It uses VOIP and I think that "Magic Jack" is for the US only. You can use Skype anywhere in the world for free or low cost.

Magic Jack works in Mexico and can make calls at least to Canada anyway.

There are alternatives to Skype now - MSN and Google have Skype like systems.

Magic Jack will enable a connections to a telephone without any cost, I think.

Skype charges to connect to a telephone, but computer to computer is free.

I have used Magic Jack at a school I worked for in Chihuahua, why they didn't install Skype I don't know.

I now use Skype.

I have both Skype and Magic Jack.

With Magic Jack, people can call me from the USA and Canada using a normal phone number. It helps out a lot when I have to call the US for things.

I use skype when I am out and about. I have it on my cell phone. I connect to a wireless connection and make calls with skype.

Great inventions!
