MagicTalk Phone Review - Stand Alone Magic Jack Software

What Is MagicTalk?

MagicTalk is a 100% software based VoIP telephone service brought to us by the makers of the magic Jack and magic Jack plus. This new software program is free to download and offers its users free local, long distance, and international calling to all magic Talk and magic Jack users along with free incoming calls from landlines and cell phones. However, in order to make outgoing calls to cell phones and landlines you must upgrade from the basic service to magic Talk's preferred service. Like the magic Jack, magicTalk costs just $19.95 for a full year of unlimited local and long distance calls to the United States and Canada.

How Is MagicTalk Different From Magic Jack?

The primary difference is that magicTalk is not a device but merely a software program. This of course means that you are unable to hook up a regular phone to magicTalk and therefore all calls are made directly from your computer screen. Since there is no device to purchase magicTalk is offering some free services that aren't available with the magic Jack. This includes unlimited free calls to any magic Jack or magicTalk user along with free incoming calls from cell phones and landlines. As state above, in order to be able to place outgoing calls to non magic Jack numbers you must upgrade for just $19.95 for each year of unlimited service at all United States and Canadian numbers.

Does MagicTalk Have An App For Cell Phones?

Yes! MagicTalk has an app that will be released very shortly for Android phones, Iphone, Blackberry, Ipad, and other smartphones. This app will allow users to make free phones calls via their cell phone whenever they have a wifi connection. All they have to do is make their call directly through the app. The MagicTalk app is expected to be free and provide the same basic membership that the computer based program offers with the need for an upgrade to a preferred membership for all outgoing calls to non magic Jack numbers.

The MagicTalk Bottom Line

All magic Jack products are quite amazing and provide consumers with an unbelievably great service and an absolutely ridiculous low price. If you want most of the features of the magic Jack but would prefer to make all calls directly through your computer then magicTalk is definitely the way to go. No matter what you decide if you need a home phone then you can't go wrong with any of the current magic Jack products.
