My experience with Magic Jack was not good. It requires a high speed internet connection and its quality depends on the strength of that connection. Even with broadband cable there were many times that the conversation would drop out. Words would be missing, sometimes complete sentences.

If the internet is down....no phone service.

Although they say it will, it did not work for my fax machine.

For me, the constant "MAGIC JACK" software on the computer screen was a nuisance.

I found customer service to be almost non-existent.

It hooks up to only one phone instrument. If you have multiple phones, no luck, as far as I know.

Other than that, it's great.

I have read here in the past that some people love it.
