I am looking into buying this thing, but have mixed feelings and am not real sure what I am getting into. Do you have to have a magic out service (at an additional cost) to dial out? Are all the calls incoming and outgoing included in the original price? Thanks, Tara

1. No there is no magic "out" service to dial out.
2. Incoming and outgoing included yes
3. Enjoy. Very Happy

Understand that MJ is not the $40.00 device that will save the world, but it has worked very well for me, much better than voip.com that cost five times as much. It is still a little rough around the edges (support, etc.), but so was I at that age. Razz

Hello again, alan. long time no see, ever since I left the old beta mj forums.

IMO MJ is nowhere near as good as the olde tyme landlines, but they are much more expensive.

I finally gave up on MJ totally. smashed the free one they gave me to bits as anger management, and ordered vonage. See my new thread in this forum for why.

I think it depends on what your needs are. For me, it's just fine, but my expectations are low. I mean this respectfully, but if $40 is an issue, I woudn't recommend it. But since Verizon wants that every month for unlimited long distance, which I need only on occasion, the MJ is a great value.

I love new technology...I purchased 3 MJ's with 5 year plans. I never used my unlimited calling with local phone company. So after I give MJ a little time, I can at least cancel the long distance part of my local phone company. That is a plus for me even if I keep the local for my DSL. I do have one concern, that I have to leave my computer on 24/7... is there any concern with any of you MJ users or am I being overly concerned?

agraves I leave desktops on 24/7 without problems. The laptop I use as a mobile unit with a magicJack and the laptop is turned off when not in use.
