It's cut about $30 off my monthly phone bill with no loss in usefulness. As a work around, Google Voice now only rings my cell phone, which pretty much defeats the purpose of having it.That said, I'm happy with it. But last time I checked, that all-too-obvious feature had been promised but not delivered. There's an obvious fix for that, being able to turn of MagicJack's voice mail. Google Voice will certainly ring both numbers, but if you aren't running MagicJack, MJ instantly sends that call to voice mail, bypassing any other voice mail and any chance to take the call on a cell phone. If the call will be a long one, I call them back on MagicJack.I'd hoped to use my cell service and MagicJack with Google Voice but I stumbled on a hitch. When you dial 911, your service address is forwarded to local emergency response personnel so that. This address is filed as your service address. When you activate your Ooma Telo device, you must provide a valid address within the country of purchase (either the U.S. That's why I take most calls with my per-minute cell phone service. Yes, Oomas home phone service provides 911 calls where supported. For MJ to work, you computer must be running and your Internet service up. It works less well for incoming calls, particularly if it is your only phone. I can get any number in the US just about, but what good is that to me and anyone wanting to call me.MagicJack works best for outgoing calls and for that being in Canada is no obstacle.
My magicjack arrived today, but being on a Mac and in Canada means I cannot register it with a Canadian number! Go figure.
