Move over Skype-out, the Magic Jack might be a better option for VOIP calls

I don’t know where Ive been but this little product is one I would definitely find interesting but only recently heard about. The Magic Jack is a nifty little USB VOIP device that allows you to use your broadband connection to make phonecalls anywhere in the US, for free. Well not exactly free, there is an annual fee but the calls are free.

The Magic Jack is basically a USB connection on one side and a regular phone jack on the other. You pop it into your USB port and plug any landline phone into the jack and your ready to make calls. You do have to go through a small setup once you purchase the Magic Jack. You sign up, and pay the $20 a year fee and start making calls. Your accounts is tied to the USB device, so once you got it set up, it should work on any PC as long as there is a high speed connection. With the device, you will get a local phone number, free voicemail and call forwarding.
