May 12, 2009 MagicJack a low cost phone experience In the Box Requirements
Setup Dear MagicJack User: Thank you. MagicJack is not in the business of giving free 30 day or even one year calling accounts without a purpose. They make that clear with many ads on their site as well as on the menu structure on screen and even a small splash screen that shows on the monitor when your system boots up.

I picked up the very basic $10.00 phone I use for testing and immediately had a dial tone. I dialed one of the test cell phones on my desk and was connected. I then dialed the MagicJack phone number from that cell phone and heard a very nice voice tell me the person I called was not available at this time but I could leave a voice mail. I did that and a note about the message I left arrived almost instantly in my email inbox. Instructions were provided for access.
