Everybody from small business owners to major corporations and not to mention households worldwide are starting to see the benefits of VoIP. VoIP saves money and cost efficient. Whether you're using VoIP for your residence or your business, you'll find it to be a lot cheaper than your normal landline telephone cost, be it short or long distance calls. However, the cost varies from one voip provider to another. Some allow unlimited calls and some charges only a small fee. - Jaime Interesting post.

My MagicJack device was $40 (one time fee) and arrived fairly quickly. It was very easy to install. I made a few trial calls once I installed the software and received my new phone number, but that's when things took a turn for the worse. During my trial calls, everyone I talked to said that they heard a loud buzzing noise on their end of the line. I heard a very slight buzz on my end, but nothing that noticeable. Just to be sure, I called my cell phone from my MagicJack line and sure enough there was a loud and constant buzz. I decided that no matter how affordable the service was it wasn't worth the savings if I was going to be putting people through all of that noise on their end of the line. I should also say that while I was researching the MagicJack online I found a lot of customer complaints about the MagicJack customer service department, or lack thereof, but my experience with them was actually pleasant. I simply called the customer service number to let them know that the MagicJack was not going to work for me, sent the MagicJack back to them and was never charged anything. That's my two cents on the MagicJack.
