I wish this were a paid advertisement!!!
So the classic hocker is one who find deals and knows people, or at least says he does. By the way, have you ever noticed that women are never hockers, whats up with that? For one of the first times in my life I feel like the coolest hocker on the block until someone finds me a better deal.
So anyway my roommate has this thing called the Magic Jack, which basically this USB drive with a phone jack at the other end. My roommate has been using it as his primary phone for a number of years and he noticed me moaning about my cell phone bill one day- so he passed the smarts on to me.
So I went to Magic Jack.com and it was $50 for the device which includes the first year service, when you sign up they throw all sorts of deals at you- I took the deal that offered me 2 years of service on top of the first year for $20. So when all was said and done I got the device plus 3 years of unlimited phone service (incoming and outgoing to any phone in the US and Canada) for $70- not bad. Right now the site is offering $90 for the device plus 6 years service- thats today!
I tried it out a couple times already tonight, my dad doesn’t have AT&T so I figured he would be the first to get a call. Upon installation the magic jack lets you choose any area code you would like, I chose a 917 number and in less then 5 minutes it was good to go. The device will install on any computer so you can carry it around with you and hook it in to any computer.
For those of you who have computers with built in microphones you do not actually need the phone- a digital keypad pops up and you can call any phone without the actual phone. My computer is considered antique and does not have a microphone built in so I am using a phone I got for a couple bucks at office depot.
For the record they recommend you not use a portable phone, but I have one and so far no complaints. I was going to just post the number for my phone here and see what happens- but I think thats a little “too” open- but if any random fans would like to chat- shoot me an email (frumsatire@gmail.com) and I’ll give you my new phone number.

Hesh:
Long time reader here, I really HATE the read more feature. PLEASE…PLEASE get rid of it.
Anon I can’t change it, many people have recommended it and it allows me to fit more content on the page- I am sorry but it stays, I knew some people would get mad- but that always happens when you change something- but the most user friendly blogs feature it and it helps in my search engine rankings.
Look on the bright side- you don’t have to scroll forever just to read a different post.
does this mean you’ve ditched your cell, or is this in addition to your cell #?
‘Read more’ is good for me, although I can see why some might not like it. It also allows you to significantly increase your hits.
Sounds great – until Magic Jack goes out of business in a couple years.
Anon: The websites has some pretty solid reviews from every magazine and newspaper known to man- doesn’t matter to me- works very well and I have already saved money.
My roommate has had it for 2 years.
A23 – it actually has no effect on Hits- individual hits are calculated only once per day from each IP address- pageviews however will be raised- but that really doesn’t do anything for me.
It seems like a user friendly thing to me and apparently to all the professional bloggers out there.
be wary of magic jack… reveiews say that the customer service sucks. They have no prone number or address and the only way to get in touch with them is online chat, where they dont or cant do anything for you.
On a side note isnt it funny that jews always brag about how little they spent or what a great deal they got when goyim always brag about how much money they spent……………..
Check out the ooma it’s 249 and thats it for life
But that means your PC has to be on.
I can personally vouch for the crystal-clear voice quality of the Magic Jack. For instance, I heard Hesh perfectly well when he suggested I change my blog name to “Sexy Convert” to get more hits….
magic jack rocks. family and friends of mine have been using it for at least 3 years. One friend even said it works while he is in the caribbean.
