As good as my old Verizon FIOS landline phone

Posted by: kindheartedjohn
The MagicJack Go works as good as my old Verizon fios land line phone. Only if the Magic Jack does not use the home phone house wiring, it's to long and magic jack works best with a short phone cable connected from the magic jack to a electronic cordless phone that has it's own power to ring the phone. Old phones with mechanical brass bells do not work well if at all with magic jack. The brass bells take to much power to ring well and magic jack has very little power output.
I have five cordless Panasonic 6.0 cordless phones working off my answering machine base station. The USB connection to the computer is just to set up magic jack and when it's working use the power transformer that came with Magic Jack to power it.The computer does not have to be on for Magic Jack to work after it's set up and working. Magic Jack connects directly to your modem/router with a short cable.
I had bad luck with Magic Jack Plus. The caller heard echo in my voice. My internet speed is 50 Ms download and 5 Ms upload.
I also had problems not always hearing the caller and I had to instruct them to call back sometimes 3 or 4 time in order to hear them.
I have none of this problems with Magic Jack Go.
The price of the two models are about the same when you factor in the extra 6 months service with the "GO" model, and the "GO" model looks to be a newer design.
The photos shows Magic Jack powered by the transformer plugged into a an ac extension cord and connected to the Magic Jack through a USB connection. A 1 foot internet cable connects the modem/router to the magic jack. and a photo of my base station phone hooked up to the magic jack with the cable that came with the Magic Jack.
