You can now dial phone numbers within the US and Canada free of charge. Just don’t forget that every time you use this service your computer needs to be turned on.

While MagicJack is almost perfect, there are a couple of little things that people should keep in mind about the service.
In order for you to receive, or make, calls using a regular MagicJack, your computer needs to be turned on. (There is now a MagicJack Deluxe that plugs directly into the wall and your high speed internet service, making it so you no longer have to leave your computer on 24/7.)
If your internet service is down, your phone system won’t work.
911 service only works if you set it up, and then the address shown to the 911 operator will be the one you entered into the system. So, if you’re using your MagicJack in China, and you dial 911, they will route the police and fire department to your home address, not the actual location you’re calling from.
Most users find that the system works great, and is worth having around, even if it’s just as a second phone line for the kids. The savings are great, and the problems few, try a MagicJack free 30 day trial today. With a total first year out of pocket of less than $60, this is currently the cheapest unlimited phone service available.
