Skype vs Magicjack

I'm curious to know how Skype and Magicjack compare. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?

Re: Skype vs Magicjack

I can only pinpoint the disadvantage of using both is they require a host (computer) to operate. Definitely, not a gree way to have a telephone system, YMMV.

They are two different services. Skype is good for internet calls and IM. Magicjack is good more for phone calls.

Skype does video.
A computer is not required for skype calls. There are several wifi phones.

That's true; however, such a skype device is still too expensive to waste, YMMV.
