Re: Magic Jack Setup Pictures
Same phone I bought from Overstock.com.
It is a LOT smaller than the pictures lead you to believe, almost too small to use comfortably.
The audio is not very loud so if you have a bit of noise around you it will be hard to hear. The ringer is not very loud. Some of the keystrokes are not intuitive, like hitting the redial (RD) key located under the zero key to dial out. You have to really pay attention if dialing a number with a zero in it, as one tends to hit the redial key, before the number is complete. 
The headset has a earpiece mount that gets uncomfortable quickly.
Having said that, it is still a good size to toss onto a laptop bag for traveling use, just don't plan on using it much for day to day calls.

This is a phone I bought on eBay (not Overstock) to use with my Magicjack. It has mixed reviews but it looks good to throw in a notebook case for traveling. I haven't got it yet but hopefully this week...If you see it on ebay with best offer mine was $3 and was accepted of course another $6 and change for shipping. |

You can use a USB hub if you do not have another USB drive. But make sure USB should be externally powered. |

Thanks for the info. A member of my family is going to be traveling in Europe, and I plan to give him a magicJack for a going away present. |

Right now, magicJack only allows calls to the US and Canada.
They do not have "international" calling capability.
However, there's a post from someone who bought one, set it up, and then mailed it overseas to relatives. They can now use it to call back to the US.
You can take your magicJack anywhere in the world, and call back to the US and Canada "free". But you won't be able to call anyone in the country you're visiting.
If you have a MJ, and you send a friend an MJ in Italy (as an example), you can call each other for free. That's because even though your friend is physically in Italy, his phone number is in the US - so to MJ you're making a US to US phone call. |

said by johnlvs2run  : However, if the international line has a magicjack, then you can call them and they can call you for free. Does the receiving party, from a magicJack international call, also have to have a magicJack to receive the calls? To make free calls, to a magicJack international line, does the caller need to be making the calls through a magicJack? |

It should not be a problem as long as you have another USB port available

If the sip info were to get out, I don't see how they could continue to make money via their ads system?...then they may just go the way of SR.

Question on this stuff:
Has anyone figure out how their SIP stuff is set up? Registration address and credentials for the account?
If so, softphones or generic SIP adapters are an option too, meaning your PC does not need to be on all the time.

Re: Magic Jack
The product just came out, and is in "BETA 3", so the most you'll find is 3 months (maybe) - certainly not 2 years.

At ~$20/yr who cares if they tank in a year or two.
SOmehow, from reading up on their site I get the feeling they aren't going anywhere any time soon. |
