Re: Here we go again

No sboe! This is just information About MagicJack posted before that got deleted. VoIP Threads always get deleted and bashed by other users on this Forum. For some of us VoIP is our only choice. Google Talk from computer to computer is the only voice application that work well with Wildblue at this time. I use it all the Time. Its just the Forum will not let there be a thread for those of us interested in VoIP.

There have been lots of threads about VoIP that don't get deleted - only the ones where the guy is pretending to be asking, but is actually selling.

I'm not thrilled about all of the hype about MagicJack, but there is a paid option that doesn't use ads.

As far as a "landline phone" the word "landline" is misleading. A phone is a phone is a phone, and there is no question using an actual phone provides better communication than any speaker/mic combination. You don't have to go with MagicJack to get that, however. I use a D-Link USB-to-phone connector with a 5.8GHz cordless phone using Skype; just one of many possibilities.

sboe,

I am sorry if you misunderstood my intent. The Guy I was referring to was MagicJack (the marketer). He is marketing cheap VoIP in exchange for the ability to flood your computer with advertising. I am trying to warn you not to become his next victim. The VoIP threads never stay around on this Forum long enough for anyone to post their experiences with the MagicJack post advertising.

dbirdman you are missing the point! The MagicJack creates a Back door into the computer it is plugged into! With a back door the computer can be compromised with a “not_wildblue_file” which can contain scripts to regulate the advanced setting on the computers NIC. Also using the clock on the computer one can turn on the script at 4:00 PM and off at 12:00 AM thus regulating the speed of the computer s connection. This is simple script kiddy stuff. How can an Internet Service Provider defended against attacks caused by the stupidity of it users? Dang they left the door open and let them in.
