MagicJack After a Week in Toronto

Many of you might have read my previous post on my initial experience with MagicJack. With this post I will say what I still think about this. With this device I can hear people really clearly….almost as good as my cellphone. However, the problem is that the volume is really low for other people. I tried increasing the mic volume to the highest but the problem still prevails. I really do not know if this is an issue at Toronto or Canada but it seems to be an issue for me.

It’s not living up to my expectations to tell you the truth. I do have the 30 days money back guarantee. Should I return in? Well, I decided not to return this because as I said in my previous post I got what I paid for. I cannot expect a smooth connection with 20 bucks/year. I will leave this. I am also currently doing some research to figure out if there is any way I would be able to use this device with skype. This VOIP service from canada is really good as I have heard and I will try this out in the future.

Also, I am thinking that MagicJack will improve their services along the road. If that happens then that would be great. Until then I am not sure how much I would be using this.

    magic-jack is a user unfriendly piece of equipment and so is there help section and by far the worst is there live help they wont let you enter your correct area code so if any one local to you wants to talk to you they must pay long distance fees
    and wont give you your correct area code without paying more money they are a rip off i am filing fraud charges with my bank as of this post

    DON’T BUY IT DON’T BUY IT DON’T BUY IT DON’T BUY IT

  9. i bought 1 love it,i have no problems with hearing calls,and people hear me clearly,the only problem i find every so often is when i make a call it might take 15-20 sec to start ringing on the other end,but for $20 a year i can live with this,and i love you can take it traveling with you,now that adds up to big savings,ENJOY

  14. Now magicjack has something new for the cell phone user:

    “It is a new version of the magicJack device that allows free calls from cell phones in the home, in a fashion that’s sure to draw protest from cellular carriers.”

    “The device is, in essence, a very small cellular tower for the home.”
