Just spoke to Magic Jack - they will be servicing the 352 area code in 30 days. So folks calling you within 352 will no longer be charged.

I use Magic Jack. You need to have high speed broadband for it to work well. I have tried it on DSL, and the lower cost comcast option and it breaks up. But with the highest speed available (also most expensive) it works very well. All options work, voice mail is great as it sends a wav file to my e-mail. So you listen on the phone or on your computer.

I haven't ordered it yet because I'm still in a rental. Plus I want to wait until 352 is serviced so those in that area code can call me without a charge.
So all I need is high speed internet? No other phone service is necessary, correct?

Its not clear there will be no charge since the 352 Area Code is listed as Gainesville on the MagicJack site. From some previous responses on this Forum asking if all calls in the same area code were free no matter where the area code was originally from were free > the responses seemed to indicate that calling a Gainesville 352 AREA CODE from the villages could very well be a long distance call? I don't really know for sure > I'm just passing on the information.
I wish there were all free since I use Magic Jack in the villages. |

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.

I too haven't had a plan where I paid long distance in many years, so I don't understand the issue of the area code either. Mine will stay a 407 number. |

I think you'll be surprised at the number of people down here who still pay for long distance. I found it truly mindboggling.
