I like MJ because I can move overseas and cheaply maintain a US phone number.
I don't like their website. It is absurd that you have to go to "frequently asked questions" to find out how much it costs, or the international rates. The web site is awful in several ways, including all the videos that load even if you pause the video. It screams "As Seen On TV." (like they're selling a Ronco food slicer.).
I'm troubled by the inability to use an ATA device to connect to a router for always-on. Based upon MJ's business plan (to make money by advertising) I don't see how they can ever allow this kind of stand-alone use.
But, overall, I think it's a great option. Especially if I want to live overseas and maintain a US phone number. That would cost me about $70 a year with other services. There's not much to lose with MJ. I'll throw $20 a year at them, hoping it works out.
