Tony

Yup VOIP takes fits! LOL!

Two weeks ago my VOIP wouldn't even boot up! After many hours and two days with tech support it finally worked again!
I would NEVER have only a VOIP phone to rely on!
I have a VOIP, two landline phones and a cell.

Okay so I wanted to post real quick since I just got done with my prospecting calls for the night-Had mostly east coast calls tonight... Anywho... I used my magic jack for all my calls.

The phone itself was Great! Clear reception,ect. but like I mentioned earlier the closer I am to my computer the better reception which is okay because I make all my calls in my home office.

The only minor set back I would say is that I only got a few people on the phone tonight and the rest were voicemails. Not sure if that was due to my magicjack or not so tomorrow night I will make my calls with my Cellphone and post if there was a difference.

All in All I am very happy so far. I know everyone is a little different with the magicjack topic but I thought the results were worth mentioning.

P.S. Was able to successfully do 4 presentations tonight with the magicjack.

Great!

Like I said it works for a "few" depending on your speed, how close you are to your computer and other factors as it is a dirt cheap unstable product.
It may work now but all of a sudden you could have problems.
I hope you don't ever need to reach a live person or customer support. It is non existent.

Again Magic Jack is ok if you want to replace your $60.00 or more a month phone lines.
But to prospect for?
No way.
