There is also a socket for the phone. 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 <u>year </u>(includes $20 of porting my number over). We are on our second year with MajicJack and will not switch back to a phone company.</div>

If you do, and it is working well for you, please share what you are using.<br>
<br>
I am in a situation right now where this would be beneficial for me.<br>
<br>
Just to clarify, I am *not* looking to set up a PBX/Asterisk or anything<br>
similar, I am just interested in a sole VOIP phone, be it commercial,<br>
open source, etc.<br>
<br>
I have been hitting the search engines on this, and for some odd reason,<br>
the bulk of my searches are coming up with old articles (i.e.<br>
2004-2009). Maybe no one is doing this anymore?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
