Magic Phone

[mechtech]

I saw an infomercial about 'Magic Phone'.

If you have a high speed internet connection, simply plug this little device into a USB computer port, and your phone into it. Immediately, you have a dial tone.
Only $19.95 per YEAR.
Initially. $39.95 for the device and one year's service.
All calls local and long distance, for this low price.
It could be a huge cost saver.
I am not ready to put all my phone eggs in to one basket yet -I won't eliminate my other phones yet. I couldn't trust the net .
But this could be the next step for many people.

And by the way, FIRST POST here!!

I don't think I could trust anything with the word "Magic" in it's name.

sounds like a really cool idea. I will be watching to see if these take off.

We have something like that sold at our school book store. No one buys it. Ever. Could have something due to the fact that it costs $40 (I think) and no one wants to spend 40 on a phone when everyone has a cellphone already

its just a voip phone service like skype or gizmo or many of the other variants out there

[KnightJovian]

Yeah, just VOIP, and i love my skype too much to get rid of it...

[Soadrocksever]

idk, theres something about voip that i dont like.

and my cell phone is all the phone i need, but i guess when you have your own home a house phone is semi nessecary. and this is a good route, and one of the cheapest voip services around
