Foxinthesnow Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 since my wife and I are in different countries, we can't just call each other up like normal. I looked at the various options other people were using, and i picked magic jack plus. it was pretty cheep i guess and worked great. plus i got a year free, how cool is that. this isn't an advertisement though, its a question. my one year expired some time ago. now when i try to make a call a message comes on and tells me my one year is up and that i need to pay money to renew it...then it connects my call same as always. I am gonna pay anyway, cause i am grateful to the product for letting me talk to my wife so easily. just wondering if anyone else had used it or had a similar experience or...problem i guess.
LittleTiger Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I've never heard of Magic Jack. We use Skype. It's completely free if you have internet connection and, most of the time it works great. Why can't you 'just call each other up' like normal? We're 11,000 miles apart and we call each other on the phone all the time.

MagicJack is a subscription service not a one-time purchase. Go to their website and read the FAQ. Best, TMichaels

We have done Yahoo Messenger's Voice Chat numerous times. You just need a microphone and speakers/headphones.
