Using Magic Jack

Reading this article will help prepare you for using Magic Jack. Specifically we will talk about how to purchase, how to install and the different features of the softphone screen. When you are finished reading this article you will feel confident about buying and using this internet phone service.

If you prefer to shop online, you can buy the Magic Jack at places like the official site, on Amazon.com or on eBay. It is also offered through local retailers such as Walmart, Best Buy and Walgreens. I recommend purchasing Magic Jack locally if you can. Then if something happens and you want to return it you have a much better chance of doing that.

It only takes a few minutes to install. Just plug in the device to your computer’s usb port, wait for a few minutes while the software downloads and it will be ready to use. During the installation process you will be asked for your physical location and also which area code you want to use.

You will use the softphone screen often when you own a Magic Jack. It saves your phone numbers for you in an address book. It has buttons that when clicked will take you to useful web sites.

An important feature is the voice mail. You will receive instructions in the packaging that tell you how to set up your voice mail. Make sure you do this right away so that you don’t miss any important messages.

Magic Jack does offer a 911 option, but I really don’t recommend depending on it. Too many things can go wrong that could affect you during an emergency. You might have forgotten to change the location address on your softphone screen. It is a good idea to keep another phone as backup for these times.

The softphone screen has some more buttons on it, for visiting commonly used websites. These sites are Yahoo, Google, AOL and the Weather. It also has a link to an information website for telephone numbers.

These are the basics for using Magic Jack. It is possible to save a lot of money on your long distance phone calls with it. Now that you know the best place to buy one, you can decide if you want to try out this new internet phone service.
