Magic Jack is a new device and service that allows you to make cheap phone calls through your computer.
Overall, the product works as advertised, Walt Mossberg found.
Rightardia has been aware of Magic Jack for a long time and it is a $19 a year alternative to VOIP services provided by Verizon, Bright House and third party providers such as Vonage.
Most of these providers charge more for one month of service than Magic Jack charges for the entire year.
A leading consumer magazine was also impressed with Magic Jack. At this time you can install Magic Jack on Windows and MAC PCs, but not on Linux based systems.
Magic Jack is also working on a Skype type of system that does not require a USB dongle and only uses software to communicate.

I tried magicJack and it works about as good as my cellphone and has saved me a bunch of money. It has more features than my landline used to have once I installed the Magicfeatures software download.
The only downside is that you must have you PC on to use Magic Jack. Most VoIP providers use DCE devices that directly connect to the Internet router so your PC does not have to be on all day.
I have also read that fax machines don't work on Magic Jack.
