I had no clue what to write about so I figured to find out about the latest technology I'd turn to my local newspaper. I found an interesting article about the new MajicJack. MajicJack is a little device that plugs into your computer and through your Internet, this devices lets you make international phone calls for free. The makers of this device have come out with an even better MajicJack.
The new MajicJack also plugs into your PC as well and detects a compatible cell phone when it is within 8 feet. When the user wants to dial out the MajicJack reroutes the call to go through the Internet without crediting the cell phone for airtime. This includes international calls. This device can only be used with AT&T and T-Mobile right now but the makers of MajicJack are trying to use this device with all cell phone carriers.
The MajicJack sells for $40, which is fairly low considering what you get with this product. This might not affect us American students but I could see this being a big success for international students and the men and women that are serving the US over seas. This is a great way for people to keep in touch with their loved ones without breaking the bank. MajicJack has been a success so far but with more and more students coming to the US for education and more and more of our armed forces being sent over seas, the MajicJack will be a booming invention. I predict that this company will come out with nice profits!

I have seen the commercials for this product and they say "fire your phone company, phone service for $1.70 per month". I have wondred about the Internet connection part. That part is not free and for people like me who have DSL, you can never really fire your phone company. I also wonder how well it really works because if the power goes out you will have no service. It is going to be interesting to see where wireless is going to go in the next five years.
ReplyDeleteI think i heard about the MagicJack too. I wonder if the cellphones companies like this product? Probably not. The good thing about MagicJack you don't have to worry about minutes and roaming cost when using the service.
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for the post about the jack. I new this device worked for a land line, but I had no idea that it would also reroute the cell phone calls so that no air time was used…that is great.
