Re: Anyone here using Magic Jack?

["Jeff Crosby" <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No problems whatsoever with Vonage.  It's $24/mo while Magic Jack is $20/yr.
That's a savings of $260+ per year.

I did a chat yesterday with a Magic Jack rep.  They're working on the
ability to port Vonage or other IP phone numbers to Magic Jack (a high
priority, according to him).  Suggested I check back regularly.
