Actually the new MajicJacks the only time you need to plug it into your computer is when you first set it up. After the initial setup you can plug it directly into the router. Major upgrade you don' t have to have the computer running all the time.

Ours is hooked to a base phone with four wireless units. Works great. There is an occasional dropped call, but not much. Instead of paying $40 a month for a phone bill, I know pay $40 a year (includes $20 of porting my number over). We are on our second year with MajicJack and will not switch back to a phone company.
