Not quite........ Please do not believe that. At least with skype I can call to the USA and can make phone call to where magicjack does not. I do like magicjack but it has very limited access especially when I bought this to phone home and 1/2 of my numbers I can not dial or access because it will not go through

Magic Jack will never replace skype or any other Linux Supported VOIP. One reason why, You Can't Develop Linux Based Support. Guess what magic jack we don't need you on Linux we have many VOIP solutions so guess what get to work or lose profit we aren't going to develop the software for you.

I would not spend my money on something like this honestly. With 50 euros I talk one year on my phone in my country, for as long as I want. You might think I'm cheap but I'm not..I just learned how to save as much as possible by following an easy saver program a few months ago.

MAGICJACK TIPS: HOW TO PLACE SKYPE CALLS WITH YOUR CORDLESS PHONE

Users of the magicJack can now enjoy the added benefits of Skype including video calling, conference calling and free Skype to Skype user calls worldwide.

A new Skype dual mode calling software plugin "SkyjackPlugin" for magicJack users has been released. The plugin allows magicJack and Skype calls to be placed concurrently from the same regular or cordless phone.

To place Skype calls just dial * before the number you want to call. Speed dial numbers are available for dialing other Skype users. Regular magicJack calls are placed as normal. For incoming calls, just answer the phone when it rings.

"SkyjackPlugin" can be downloaded at http://www.pcphonesoft.com

I've had my MJ for over a year. In the beginning, I was ready to trash it! My computer is 5years old, but I never thought it was the computer's fault. My audio was terrible. I upgraded my ISP to "blazing fast," and it didn't make one bit of difference. I bought a powered plug in USB hub, and everything got much better. Then, I started having problems with a beeping sound, like someone was pushing phone buttons. When my year was up....I went to Radio Shack and purchased a new MJ and one year of service. I decided I had saved enough money from my phone bill over the past year to get a new computer. I got an HP with 2 dual processors and 8 gigs of memory. I can't remember what my processing speed is, but I think that is where the problem is with most people. I have a laptop that is less than a year old, and hooking the MJ up to it did not help with my problems. Processing speed means everything!!! My new computer cost me $679.00. My phone is absolutely perfect now. No audio problems, no beeping, no dropped calls. I have a slight delay on my end which causes some "talk over" problems, but that mostly involves my friend that never shuts up long enough for me to get a word in edge wise. I love my MJ and I plan on keeping this service forever. I take mine back and forth from my home to my lake house. People need to realize the need to reset the MJ once a month. Unplug the modem and router (if used) for a few minutes, and MJ will serve you well. I'm 61 years old and my husband is 65. If we can figure this thing out, others should have no problems. If anyone figures out the fix for the delay, let me know. That is my only concern!

Gonde,

Yes. you have someone maybe a friend or family you can trust to buy and connect here in the U.S. FIRST. When they connect it here, It will ask what city/ state / zip code you are connecting from. Then it will give you option to pick which phone number to use. Then use it to test and make sure it saved on its memory. They gave it to you in Chile, and you connect it to a USB port on any PC with a USB port and internet connection ( you MUST have DSL or cable modem to work). Then connect a regular telephone to the MagicJack port. Now you should be able to call any US or Canada phone for free. My family still use it in Panama and works OK, very few times it may drop a call like a cell phone. But for $20 a year its worth it I think.

Saludos!

John.

We've had our MJ for a year and it's been great. We'd probably experienced 2 or 3 dropped or interrupted calls the past year of using it on an almost daily basis. We bought int'l minutes to call my in-laws in Panama. But last October, I bought another MJ and gave it to my in-laws in Panama, so our calls are completely free. They call us almost every day and the quality has been very good and only experienced a couple of dropped calls during December. But for the price and savings we get who cares!! I just hit speed dial and we're back on!
Our systems aren't new. I have a laptop with pentium III using XP pro-SP3, through our wireless router on cable modem, While my in-laws have a generic PC with XP pro SP3 on a wireless router using DSL.
We use this as a back up for our cell phones. We normally leave the laptop on during the day and shut it off before going to sleep. For our family, it's work and saved us $$$. Thanks MJ!

I found their online / phone Foreign/ india Tech support is just a scam to push EVERYONE off.. email BOTH dan.borislow@magicjack.com & dan@magicjack.com He created MJ and is making Millions.. his org addy was " Dan@magicjack.com" and it kept getting complaint emails so he made " dan.borislow@magicjack.com" he refers both emails to his own Tech man or such.. but it's the ONLY way I got my 3 different issues solved within 1 or 2 days at the latest... Avoid the normal route.. email his people..
