What Is The MagicJack Plus?
It is a new device from VocalTec that is exactly the same as the original device in that it is a VoIP telephone adapter that allows users to make unlimited local and long distance calls to the US and Canada through a regular phone for only $29.95/ year ( $10 increase over the original). In fact, it comes with the same features as the old magic Jack but also a few key upgrades that make it a lot better.
The biggest difference between the two is that the magicJack Plus not only works by way of USB port but also independently of a computer via Ethernet to router/modem (It was originally slated to work via WiFi and possibly 4G but these updates were cancelled). The major hang up with the magic Jack, its reliance on a computer, has now been solved with the plus. Another difference from its predecessor are two new features that are sure to improve call quality to an all time level. These two features are Echo Control and HD Voice and these additions will make call quality as good or better than you can get with any other phone.
The biggest reason why the new device is such a great product is because it comes with all of the excellent benefits that people have been getting for years with the old gadget but it also addresses the magic Jack’s shortcomings. In the past people have been willing to deal with any issues in exchange for saving $50 per month but now you can have your cake and eat it too!
The magicJack plus will cost just $69.95, which is $30 more than the old one but should be well worth it when you consider its upgrades. At the 2011 CES Dan Barislow ran a demo to show every how it worked and although not yet released it is currently in beta and is a working product that is getting good reviews up to this point. The release date was estimated at sometime during the first quarter of 2011 with a potential release of an app too.

- ~ GREAT For FAXING
"Daniel Blecha - We purchased your Magic Jack about 1 year ago, wondering if it would work for our FAXING NEEDS. Previously we had a phone line ONLY for our FAX MACHINE. --- Not Cheap! Bought it - Took it out of the box - Plugged it in - Moments later a dial tone was heard - Made a phone call with it - Faxed a document using it ------ All worked flawlessly, effortlessly! We love it! --- and now I often make phone calls with it (as the sound quality is often better than my "phone line". Another fact: a friend bought 4 MGs. He uses 1 connected to his notebook computer when he is literally "out in the field". It works great he says. His other ones are all hooked to his Multi-Line Phone System for his business & work Great too. He told me today that he is dropping his phone carrier as this works BETTER & Saves HIM"

I have had Magic Jack for over 3 years now… and I LOVE IT !!!

Even loosing 1 year of service, it is way better than local land line monthly charge. You can always try to sell the old one on ebay in order to make your money back.

If the MJ Plus is connected to the ethernet instead of a computer, does it still provide 911 service?
October 9, 2011 at 8:53 pm
To the person who asked about 911 service with MJPlus — there is really no difference between how you set up for 911 now and how it is done with MJPlus. For either device, you have to do it manually in order for the 911 network to know where you are physically. If you use it for travel purposes then it is not practical to use this for 911 unless you are capable of speaking.

Can I use magic jack plus on more than onee phone in my house?
October 29, 2011 at 8:03 pm
I currently have AT&T Uverse for my phone, Internet and cable. How can I hook the MagicJack Plus into the modem and use it for every phone (wall and cordless) in my house?

I have been a magic jack customer for a couple of years and in spite of the technical issues have been happy with the product. We have it connected to a base station phone with three satellites. Works great in that respect. I saw an infomercial today about the Plus version and ordered it through Radioshack.com (free shipping to the local store) for 69.99 plus tax. Can’t wait to plug it into the switch and get it off of the computer.

Magic Jack has been really great. Now I am having problems dialing numbers one is 518-597-3640. Also, 518 633 4127 another local number. That number is in my area code. Another is in Virginia 540 740 0668 a private number for my wife’s friend. I am supposed to be able to dial all of these numbers, yet when I try them, an intercept recording cuts in and says I have to prepay for these calls. I don’t know why, it doesn’t apply to any other calls.
