magicJack VOIP Phone Adapter - Unlimited Calls to US & Canada, No Monthly Bill, Portable Internet Phone with App, magicIN™ & magicOUT™ Service

We had one of these years ago and it worked like a charm. Recently, an aging relative needed a "land line" because of struggles with technology, so we went back to this tried and true device. It just works!

Great VOIP solution! Unlimited calls to US and Canada without a monthly bill is fantastic value. Easy setup and the call quality is clear. Perfect for home or travel use. Been using it for a year with no issues. Great way to save on phone bills. Highly recommend for anyone who calls the US frequently.

The magic jack is the cheapest way to get phone service over internet and still have a phone number anyone can call. It was easy to setup, just plug into your router and existing house wiring or cordless base station. You get a new number to start and then you can transfer your old number for a $20 fee. Overall this is much cheaper than some other options I looked at, so I bought 2, one for me and another for a relative, and both installs were easy. It took 2 days to transfer my number and 5 days for the relatives. Speaking of price, note that there are some taxes you pay to transfer, plus you will have to pay your annual 911 bill. It varies by area, think mine was under $5 (year?). No complaints here, still inexpensive. The service includes voice mail, which can also be forwarded to your email. There is also a novel way to block robocalls by making caller enter a random 1-digit number. This cuts out most robocalls, which may include legitimate doctors reminders, your children's school, etc. However, there are a few flaws with magicJack service that I did not know about. First, it comes with caller id, but not caller name, so my cordless phone announces "Call from V" for every number not in its address book. Second, the voice mail is a little quirky. You may get the notification dial tone when you pick up, but sometimes you don't, and in one instance it duplicated an message (same time stamp and everything). I switched both lines to use the cordless answer machine instead. The last problem I encountered is I tried to dial into a MS Teams local access number for a conference call. magicJack announced the number was pay-per-minute and not supported. I used my mobile phone to dial in without issue, so not sure why an IP phone would incur charges and my mobile did not. Overall I am satisfied as I can make calls and clarity is very good. I have not tried taking my home number with me and don't plan to, so YMMV. They do offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so you should be able to determine if any of these limits are deal breakers.

Worked surprisingly well. Fairly easy to set up. Perhaps better for a dedicated desktop than a laptop. Excellent reception and clarity ( At least in the Detroit metro area). Voicemail transcriptions are accurately translated and easy to read via email.

This is an amazing product. You plug it into your WiFi modem, your phone or phone wall jack and an electric outlet. After about 30 to 60 seconds you have a dial tone on your phone! Magicjack has a lot of easy to remember local phone numbers you get to choose from. I had no luck porting my original house phone number. Magicjack doesn't have support, you at least support that responds. However, set up is easy and done all online. The annual cost is remarkably low. I mean like $25 or so a year. You can also plug this very small piece into your PC or laptop and use it with a phone. Your phone number follows the small unit so wherever you are as long as you have Internet you can use it. However, there is no need to move it out of your house as the Magicjack phone app allows you to make outgoing calls, outgoing and in coming text messages and simultaneous ring. Simultaneous ring means both the app and house phone will ring at the same time no matter where your cell phone is. However, the app doesn't consistently ring on my Pixel 8 Pro. Perhaps an update will correct that issue soon.

I bought this so my mom could have her landline without the high monthly costs. I work for a tech company so I'm very tech-savvy. The first stage of set up was complicated by missing driver errors and "freeze on update" issues. After several frustrating hours I got the device to work. I tried to import my mom's existing number but got cryptic error messages. It took forever to find a tech support number but after searching I found one. I called did several voicemail transfers before I got the privilege of waiting over an hour to finally speak to someone who, while forwarding me to another technician, dropped the call. I went online to do tech assistance via the website. Another long wait but finally had someone who said they could assist me with the import process. The tech support person would ask me three or four questions, which I would answer then they would restart the whole conversation all over again. Looking back, I'm sure what happened was the person who started out helping me ended up going on a break and my chat would be transferred to someone else who would make me start all over again. This happened three times within the 40 minutes I was being helped. Finally, it looked like everything was going to work. I was told the import process could take up to 2 weeks but would likely be less than that. The next day I received an email telling me that it was not successful and I had to resubmit the request. I went through all the steps to resubmit and met with the same software issues that I had dealt with before. Luckily I kept good notes from the previous encounters and was able to get the number registered for import again. A few days later I received the same email again. I went through the process again. A few days later I received the same message again. Once again, I went through the steps to complete the import. This has been going on since September. I gave up on trying to import the number and said I would just take whatever number they wanted to assign me but was told that the process cannot be completed until I have a registered number with Magic Jack. I have been through the process more times than I can recall. I have given up on Magic Jack. I bought a different system (1VoIP) which, although it cost more initially, was easier to set up and functions well. I would definitely say it was worth the cost in reduced stress and frustration. Magic Jack might be the cheapest VoIP phone service but the company needs to improve their customer service experience if they want to stay in business.

Works as promised, provides landline-like service. Was easy to set up.

Magicjack is a cheap alternative to remove the Phone Plan from cable companies, but has limitations. Caller ID is used to display the telephone number of the person calling you and is included free with magicJack service. Caller Name ID which is used to display the name of the person calling you is not currently a supported feature. Requires prior activation, and isn’t free. Payment of the magicJack 911 billing is not mandatory, however. If you elect not to pay the fee, magicJack will simply turn off your 911 service. You are responsible for providing an uninterruptible backup power supply to ensure continued operation of electrical equipment, including customer premises equipment necessary to provide Internet service, in the event of a power outage. You need a Belkin RG BATTERY BACKUP REVISION B 12V DC UPS BU3DC001-12V to power the router. A 5V 2A 44W UPS Uninterrupted Power Supply Alarm System Security Camera Dedicated Backup Power Supply US $22.88 to power Magicjack. 0-50V 4A DC power supply filter board Class D power amplifier Interference suppression board car EMI Industrial control panel , between Magicjack and Power Bank Battery Box. A New USB DC 5V 2A US Plug USB Power Supply Adapter Converter Charger *5V 2000 mA* to charge the 5V 2A 44W UPS Uninterrupted Power Supply The setup isn’t very friendly but watching videos, and help by customer services finalized the process. It took me 10 minutes chatting, that failed to resolve, but a call at billing solved the problem. Porting of my number from AT&T to Magicjack happened in 24 hours. I didn’t remove my phone from AT&T router, instead a bought a $8 at local store connected to Magicjack. I was able to use my phone until porting happens and after transferred the Telephone Cord from AT&T router to Magicjack. The audio is crisp clear because I connected the phone cord to the Majicjack and three other phones are wireless. The 0-50V 4A DC power supply filter board helps to filter any noise coming from the power supply. Update: After 2 weeks on use, the Magic Jack is working at least as good as AT&T Phone Plan with 2 differences: First it displays only the calling number, but it cannot displayed on the TV screen. Second cost me $5 a month vs. $42 AT&T Phone Plan. Third I own my phone number through MagicJack and there is no need to worry for porting the number from an Internet provider to the other. The call block works, and if the number calls again rings only one and displayed Call Blocked. To increase the audio quality, the phone line from Magic Jack to the main phone set was kept as short as possible (3 feet). The home phone line was bypassed using 3 more wireless handsets that came with the phone kit. I used a very low noise 5.35V adapter in tandem with a PSF LC filter DC 0-12V 1 A. A power bank of (4X.NIMH 1.2V 5000mAh), and an output filter of (4 Electrolytic Cap. 2200 uF 50 V) from my tool Box. During any power outage I can make calls for at least 10 more hours. The porting didn’t affect the calls because I kept the phone connected with AT&T router, and used temporarily a $7 phone set for Magic Jack. I regret why I didn’t use Magic Jack at least 10 years ago.

Best purchase. Saves a great deal of money. Easy install. Quality audio.

Excelente producto; lo he estado usando desde hace 8 años, cumple todo lo que promete y funciona a la perfeccion. Lo unico que desearia que tuviera, es la posibilidad de recibir fotos o video por medio de la aplicacion para celular; pero solamente recibe y envia mensajes de texto. Super estable y super economico para hacer y recibir llamadas desde, y hacia una linea en USA

MagicJack is supposed to be easy to install. This install took four days and several conversations with people protective of cows.

The product is well and good , works like a charm without any issues.

I dont know whats wrong with my magicjack but its giving me so much trouble i have been dealing with customer care everyday to fix it. Everyday it goes out of service or something i am not able to call with it wanted to give it zero stars but i cant so gave it 1. Sooo bad dont buy it
