I need an inexpensive internet service and would like to order a Magic Jack device. Any good advice?

Jen: I need an inexpensive internet service and would like to order a Magic Jack device. Any good advice?
I recently got rid of Optimum online triple play service because my bills were a little too much. I no longer have Internet, phone, or cable. Sucks right? Anyway, I heard about Magic Jack and wanted to know of any inexpensive internet providers (I just want internet service) that this device would work well on. Any advice would be great. I live in Brooklyn, NY. Thanks!

Without a phone line your only option is to get cable internet. Just call up your local cable companies and see who has the best deal for just internet. Good luck!

Answer by Rescuer
I have just the internet thru Cable, is $ 24.95 in our area for broadband. Lots of people have had problems with MagicJack phone service, you might want to go to this site & look at the reviews. They scared me away with it.

I know T-Mobile cell phone has a $ 10/mo charge for Voip over your internet connection when you have at least a $ 39.95/mo plan with them, that’s what I plan on doing when my current contract runs out.

I think I know exactly what you want and it can be at a low price too.

I suggest looking into getting DSL with what is called a “naked loop” (or dry loop). Read this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_DSL

I should mention I wouldn’t advise anyone to cancel their regular land line until you are confident you want to use a Magic Jack instead. It’s best to give it a couple of months to be sure that is what you want.

Getting back to naked loop DSL, find out if this is available from a local phone company or not. Based on where you are, it should be. Not all of the telco sales people will know that is a service they even offer! You may have to ask to speak to a supervisor. Obviously, they want to provide you with their own much higher priced long distance. If you have a Magic Jack and it works well, you can use that instead and/or change it so you only get local area phone service from them.

To learn more about the Magic Jack, check out the below web site.

There’s LOTS of good info there if you take the time to check it out. You can now find a valid discount coupon (promo) codes to save 10% ($ 4.00 Off!), check area codes available or preview the install process.

Good Luck!

idk if there is time warner cable company in brroklyn i wouldnt doubt it but, i just recieved my magic jack today and set it up. time warner cable i think is only 14.95 for the first 12 months im not sure. and if anyone has any problems hooking up the magic jack to work for the other outlets in your house, i have two options for you.

1. you can purchase a phone from sam’s club or costco for pretty low prices which can come with four other reciever phones. it may only cost you 100 dollars. you can hook up the main phone in to your magic jack and simply plug the others into a regualr electrical outlet. put the sallelite phones in other rooms around your houses and there you go.

2. another option which i just did right now was to hook my magic jack up with a long phone line to my house’s main phone jack. since my house’s main jack has two ports, i used one to connect to the magic jack and the other port had a thing attached to it, i dont no its name it basically allows to to plug to lines into one port. in these two ports i have two different lines which one is for upstairs in the house and one i downstairs i guess. then i just plugged in my phones normally and bam it worked.

i know the tips i gave dont help with your current crisis but if u get internet and the magic jack, i hope this solves your problems =].
