Bob I always wondered how well magic jack worked other than their TV ads. Now they say you don't even need to have a computer to use it,,don't know what that means. No problem for me if this goes off-topic,,I'm comptuer illiterate anyway.
Magic Jack
Plus does need to be plugged into your computer
one time. When you first set it up, it needs to do that while plugged into the USB connection of your computer.
Once that's done, it's plugged directly into the router and no longer needs the computer except for possible updates and
future changes. At $19.95 per year, it's the cheapest reliable phone service I've been able to find.
(I don't work for them or get anything for making these positive remarks.)
The old Magic Jack always had to be plugged into the computer and the computer needed to be on in order to use it. (I still have it and it still works after 7 years of use.)
If I ever get to go back to Prague, I'll be taking it and a phone with me to call home.
