Sounds great to me. I like my Vonage though for a couple of reasons I can call a friend in Australia for free. I still have all my old features. The negative is if you lose power you lose your phone since it goes with your cable modem. If Magic Jack works then it's a bargain.

I keep my router and DSL modem connected to a UPS. Last time I lost power it stayed up for over 8 hours until the power was restored. After that, I guess I'll have to use the cell as backup. IMHO, it's a small price to pay for saving over 1k per year. I just hope it continues to work as good as it has.....

That is another con against Magic Jack. You can't call overseas for free. To do so, you would have to buy another MJ and send it to your friend in Australia as only overseas call *into* the US are free.
