Does anyone use Magic Jack for a home phone?

[krjwaj]

Magic Jack is an alternative to a landline. Its a small box that plugs into the USB port on your computer and you connect your telelphone wire to it.

It is $40.00 the first YEAR and then $20.00 each year after.

I am trying to see if I can keep my DSL for the computer if I drop At&t for the landline.

Experience w' MagicJack?

I've never even heard of it. I'm looking to get rid of my landline though. I pay $40 a month just to receive telemarketing calls.

My only concern is 911 service. My kids are home alone from time to time and I like the idea that emergency services can tell where they are just from the phone number

We signed up for this a long time ago. It works.

I know what you mean about the emergency. I'll check on that.

I can 2nd that.
Takes a spell for it to catch up and stop the calls but it certainly works.

Re:911 calls, I understand that any cell phone can be used to dial 911 even if it's not contracted to any service.
