If you hold down the key, the tone at the receive end does not keep going! The MagicJack system automatically generates a fixed length tone ...

I placed the order for my My MagicJack on Sunday evening. It arrived Thursday by First Class Mail for a total elapsed time of 4 days. Therefore I rate the delivery time to be excellent.

I installed the MagicJack on a 1.7 GHz Celeron computer with 256 MB RAM running XP Pro Service Pack 3. I'm using ...
