The software also saves contacts and call history logs. You can also set up an e-mail address to have your voicemails delivered to your inbox as audio attachments.

MagicJack's voicemail can be accessed via the software on your computer or by calling your phone number. The service also includes voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, 411 directory assistance, conference calling and E911 service (the VoIP version of traditional 911 emergency service, which sends your address along with the call). You can purchase a year or five years additional service during setup or at any time afterward. You can make international calls with the device, but it requires purchasing pre-paid minutes. You can also call other MagicJack users for free anywhere in the world. This holds true even if you are using the MagicJack abroad. If you turn off your computer or it goes to sleep, you can still get voicemail, and call forwarding will still work.Īs of fall 2013, your MagicJack Plus purchase comes with six months of service, which includes unlimited calls to numbers in the U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. This version requires that your computer stay on and awake constantly to make and receive calls. You can even dispense with the physical phone and use the MagicJack soft-phone (software phone) to dial numbers via a virtual keypad on your screen and talk directly via your computer's speaker and microphone or an attached headset. Once setup and registration are complete, you plug a corded or cordless phone into the phone jack and you should be ready to make and receive calls. To use the original MagicJack, plug the device into your computer's USB port and it automatically installs software on your computer. The newer MagicJack Plus has both of those plus an Ethernet port, and it incorporates its own motherboard, removing the need for a constant computer connection. The original has a USB connector and a standard RJ11 phone jack. Both the original MagicJack and the newer MagicJack Plus are analog telephone adapters (ATAs), roughly the size of a matchbox, that allow you to make VoIP phone calls over your Internet connection. MagicJack was invented by Dan Borislow and launched in late 2007.
