Magicjack - Who This Device Is For? - Is Magicjack Worth the Money?

Magicjack has been around for quite some time. It has worked well for some people while there are others who believe it is not worth the money you spend on it. Well, it depends upon where you are calling. Magicjack is definitely a revolutionary device that makes long distance calls within the US and Canada completely free once you pay the yearly charge.

Who the Magicjack is for?

As I mentioned above that this unique VoIP calling device is a good money saver for some people, it is not that useful for everyone. VoIP internet calls are much cheaper than traditional phone calls but then there are many other VoIP services that provide almost the same kind of facilities as magicjack.

Call rates Of Magicjack and other VoIP Service providers

Skype, Vonage and many other internet calling services are quite popular. Their call rates are also highly competitive. Calling US and Canada is quite cheap anyway by using any of these services. However none of these services make your US and Canada calls completely free. Calling US by Skype costs approximately 2 cents per minute which means you can make a 50 minute call in one dollar. Almost all other VoIP phone services also charge you the same amount for calling US and Canada.

Magicjack costs $40 for the first year of service which includes the USB device. For next year you need to pay $ 20. By a simple comparison of call rates, you can make approximately 1000 minutes of calls by paying $ 20 for other services. Once you have finished those 1000 minutes you need to pay more for making more calls whereas with magicjack you can make unlimited calls by paying just $20 for a complete year.

It all depends upon your usage. If you make more than 1000 minutes of calls to US and Canada in a year, magicjack will definitely prove to be a big money saver for you. If your usage is less than 1000 minutes a year, any VoIP service will be equally useful for you. It goes without saying that all of these services use the same technology therefore call quality is almost the same. Similarly if you make calls to other countries and not US or Canada, any VoIP service will be equally good for you because magicjack only allow calls to US and Canada free of cost. For other countries, the call rates are approximately the same.

Dependence on Speed of internet

All VoIP telephony services depend upon the speed of your internet connection and performance of your PC. However when it comes to portability and ease of use, magicjack definitely has some competitive edge. It can be carried anywhere easily. Moreover it can be plugged to any PC with internet connection and it is ready for making calls within minutes. In fact you do not even need a headphone if your laptop has inbuilt speakers.

I have been using Magicjack for quite some time and it has been a great money saver for me. However, I must say that it is because most of my calls are for US and Canada. Just spend some time analyzing your international call usage and decide if this magical device is for you. Read more about how it works and order the free trial of Magicjack
