Congratulations! ^
I have a USB phone that I use with Skype. This will work with MJ too, I assume?
Nope -- at least, not easily. MagicJack works with regular wired-line phones. If your USB phone shows up in DeviceManager as an audio device, you may be able to configure your audio to use it as the primary sound and recording device, in which case MagicJack can use it (set it to "headset" in the menu). Otherwise, you have to hack the SIP code which requires technical skill way beyond anything I can do.
Thanks go out to PT, and everyone else who has put good info in this thread. The quality with Skype was driving me crazy, especially trying to get voice mails off my normal phone, and checking balances on the phone for my bank.
To get the best quality out of the MagicJack, it's a good idea to turn off QOS on your computer and router and use one of
these (Linksys has a similar product). It will improve any VOIP product (probably Skype, too). I've got one on my home system and it makes a big difference.
