Can you imagine getting a new phone service that charges one low fee (Less than $40) and only costs less than $20 per year? 

You don’t have to imagine.

There is a company named Magic Jack that offers clear phone service with no monthly fees, or any other types of fees.

This is a brand new service available for anyone who has broadband internet access. You simply purchase the device, plug it into your computer, and you’re assigned a phone local number that allows you to call nationwide, and to other countries at no cost.

Although I’ve seen the news reports and press releases, I have not tried this new technology. I have placed my order and am awaiting the delivery of the product. The only way to acquire one is to order online at their web site. They’re even giving you a 30 day free trial to try it before you buy it.

Warning: Do not discontinue your existing phone service if you get this new service. The reason is that the phone service only works through your internet connection. If your internet service is down, so will your phone service.

I see myself testing this service as an additional line for the house first, and then try it out for the business. If you’re a small business owner, or are just starting out, you may want to consider trying this service as an added line, but not as a primary line.

If this technology is reliable, you can rest assured that many business owners will save a lot of money in long distance fees. Oh, and by the way, it also comes with call forwarding, call waiting, 911 service and more.
