After using magicJack over the last month and testing various scenarios this product has proven to be well worth the investment of the initial $40 - $60 for the device and unlimited calls for $20 per year.
Four additional areas we tested over the last month were –
- RJ45 vs. Wifi – We sampled both RJ45 Cat5e Cable and Wifi situations and discovered it didn’t make a difference in the overall quality or performance using high speed internet. Most Wifi at G or higher is 11MB/s at a minimum and highspeed modems at its best is 2MB/s and Cat5e is 100MB/s. Unless the bandwidth was less than the highspeed we shouldn't have noticed a difference. Great performance overall.
- Diversified sample of calls – Here we tested multiple types of calls from conference calls to individual calls and worked nicely in all scenarios.
- PC headset vs. Phone – We identified a HUGE difference in the pureness of the call when switching to a PC usb headset by Plantronics. When using a normal phone the difference in quality may be due to the signal transitioning from digital to analog to digital. To obtain amazing pureness, even better than a normal phone or cell phone, use the PC headset for amazing quality.
- Router needs to be unplugged every month – We haven’t experienced this issue though the directions state.
