Customer Review: Changed my mind - doesn't work so great.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Update 04/21/2009: Well if Amazon allowed me to decrease my 5 star rating to a 2 or 3 star I would. Magic Jack has become very unreliable. Works about 25% of the time. I wish I could say this makes a great second phone line but.... Calls to and from cell phones are nonexistent. I have cable internet with 15 mbps download so I don't think I can blame my ISP. I'm wondering if the poor service is related to the number of sales/users of Magic Jack. I'm not a techy so I'm just speculating. Anyways I've called my cable/phone company and I'm having a second line installed (again). A second line is $15 a month which includes long distance, etc. Bummer is I have to pay the $35 installation fee (again). I guess it's true, "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is." I think I paid a total of $130 to Magic Jack for 5 years of service so I'm stuck with it. Who knows maybe service will improve in time.
I work from home and I am at my computer all day long. I had a second phone line for work and my company discontinued reimbursing for telecommunication and internet expenses. Like everyone else in the country I am looking for ways to reduce monthly household expenses. MagicJack seemed like a good place to start.
Very quickly I was able to figure out how to install MagicJack and make it work with my 2-line phone and my 3 cordless Uniden DECT phones. After making some test calls to family and friends to make sure quality was acceptable I called my phone company (cable broadband phone service) and I cancelled my second line. That will save me about $18.00 per month (that is with an estimate of $1.80 per month for MagicJack over a 5 year period). The big savings will come if/when I migrate my primary home number to MagicJack but I can't do that until it is available in Montana (Area Code 406).
Pros:
-Easy to Install
-Love the software and contact feature
-Love how voicemail works and voicemail to email feature
-Low monthly expense
-Software includes a Mute and Hold option. I haven't used these yet.
-Software includes a Do Not Disturb feater. I haven't tried this yet.
Cons:
-Periodically people say my voice is soft, this is infrequent
-With Cordless it seems I have to set in cradle before making another call. I don't think this happens 100% of the time. Needs more testing.
Next Steps:
-Headset:I have order a headset that should work with MagicJack and my desktop computer.
-Laptops: Install and use this same MagicJack on our other computers
Headset Update:
-Inexpensive headset arrived from Plantronics ($13). It would have been easy to install if I had used some common sense. I was trying to plug into the back of my desktop and and had to consider speakers and crawling around on the floor and wires, etc., etc, etc. Well then I remembered the jacks on the front of the desktop (duh)! Plugged into those and it worked great (had to un-mute my microphone in Control Panel Sound Settings). Next 'head-scratcher'... Do I have to plug and unplug headset to switch to speakers??? Almost ordered the $8.86 Plantronics switch but ran across a review that suggested an alternative and it works great and it was free!!!! I had one of those headphone splitters that you can use to share iPod/MP3 sound that I never use. Just take that and plug it into your PC Headphone Jack then plug headset headphones into one side and speakers into the other side and magically they both work simultaneously.
