Is there an alternative to Magic Jack

Post by kbaggs »

I have been online with tech support at least 3 times. Each time taking an hour or more.

I have 2 problems that they have not been able to fix.

The outbound call cuts out after 5 minutes.

I can't call 1-800 numbers.

Nope. MagicJack is the only VOIP/Landline/Cell phoning option left on the entire planet.

I REALLY REALLY try to be nice in here. I really do. But unless you just got off a slow boat from China...and I mean 20 year slow boat ride..that had to be one of the "silliest" questions I've seen in here yet. No offense towards the questioner. But just the million commercials and pop-ups for Vonage in the last 5 years have pushed me to the brink of insanity.

Funny, I never associate him with two works, I always throw one or two more in. :D

He's actually a good "kid". VERY misguided on his view on business in the U.S., but he knows his computer stuff pretty darn good.

I agree he does know his stuff................ he came up with a very nice fix when MJ screwed up the screen saver in the early Oct update..

Ya gotta be more specific than that. What was a whale of a thing to say? A LOT of fishy stuff was thrown out there.

I do have to admit though, I am thinking of dropping T-Mobile as my cell phone provider. Is there an alternative to T-Mobile?

Nope! T-Mobile is the only cell phoning option left on the entire planet. (Sorry....ya know it HAD to be said :P ) I heard that from a reliable source too.....a one legged oriental chick. I think she said her name was Irean. She also said to say Hi to Joe. She said she love you long time.

Oh yeah, she also explained it's all George Bushes fault! WAIT! Her name wasn't Irean, it was Michelle. :?

PLEASE don't tell me you thought I was serious about wanting cell phone info.

(If anyone gives a rat's ass, I use TracFone strictly for backup or emergency use. Costs me $20 every 3 months, so after tax about $7 a month. Happy as a pig in whatever with it too.)

The cell phone thing was a joke but my wife and found page plus sometime back. Your right, Verizon network so same good signals here; but much better price!

And no I have nothing to do with them :) It is a good deal thats all!
