I got my magicjack *spinoff*

I posted a thread about me cutting out the home phone, well I got my magicjack in the mail today and I have to say it works perfectly!

The calls are clear and it's flawless.

Now check this out: I called my local phone company to cancel service and here was their response.

"May we ask, why you are cutting service?" Yes, I got unlimited calling for only $20 a year, "May we ask with whom?" Sure magicjack.

She goes through her records and here's what we come up with:

I currently was paying $80 a month for both phone and internet, so she offers me $40.99 if I keep the same services I have now, which is phone and internet.

Had I disconnected the phone I would have went to paying $45.99 a month + taxes. I was like HECK YEAH I will keep the phone, it's cheaper for me + I am saving.

So instead of paying $80, I am paying about $45 with taxes, saving me $35 a month, had I turned off the phone and only kept internet I would have had to pay $50 a month, so it's like getting home phone for FREE! YAY!

Whoa! I need to check that out! I had wondered if the commercials were real and now I see they are. You did really well!

Wow! That's awesome! Great job! Now what do you do with the majicjack? Do you still use it or what?

**FrugalMomof3** · 06-09-2008, 11:06 PM

Well DH and I agreed that we already paid for it, might as well use it, since he travels for work sometimes, it would benefit him + it also gives us a 2nd line at home.

WOW! I would say you did good, especially getting the phone company to lower the bill to keep you as a customer!

Yep I totally love it, I love the fact I am saving money and getting something for free each and every month

Great job! It is great to get something for free and be able to save on your internet provider also.

It is great to save, when I pay my bill in 2 weeks I will have a $40 credit, which means I dont have to worry about July's bill, so that's a plus too!
