I've had one for quite some time and I've never found it to be unreliable. I've had more trouble with my cell service than anything else- you know, service not available, call dropped, etc...

But I've never had any trouble with my broadband connections, where ever they've been. So consequently I've never had trouble with my MagicJack.

Do you speak from experience? Do have you had a MJ?

I speak from experience. I tried to run it on a server that I have at home and is running all the time. The new version of the software doesn't work on Windows Server 2003, so I'm using the older version. Sometimes it quits running for no apparent reason.

I have problems with sound quality. I sometimes hear loud screeches when the other party is talking. Sometimes I hear echoes or a hollow sound. Tech support's responses both times I contacted them was to adjust the microphone and speaker volume in the software. One response contradicted the other.

I have had Vonage for 4 or 5 years. In the past year, I may have had to reboot the Vonage device once. Sound is the same as POTS. It just works. I have a FIOS broadband connection.

My comments about not reliable are compared to Vonage, not POTS. I haven't had a POTS line in 7 years or more.

My reading has shown that some people have good luck while others don't.
