Info needed on Magic Jack...

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for asking.

Let me clarify. I can Make calls to BOTH U.S and Canada. I have no problems here.

However, my actual Magic Jack phone number is a U.S based phone number and I live in Canada.

My ONLY choices I had to choose from, when picking my phone number were from States in the U.S as they had no Canadian phone numbers available at the time.

So basically when I said:

"Here in Canada they do not have area codes"

I could not choose a Canadian based Magic Jack phone number as they had none available to choose at the time.

Hope that clarifies my previous statement.

I'm confused.

I regularly make calls to Canada (Brooks AB especially) and the area code is 403. Medicine Hat has a 403 area code also.

I've used the Magic Jack for over a year. Works just fine. I would *not* use it as my primary phone line. For a secondary phone line it works just fine. Good for teenagers who like to stay on the phone a lot too.

My office has a two line phone. The land line is on one line and the MagicJack on the other. I like being able to plug a normal phone into the MagicJack.

My opinion if you need a phone line for teleconferences and such is to keep a land line in place. It really does sound better and is more reliable. Use Magic Jack, Skype, Gizmo, etc. for secondary phone lines.
