The first thing to know about Magic Jack is what Magic Jack really is. Magic Jack was created to help people reduce their high cost phone bills. It is a device that is plugged into a USB (a connection cable used for digital cameras, printers canners, etc. to connect to your computer hard drive) attached to the computer (or in some cases a router with an applicable port) and allows for users to make unlimited calls to the United States and Canada.
Getting Started with Magic Jack
The basic form of Magic Jack (the Magic Jack Go) offers a year of telephone service for around $35 yearly (and has offers for five years at $100 for the full five years). There are no monthly bills (you can pay monthly if you choose, but they aren’t required for monthly payments), there is a mobile application that you can use on your phone, tablet or other mobile style device, and it offers both home service and business service. It has also been awarded the Frost & Sullivan Consumer Choice Award.
The Magic Jack Plus offers all of the options of the Magic Jack Go, but also includes very low international calling rates (for the entire world), free voicemail options (for both home and business services), and gives caller ID options for both as well. There is also an option for free call forwarding and call waiting (if you are on more than one call). Magic Jack Plus also comes with free 411 calling and no monthly bills either! This version of Magic Jack runs about $40 for a six month period, and about $300 for a five year service contract.
A Look at Both Versions
Both versions of Magic Jack offer crystal clear calling, and one of the best features is that you don’t have to change your phone number to be a customer of Magic Jack Go or Magic Jack Plus. You have a monthly bill option or a pay in full option for both services. The five year plans offer payment options for monthly, or yearly or pay in full. Both offer the Magic Jack device for plug in to your computer USB port or router, an Ethernet cord for your connection, a power adapter and a USB extension cord.
Another little bonus that both of these Magic Jack options is that any local, long distance and international call to another Magic Jack user is absolutely free!
Both of these options are excellent for anyone to use. There are plenty of options available, and when you consider all the extras you get, Magic Jack is a best bet for you. All you have to do is consider which one is the better choice for you!
