What is the Magic Jack Plus?

The Magic Jack is a device that lets you get unlimited telephone minutes for only $19.95 a year. This telecommunications device was created a few years ago by a company called Ymax/VocalTec, and it has revolutionized the way people use their phones. Recently this company upgraded the Magic Jack and released a new device called the Magic Jack Plus.

Like the Magic Jack, the Magic Jack Plus still allows the user to make unlimited phone calls through the United States and Canada. It still only costs $19.95, and you can make local and long distance calls. This is a VoIP device, and this stands for Voice Over IP. The device works through the internet. The Magic Jack Plus can use a USB port or an Ethernet cable. So, even if you do not have a computer, you can use this new device. You can hook it straight up to your modem, and you will need a fairly fast broadband connection. This is an advantage over the earlier version of the product because you do not have to boot up your computer every time you want to use the phone.

A big advantage to the Magic Jack Plus is that you can just plug it in and go. It will work with any type of phone. So it is very easy to install and get going. All you have to do is register online, which is free. Some of the features include call forwarding, call waiting and voicemail. You can even get your own phone number. You can either make calls with a telephone or with your computer if you have a microphone. When you travel outside of the US or Canada, you can call home with no problem from your laptop computer or a hotel phone.

The manufacturers of this device have taken steps to improve the call quality so that you can have even clearer calls. They have implemented Echo Control, which helps to reduce echoes during the call. They also created something called HD Voice, which improves the call clarity. If you choose to purchase the Magic Jack Plus, you will have 30 days to try it out. If you are not satisfied, you can send it back. You can expect to pay around $50 for the device, but this includes the first year of service. If you make a lot of calls or if you live abroad and make a lot of calls to the United States or Canada, you should consider purchasing a Magic Jack Plus.
