I was wondering has anyone used magic jack? I just paid for it today but been wondering if it works from Pakistan since im gona send it over there.

Works like a charm in pakistan. yes

You need broadband internet in Pakistan for it to work. So unless you are in a big city where broadband is available cheaply it's waste of money.

It's VoIP based, should work anywhere there is internet. But like a1kashur suggested, best to have high speed internet for uninterrupted connection. The price is almost a steal, i saw it advertised for $19.99 for the entire year.

isnt skype better?

Skype is good. But you can only use it when u sit in front of ur computer. with magic jack we can recieve calls on phones. Just like call centric is working for us. But it cost around 25 bucks a month. I find magic jack much cheaper.

oh okay

nice so u can even get calls while on the go, that's very handy

Magic Jack needs to be attached to a computer. Only way you can do it on the go if your laptop is connected to the wi fi or has a wireless plan through a mobile service

but i've seen skype on some phones though

uses edge

TLK · Jul 7th, 2009, 03:31 PM

I am sure edge based phones can do skype .. maybe many wifi enabled smart phones, when not in service area can do skype ..

yeah wifi hotspots and skype = winning combination

You usually have to pay for skyp to make calls on landlines or cell phones... For Magic jack, you just have to pay like 20 bucks a year and you can make calls anywhere around the globe. Isnt it cool!!!!

cherrybell37 · Jul 7th, 2009, 08:06 PM

by the way u pay around 50 bucks for the first year, that includes the device, service, shipping and handling.... After the first year, you just pay $ 20 per year....
