Re: Why would I pay $45?
said by battleop  :Thanks for encouraging the 4 minute commercials they run. I don't care if it's the best service ever, I will never give them a dime. I've never seen their commercials. It's rare that I watch any commercials. A coworker had it and really liked it so for $40 I figured I would try it. I looked it up online and checked it out. For only $40 it was worth it(I actually paid less since I had a $25 Best Buy gift card that I used for the purchase so I only paid $15 plus taxes). Especially since it's works exactly the way they said it does. Plus it doesn't affect any of the machines I've used it on. They run as fast as ever. |

00000 | I've seen them run one with a guy that looks like a stereotypical used car sales man on QVC. They have a count down timer and number sold graphic running. They run them like mini infomercials that run during a commercial break. |

| I'm cell-only, plus MagicJack. For long conversations, I pick up the phone and make a MJ call. MJ actually is more reliable than my cell; here in Colorado I sometimes have to place a call twice...first one's a fast budy. Other than that, the cellular service is crystal clear.
MagicJack? As long as my internet isn't wonky, it's crystal clear too, and unlimited.
Just because I'm paying less per year for my RJ-11 phone service than anyone else is no cause for strife. No, I don't count my broadband bill into the mix because I use that connection for other stuff.
Yes, I can get a landline, but what would I use it for? 99.9% of calls I make are long-distance from here, and even a basic line would cost me $20+ per month. Plus long distance. No thanks.
YMMV, yes But cellular plus VoIP has proved quite reliable for me. If you think MagicJack should die and everyone should move to VoIP provided by the people who run your internet cables, be my guest...but I'd like $40 per month from you to cover Comcast Digital Voice.
When the price differential is that big, whaddya gonna do?
Still, MagicJack isn't for everyone. I'd be hesitant to run a high-volume business line over the service, and they don't have local numbers everywhere. Then again, only cable and telco VoIP have local numbers back home, as far as oIP stuff goes anyway. So, realistically, I' pay $30/month for unlimited, full-featured VoIP with a local number from my cable or telco provider. No added texas or fees. If they want a penny more of my money, I want crazy does-the-dishes-for-yu features. Got it? |

| I think you are not catching on as to why I wouldn't give magicjack a dime. It's the same reason that wouldn't buy Vince's ShamWOW or anything that Billy Maze peddles. I won't buy an x10 Camera or anything else from any one who runs an annoying commercial. |

I could care less about commercials. Don't have TV. But whatever floats your boat... |
