Default Re: Magic Jack Phone Jack

Magic Jack is portable. Just the number is not. The number remains the same as when you first install it. I move mine with me where ever I go. Use it from hotels, vacations, home, villages, etc. Any where I can access high speed broadband and have my laptop works fine. The phone number remains the same. Many hotels today have free wireless. So I just unplug the room phone and plug it into the magic jack. Free calling.

One issue I fail to understand is why you need a 352 area code. Today almost no one pays for long distance any more. And within 2 years there will be no long distance phone billing. Most cell phones long distance is the same as local and most home phone plans have unlimited calling to anywhere in the US. All VOIP services, vonage, skype, magic jack, comcast, and most others have zero long distance billing already for a fixed monthly fee. Magic Jack just happens to be the cheapest. $39 for the first year and $20 a year after for as many long distance calls as you can make. So who cares if you have a 352 area code or not. Best feature is voice mail shows up in email and I just play message on laptop.
