Re: More details needed said by fAcEtIOUs:Here is their press release at CES and it is still very light on details: They've been talking about this since last Spring. One news article said it was due in Q3 2009 (if I recall correctly).
MagicJack has a bit of trouble in the optimism department. They've said other things were in the pipeline that have never been seen (ATA device, Linux softphone.). The only thing they delivered on after a few missed targets was number portability.
They may be working on a femtocell. But, it could be a long time before it's released.
MagicJack is a fantastic bargain when it works out for the user. It can come with headaches, unmet expectations, periods of unuseable quality and the feeling that you bought a product from PT Barnum. But, you can save some serious money if you can work through those issues.

| Magic jack meet ATA  I use it while traveling the world , plug in the ata any where I have data and away I go works great.
Plus it's cheap , If I lose the ata no big deal it's easy to disable on my side and they are cheap on ebay. Something like $20

Or, 2) that you obtained your SIP credentials and are using them with a generic ATA?
1) You're right that MJ is technically an ATA. I meant an ATA which you can plug into a router for always-on telephone service without the need to keep your computer turned on, or cobble together a "thin client."
2) That violates MJ's ToS. They have terminated users in the past. And, have taken steps to obfuscate the credentials to prevent people from doing it (causing illicit ATA users to lose service for days or weeks until they can hack the credentials again.).

| Right on both.
on #2 It's all good they terminate me I will just go grab another and do it again.
I use my sip info on my droid when in the us over 3g , and I also use it when I travel anywhere with an ata. And if they change it again I drop back to usb for awhile until it's fixed.
Worse case I can move to another voip provider and do the same I do now for a little bit more. I also have the ability to roll my own voip and terminate it at my home win win for me.
