FemtoJack USB Phone Review: Is FemtoJack Legit Or A Scam?

Update 1/18/10: magic Jack has canceled its plans for the femtoJack with its idea quickly being passed up by Apps that serve the same purpose.

If you liked or have heard of the Magic Jack then you have to check out the new femtoJack. The femtoJack is an all new telephone device that the Magic Jack makers, Ymax will be coming out with in the near future. The femtoJack is a femtocell device that will be used in a similar fashion as the Magic Jack. It is a small USB device that you hook up to your computer in order to connect a telephone to a VoIP network and route your telephone calls over a broadband Internet connection. The femtoJack is expected to be slightly bigger than the Magic Jack but function in the same manner and have the same magic Jack features. The big difference between the two however is that the Femto Jack is a femtocell which means that is it specifically designed to route cell phone calls over the Internet as opposed to landline call with the magicJack.

This innovation is a huge one for the Ymax Corporation and something that almost certainly will be one of the biggest selling products over the next few years. With the femtoJack, cell phone users should be able to get unlimited minutes when they are within range of their femto Jack and their calls are routed over the VoIP network. This should enable heavy cell phone users to significantly reduce their overall monthly phone bills and this could virtually end the need for a landline together. In theory, the femtoJack femtocell device essentially turns your cell phone into a landline when you are at home. Also, there is no need to worry about cell service or cell signals because you will be able to get perfectly clear service whenever you are in range of the femtoJack. So in effect, the femtoJack, and other femtocells, work sort of like cell phone boosters in the fact that they can give you perfect service in your home where you previously had cell signal problems.

If you are interested in getting a femtoJack then you will have to wait sometime. Although the idea is in the works and the technology has been develop there are still some issues to be dealt with. These hurdles include dealing with FCC regulations and working with major U.S. cell phone carriers on some sort of agreement.
