#MAGICJACK PC#

You boot up your computer, if itвЂ™s not already running. Okay, setting up magicJack? Listen VERY carefully. You have a high-speed Internet connection (128 kbps or better), such as DSL, cable, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, or FiOS.

#MAGICJACK PC#

You have a Windows XP or Vista PC or an Apple Macintosh.Requirements: magicJack will work for you if. In the package are the device itself-which measures about 2 ВЅ x 1 ВЅ x slightly under 5/8 inches, and weighs in at just under one ounce (by our old-fashioned postal scale)-a 6-inch USB extension adaptor, and a printed card containing installation instructions (3 pictures and fewer than 20 words), a bit of installation troubleshooting advice, a concise statement of technical requirements (weвЂ™ll come back to those in a second), and a detailed set of caveats about the 911 service. If you buy your magicJack direct from the company, it arrives in a purpose-built 8 ВЅ x 5 1/4 x 5/8 inch package. It also provides voicemail, caller ID, call forwarding, 911 service, and semi-live tech support. The magicJack-available for $39.95 (plus whatever taxes, miscellaneous shipping or other charges apply) directly from magicJack, as well as Radio Shack, Office Depot, BestBuy, and other outlets-does provide a free DID (incoming phone number) and free calling anywhere in the U.S. Well, it seems there are exceptions to just about every вЂrule.вЂ™ Well, what would you say to the idea of a $40 matchbox-size device that connects a standard phone to just about any broadband-connected Windows or Mac computer and gives you a free phone number and cost-free local and long distance North American calling for a year? No doubt youвЂ™ve heard the old adage вЂњIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably isвЂќ about a thousand times, right?
