Magic Jack- Putting Traditional Telephone Carriers Out of Business?

The Magic Jack has taken the U.S. and some other parts of the world by storm. This kind of phone, while not the first, is one of the most widely advertised and, thus, well known. It has been featured in the LA Times, New York Times, Boston Globe and on CNBC and the BBC. It was named 2008 Product of the Year by PC Magazine.

Its fast rise to fame is based on the fact that it offers free local and long distance calls to the USA and Canada for only US$30 per year. This is a deal that is yet to be beaten. Users are also given free directory assistance, a phone number, call waiting, voicemail and caller ID.

The Magic Jack works for many people. Business people take it with them on trips and it enables them to communicate cheaply with their offices even while overseas. College students use it to call home to ask their parents to send money. The elderly uses it keep in touch with their grand kids, who may otherwise never call them.

The beauty of this technology is that it's small and easily portable. It, also, gives users very high quality reception that is not restricted to certain areas or countries. It is very, very easy to use. It does not require any thick manuals or handbooks. You, also, don't have to dial 10 numbers before you dial the number that you want to call.

Users simply plug their regular home phone into the Magic Jack, plug the Magic Jack into any of the USB ports on their high speed Internet computers, and, voila! they are read to call anywhere in the USA or Canada for a whole year without having to worry about the phone bills. In addition, it reduces the number of monthly bills that comes to your homes and that can only be a great thing, right?

Ordering the Magic Jack is done either via phone or online. There are discounts available on certain websites; you can do some researching to see where you might be able to purchase it for a little less. The actual Magic Jack costs under $40 each. Be sure to check to see if there are area codes available for your state; if not, you could opt to use the area code of a different state.

It should be no surprise if traditional phone service providers like AT&T or Sprint soon develop a similar technology for their customers. The success of the Magic Jack has guaranteed that this phone service is more than just a flash in the pan. Traditional phone service providers will have to conform to the new way of communicating by telephone or they'll continue to lose customers.
