I have used Vonage for over 2 years and it is just the BEST PHONE Service I have ever used and I'm 58 year old. I use my Magic Jack when the kids come home with the grands they use the Vonage phone to call all the friends around the USA, so Magic Jack is my GREAT BACK-UP. The other problem is Magic Jack does not have my area code as of yet so people wishing to call my on MJ have to pay long distance a bummer to be sure. But William your right MJ is very good at what it does. Hi William,

You say that you can save what, hundreds of dollars a year with VOIP? I have just been informed recently and now using what's called "Magic Jack" which I believe is a VOIP telephone service and works the same way asthe others on a high speed internet line. As far as I can tell it is head & shoulders above any VOIP service out there! Why? Because it only costs $20.00 a Year. Thats right $20.00 ayear not $200. So you can concievably save over a thousand dollars a year using this service. You get this price per year by paying $49.95 for the Magic Jack and then pay an additional $49.95 for an additional 4 more years of service. As far as I can tell its lines are as clear as a bell and have had no problems in the time that I have been using it. I would love to hear what you have to say about this service once you have checked it out Here is something you guys should check out.
