Default Re: Basic Phone Service

OK OK OK...I can't keep my mouth shut and have to give my opinion about Magicjack.

Yes, it's cheap. Yes, it has clear reception. Yes, it's a savings to those who have it installed as their primary phone. My phone wouldn't work so an added expense was us having to buy a better phone (that we needed anyway) in order for MJ to work.

However, we returned ours. I can't, no matter what, have a phone service where anyone local who calls me is charged long distance! Since Magicjack does not have a local area code, any neighbor or local resident who wants to call is charged long distance charges.

If my next door neighbor needed to call me...s/he would have to pay long distance charges.

I couldn't do that to my friends!
