Ch. 7 Magic Jack{0}

Chapter 7 introduces us to the concepts of network architecture and mobile technology and how these technologies can help employees better communicate within an organization and allow easier and faster responses to others outside the organization. Businesses must understand the new trends of technology to compete in today’s mobile world. Members in an organization must have easy access the largest network–the internet.


I found a product that makes it easier for organizations and individuals to keep in touch without spending hundreds of dollars. MagicJack is positioned to be the fastest growing telecom company in the world. It was founded by Dan Borislow, also founder of YMAX Communications Corporation. It was nominated as the Product of the Year 2008. MagicJack does require some kind of internet connection in order to function such as broadband, High-Speed Internet, cable internet, DSL, WiFi, WiMax, FiOs. However, MagicJack does not work over dial-up or satellite internet. Some of the features that MagicJack offers are: free local and long distance, free directory assistance, free phone number, free call waiting, free voicemail, free Caller ID, and now FREE MagicJack Conference Calling.

The magic about MagicJack is that it eliminates the expense of local and long distance phone charges, which saves the average customer around $1000 a year. In 2008, PC Magazine Editors-Choice said “MagicJack’s call quality is amazing—almost too good to be true. …for less than $40, everybody should try it.” If you go to MagicJack’s website it even gives you a 30-day FREE Trial, 100% Risk FREE! You can also buy a MagicJack at electronic stores such as RadioShack and Best Buy for about $45. You pay nothing for a whole year; however, an annual renewal fee will be due one year after you first register you MagicJack. A friendly e-mail reminder will be sent to the registered e-mail when your renewal fee is due.

I can say from personal experience that MagicJack really does work. I can make local and long distance calls without getting disconnected. All I can say is that people should try it!
