  Here's a good short primer on the Magic Jack, with a list of the latest area codes (but, it's really only 1 positive review). http://www.magic-jack.info/ There are also links to find Discount Coupon Codes, which can make it even cheaper than the price you would find on TV. There is no risk to try it for 30 days (although they will put a hold on the total cost to you, so the funds will be there later). This 30 day hold, unexpected by many, is why you might see some call Magic Jack a scam, which it most definitely is not! You can also see screen shot previews of the install process! Assuming you have a fairly recent computer (with at least a gigabyte of RAM) and an average (or better) broadband connection, chances are good your Magic Jack will work fine! If your computer and connection are ok, make sure you don't block Magic Jack with some security program on your pc too. Magic Jack works on the following ports UDP 5061, TCP 80 and TCP 443. Look at the documentation on your firewall to open the ports to allow outgoing connections on these ports. If you are in the US, calls to Canada can be expensive. That is where my Magic Jack saves ME the most money! Most unlimited plans are for just the 50 States. Many who travel will say that's where Magic Jack save them the most money. I would not disconnect your land line until you've tried using a Magic Jack for about a month and then make up your mind... Good Luck!
