I do a lot of long distance calling so it is very feasible for me. hey, I love magic jack. the 19.95/year that’s if you live in the states, in Canada which is where i live its $19.85/year plus $10 for I don’t know what :) so its about $30/year which is still amazing.

I have Cox broadband with plenty of bandwidth. even with that my sound quality has gone down hill over the last couple months. Its unusable 50% of the time now. their tech support has not been able to solve the issue. MY skype phone has worked flawless. Always rings when i get as call. Always connects when I initiate a call. Sounds is fine. no one has ever complained. for $3 a month and $30 for a # which now can be displayed when making a call is $66 compared to $19. So skype wins this one. Yes I know the device cost $20 to start but my skype phone cost more then that so I'll exclude one time hardware costs. the other good thing with the skype phone i don't need to leave a pc on.

If you call your #. Enter in you pass code. hit * a couple times to get to the main menu and choose option 0 mailbox options. you can set your personal greeting there.

Also, at $3 a month, it's almost twice as much as MJ is. Skype requires a special USB phone, whereas MJ doesn’t. Also, at $3 a month, it’s almost twice as much as MJ is.

When skype first offered unlimited US land line calling for I think it was $20 I signed up for the year. It was ok. I never found a reasonably price / usable skype phone or USB 2 skype convert so i could use a standard cordless phone. I do have a skpe in bound # that I use on my notebook with a blue tooth headset.
