Magic Jack

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.

Re: Magic Jack

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.

Re: Magic Jack

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.

Re: Magic Jack

isnt skype better?

Re: Magic Jack

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. :)

Re: Magic Jack

oh okay :D

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

Re: Magic Jack

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

Re: Magic Jack

but i've seen skype on some phones though

uses edge

Re: Magic Jack

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

Re: Magic Jack

yeah wifi hotspots and skype = winning combination

Re: Magic Jack

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!!!!

Re: Magic Jack

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....

Re: Magic Jack

its a great thing.,. i used in in europes.. works like a charm. .but do have some problems in lahore/faisalabad...

probably PTCL voip blocking..

Re: Magic Jack

Skype never seem t owork on my phone. It sucks

Any body using MagicJack in Islamabad lately (Sept'09)??? Please let me know about the voice quality...

Thanks

Re: Magic Jack

i live in Canada, and sent a Magic Jack to my father in Karachi, who has PTCL Broadband. Magic Jack works awesome and calls are crystal clear. Not bad for $20 per year.

Magicjack could be purchased from magicjack Pakistan, the Magic jack Branch for Pakistan is in Karachi.
