Does Magic Jack works well for long distance or even international call?

Yes, there are plenty of bad reviews on the Magic Jack out there. Most appear to be some kind of bash campaign to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) - possibly by Vonage staffers who fear losing their jobs soon. Whoever they are and whatever their motivation, they are a vocal minority. One guy loves to point out there are hundreds of BBB complaints about the company (which is true). But, last I read, they have sold something like 900,000 of them already! Do the math to realize, for the vast majoity, they work fine!

Chat help only is pretty lame, but it helps to keep support costs down I guess. People are just not used to being unable to call their phone company. But chances are problem is due to their own computer, not the product itself. That's obviously where the 30 day free trial comes into play. Magic jack doesn't mention having any minimum hardware requirement per se. Gosh, if it doesn;t work, you can always return it!

They didn't have it when I ordered, but they now have a cool unlimited International calling plan for $59.95 extra too. I think it was closer to $49.95 when it was first offered (5 full years without ANY extra costs whatsover!). Mine works great and I have had no real problems at all. Only interference noise I hear is due to my cordless handset system.

Go to the above web site for lots more general info on the Magic Jack.

There are helpful links on there for people who aren't sure If their own pc has enough horsepower or not, plus trouble-shooting tips if they do have some issue. Many folks just don't realize how outdated their pc is as compared to a new machine. I'd suggest having at least 1 gig of RAM and a Pentium 4 processor, plus average (or better) connection.

Be sure to get rid of all the spyware that might be on your computer before you install. Full defrag might also help too.

Good Luck!
