• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Does anyone use the Magic Jack for their home phone ????? My cable, internet and phone provider is ripping us off every month and if I can drop the home phone part and replace it with this Magic Jack thingy, it would save us $50.00 a month.

You can't beat the price of 20.00 a year, but im wondering if anyone has it and wants to share thier experience with it.
it has a lot of problems.they cut you off,sometimes other folks can not call you when they want to.:mad::mad::yikes:
 
yes to all your ?s. $20 month plus taxes for wifi hot spot

Can you run a test and tell us what your bandwidth is on your hotspot? It all sounds like a terrific idea and I am ready to go that way. But I have to have a lot of uninterrupted bandwidth for iRacing.

I use the Magic Jack Plus. Easy install... and it works very well... can't tell the difference.

However, the 19.95 a year price is only if you pay in advance for five years... I didn't want to do that on something relatively new. It's $29.95/year on a year-by-year basis.

Plus, the purchase price includes the first year's service.
 
Odd

I guess I am surprised to see that no one talked about google voice. If you do not need a fax service (though you can get these too), you can just google voice your number. Then the number becomes a digital number that can be forwarded to up to 5 phones to ring in order or at once.

I have a google number that I give out for everything, that way I can get texts, files, calls anywhere. It will ring whatever whenever I like, so it means that I can have a number that having my old # transferred at a 1 time fee of $20 bucks. Then my cell just rings, and google even will forward caller ID, and prompt me telling me its coming from the other number so I can either answer or screen any call. And it has built in voicemail, that transcribes to text / email.

Basically I now pay 100 bucks for cell / internet / phone per month and it gets me whatever I need wherever I want it. (Internet is cell and can travel with me)
