Ooma can. MagicJack offers free voice-mail to email. Ooma requires buying the premium package (9.95/month). Ooma will also let you answer your cellphone via your house wired phones (using BlueTooth), but that's also part of the premium package. MagicJack voice quality varies and sometimes experiences echoes. Ooma has better voice quality and no echoes. MagicJack may or may not work with fax machines. Ooma usually works with fax machines.

Okay?

ooma isn't really "free" anymore. They don't charge more for the phone calling services, but most customers WILL pay about 25-30$ a year for taxes and regulatory fees.
