Oh yea, Majic Jack fucking sucks!!! I had one for 3 days and sent it back! Skype FTW! Way better and cheaper. Plus last I knew super smart phones could call out on Skype in a WiFi environment...I can call out on my PSP using Skype and you get to pick what caller id sees when you call.

actually here, magicJack works better than skype. Cost is close to the same.
Calls on skype can be very garbled, magicjack is clear, comparatively.

Really? Well, I have zero problems with Skype, though I don't use it now that I have unlimited minutes. I had Majic Jack and it would just stop working for no reason. I'd get emails for the missed calls and be like WTF? I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in all the time. I do admit however that this was a couple years ago, things may have improved.

I'm just as surprised as you are.. in the last year it was nothing but garbage for me. Hell.. most of the time it didn't even work. Skype has always worked very well, though.

Hmm.. Cutty and Racer X are the only people I know that said anything positive about it besides the price. I mean I know you get what you pay for.. but it's like I was paying for nothing at all.

Yep, hated it completely. Plus you have to leave your computer on 24/7 which is not acceptable to most people. There are tons of Skype phones that will work off your account in ANY WiFi environment. For a while the city was talking about going city wide free WiFi and I had my Skype phone all picked out! Oh well, maybe in the future...
