This product is very cheap and I love where technology is headed these days. I have used it for a few months and have had no problems what so ever. Has anyone had trouble with this product? Or has everyone had a similar experience to me?

i have purchased it but never hooked it up yet, i know quite a few people who say it works good

I've been using it for 2-3 months.. Works great.

My main gripe is I can't call 1-800 or 1-866 numbers with it.. somewhat irritating.

I've used it and quality seems to be top-notch. The device itself died but I was able to aget the info off of it so now I'm just using it with a SIP softphone. Works perfectly. Absolutely no complaints as to network quality, though more local numbers would always be nice.

Bought one for personal use two years ago. I have not used it recently, but when I was using it, it worked perfectly. If only they released a ATA device....

We have been using it in our office for over 2 years now. It works great. We can call 800 number with it. We just can't call a 866 number.

The pricing is quite good. I have one personally but I don't use it very often. I keep mostly with skype

I have been using MagicJack for over 1.5 years now and love it as calling USA & Canada is cheaper than calling domestic numbers, voice is clear and never had any problem. Only downside is it needs your PC to be ON to make calls, no problems for me as it's in the office hooked to a machine that is always on for various uses.

Last year in summers I found TK6000 and bought it too, $99 and no more to pay ever, connected directly to my network so no need to keep computer ON. Now called netTALK DUO but with yearly payments. Tech support is much more superior to MagicJack, I had some initial problem, and their tech responded immediately, used TeamViewer to connect to my PC and fixed some configuration in the router which was blocking TK6000. Using it at home as lot of relatives live in USA and it's easy for my parents to use, they just have to pickup the cordless and dial, as they always did on the regular home phone.

I wish I can get something similar for UK/Europe.

I have been using it for over a year myself and find it to be a great service for the price. I just wish they had a network device so you didn't have to rely on a computer in order to use it, but for the price I really can't complain that much. :-)

I believe I'm at about 2-3 months with but can truly say the past month I have fallen in love. I have the phone 1 foot away from my left hand so clients and business contacts seem to really love it too!

You need a windows pc running ... thats the downside
