me about magicJack. I checked their web site and was intrigued by the product which is industry first. Online reviews are mixed - some good some bad but I was willing to take the $40.00 gamble. So far it has paid off - in the first week of usage I have been impressed with magicJack. The voice quality is as good as POTS.
