Has any one ordered or heard of Magic Jack. I purchased and installed it last week so my mom could have a land line, when I am out. Didnt want to go with another cell phone contract, and didnt want to pay the usual providers for a land line. It always winds up being a higher bill than you expect.

Magic Jack is a jack you purchase for 40.00. It plugs into a usb port on your computer. Plug the phone jack into the magic jack. Cordless or desk phone.

19.95 per year for unlimited local and long distance calling. There is an international plan for an additional fee that I havent investigated yet.

The connection is crystal clear. Volume is incredible. I am very pleased with this. If your surprised and would like to investigate the site is MagicJack.com

They say this invention will do to phone companys what e mail did to postage ( stamps. )
