NEW magicJack Home Unlimited Local and Long Distance Calling

The little box that is the MagicJack works great. It gives you a home phone. It comes with a year of use. Then it's $40 year. I'm in Oregon so there is a once-a-year 911 tax of about $13. The trick is when you plug it into the USB of your computer to configure it, it recognizes it and configures it by going to mjreg.com, not the MagicJack.com site. Once configured with a phone number of your choosing (from a long list), you unplug it and plug in a network cable to your router, and, of course, a telephone to it. The fantastic feature that I turn on is the call screening: The caller gets a computer voice saying to push a key on your phone that is random 1 to 9. If they push the right number, the call goes through and the phone rings. Otherwise it times out and you don't get bothered by any robocalls.

Really like the Call Screening option on this device. We haven't received ANY robo calls since switching from our Voip telephone service to MagicJack! It also saved a lot of money since the subscription to use it is very reasonable instead of paying an extra $15/month to the ISP for phone service.
