As with any other device, the Magic Jack internet phone is not perfect, and even though it does its job well, a lot of people recommend that it is good only as a secondary or a back-up phone. This means that buyers ought to have a telephone system other than the Magic Jack.
One reason espoused is the fact that the Magic Jack works only when a computer is turned on and connected to high-speed internet. However, it cannot be denied that there will be times when your internet connection will get disconnected, no matter how reliable your internet provider is. Also, a computer may crash and bog down on you. When this happens, you may lose that chance to make very important calls.
Others also complain about an echo they seem to get when calling. Actually, this is quite a common consequence when using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. People do get used to this, and you will, too. When that happens, you will realize that the quality of the calls you make via the Magic Jack is actually very good.
Some people are also iffy about how difficult it is calling emergency numbers. Though it is possible, it may be a challenging thing for people who do not have the luxury of time. It does come in handy if you need to find cell phone numbers online and place the call quickly on the same page. But, clients agree that potential buyers should not make the Magic Jack their one and only telephone system.
