This is a follow of my previous post regarding Cost Effective VOIP for Home or Business Use.

Well, my first week of testing produced an excellent result. Let's review what I have for this VOIP test.

1. I have broadband cable, normal bandwidth varies from 1Mbps to 4Mbps. To be specific I'm using COX.NET Broadband Cable. I think this will work using COMCAST or VERIZON FIOS or other local internet broadband service.
2. I have Windows VISTA Operating System and keep in mind I've tested this VOIP using XP environment.
3. I have a Gateway Laptop Centrino Duo which I normally used to browse the Internet and conduct business.
4. The MagicJack USB is directly connected to one of my laptop's USD drive.

If you have a similar broadband access, this should work for you.

Now what saving I've got from using this service?
Before using MagicJack, I'm using VONAGE service of unlimited calls for $24.95 or $30.75 after taxes. This is $369 per year.

If you are using your local phone service e.g. Verizon, check your monthly bill and multiply this to 12 to get the per year cost. You will be shock to find out that you are paying way more as you compare this to VONAGE service.

Now, compare this to MagicJack for only $19.95 per year and one time fee of $39.95 plus shipping fee. To save even more, I will lock it for 5 years for only $59.95 (approximately $11.99 per year). Imagine using a unlimited nationwide phone service for $11.99 per year for 5 years. After 5 years, you price revert back to $19.95 per year.

I normally don't locked my service for 3 or more years (except for car payment). This service is an exception. There you go, it's up to you to decide whether you use this service or not.

Next article is testing this service using Sprint Wireless Broadband service. I assume it will work the same way, to see is to believe.
