Final conclusion: Magicjack sucks!   3 comments

Posted at 1:21 pm in tech

As you might remember I ordered a Magicjack a few weeks ago and reviewed it decently. Well I have come to the conclusion that Magicjack sucks, after a few weeks use. It works great from my end, but everyone I call hates talking to me when I am using it. They get choppy audio and sometimes can’t hear me at all. I would say it would be alright for traveling and using every now and then. I WOULD NOT REPLACE MY PHONE WITH THIS LITTLE PIECE OF PLASTIC SHIT. I was actually thinking of disconnecting Vonage when I recieved this. I’m glad I didn’t Vonage’s quality is a bajillion times better than this. Both of them have shitty customer service, but atleast the people I am calling can hear what the hell I am saying. The up side of the magicjack is that it is very small, portable, and cheap. Otherwise, all other aspects you would expect in phone service suck. I will probably just leave this in my laptop bag and just use it when I’m traveling or something. I guess you get what you pay for.

If anyone knows of a really good SIP provider let me know. I am wanting to start playing around with asterisk.
