magicJack® Uses

1. Inexpensive Secondary Telephone Service »[Costing $19.95 per year or 5¢ per day]
2. Excellent adjunct to expensive prime time and/or poor indoor Cellular Telephone Service
3. Distribute magicJack® phone number to all contacts as primary contact number
4. When outdoors have the magicJack® phone number forwarded to cell phone
5. When indoors use magickJack® phone number to reach and be reached by contacts

Number Two

1. Inexpensive Second Telephone Service for your home »[Costing $19.95 per year or 5¢ per day]
2. If you don’t want to leave your computer on overnight, just have the magicJack® phone number forwarded to your Primary service when shutdown
3. Excellent teenager(s) own phone line instead of expensive cellular phone when at home → can be used like magicJack® Uses Number One as above

Number Three

1. Inexpensive telephone service for a home business »[Costing $19.95 per year or 5¢ per day]
2. Built in voice mail makes it easy for customers messages to be heard via email when away from home business location, like when at your primary employment

I am very sorry to hear this. I haven’t had any issues with the company and my Magic Jack works great. I have begun using it as my office phone line for my help to use for communication with clients.

I hope that you’re able to find a way to get your refund before Christmas Day. I also hope that you’re able to find a way to make Christmas morning good for your children. I’m thankful for parents on both sides for making Christmas a good time for my children every year and especially during the hard times we’ve had.

With the economy in the state that it’s in, I know many of us having a hard Christmas this year.

I would not recommend this company to any one they shady business practices. I ordered this majic jack with the understanding that my card would not be charged for 30 days. Low and behold a charge immediately on my card for 93.80. I emailed them the next morning only to be told it wasn’t in their system yet and I had to wait for 24 to 48 hours. I waited then emailed them again, they then said they were updating their system. I received a confirmation email from them which stated if I did nothing the magic jacks would be mailed, or I could reply to the email if I wanted to change the order. Well, I replied to that email and told them, I had not worked in months and thought my card would not be charged for 30 days. I told them all I had in this world was 100.00 for my children for Christmas and I needed this order to be cancelled and the money placed back on my card. Thinking it was taken care of because I did what I was asked to do, then on top of that I chatted with a live person. I was told it would be taken care. I got home today to an email from Magic Jack telling me the order was shipped. I immediately went back online and chatted with a manager, all they could do was apologize and tell me to refuse the package, and when they get the package back they will refund the money back to my card. Christmas is in 2 days, Thank you Magic Jack for my children waking up Christmas morning with NOTHING under the tree. If I thought the card would have been charged right away I would have never ordered it, they lied and then they didn’t honor their promise. I don’t care how much extra it costs me for a regular phone, I will never get this product.

I agree with you. Kaspersky Internet Security is also my choice. It provides users with the same proven anti-virus protection as Kaspersky Anti-Virus together with additional features including Parental Control, a personal firewall, an anti-spam filter, Privacy Control and more.

Comment on Do I Have Enough RAM? by admin

Brett, that’s actually something I was not familiar with. I’ll have to look into that. I’ll probably be seeing if I can turn it off! lol

My laptop has 3 GB of memory, and I’m always hovering around 2GB with the usual applications open.

I agree, seems like a waste to not be using it. I just like to see myself having plenty free

Thanks for the insight.

Comment on Do I Have Enough RAM? by Brett Mitchell

Hi James,

Not sure if you’re familiar with he reason Vista uses ram so quickly — SuperFetch; it actively stores programs you use often in the ram so that when you launch programs, they launch faster. They don’t need to be moved to the ram from the hard drive.

If you have 4gb of ram, and Windows XP is reporting that you’re using 512mb, the other 3.5 is really just a waste, sitting there. Why NOT use it to store programs?

That being said, I wouldn’t use Vista with less than 2gb either, so it’s a moot point anyway.

Cheers,

Brett
