This is made clear in the user agreement which is on the site. Everyone
should read user agreements before installing any software on one's
computer. This should be done before every program. The quote is below.
"magicJack reserves the right, but will have no obligation, to investigate
your use of the magicJack device in order (a) to determine whether a
violation of the Agreement has occurred or (b) to comply with any applicable
law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. magicJack reserves
the right to block calls to numbers that abuse its services such as, but not
limited to, traffic stimulation numbers. If magicJack sees excessive use,
including but not limited to, a customer whose usage is twenty (20) times
more than the average magicJack's customer's usage, or a customer who calls
more than 50 different telephone numbers per day, or systematic or
intentional misuse, it reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to
terminate your use of the magicJack device and/or Software immediately, and
you will not be entitled to get a refund of any licensing fee or any other
fee you may have paid to us." Whatever is installed can't be as bad as the
old gator program so many use to get without their knowledge. I got Gator
myself, and add aware removed that piece of nasty from my computer more than
once I will tell you. The question I have for you is this: If this is the
case and one or two spyware protection programs are run wouldn't that take
care of any harmful issues which might arise from the use of magic jack? If
the logs of the spy ware removal programs are reviewed and they say no spy
ware is detected and if magic jack is plugged in and running at the time,
how harmful can the so-called spy ware be? The Magic Jack company has to
protect itself against abuse of it's product. How else can they do this if
they don't somehow keep track of whether this is done? I think a
differentiation should be made between harmful spy ware which seeks to gain
sensitive data one might have stored on one's computer such as passwords and
credit card information, and that put on a computer to protect a companies
interest. To many people are afraid of the words spy ware.

And one thing I'll bring up here is that MJ will put spyware on your
computer. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from using it, but just
wanted to make you MJ users aware of this. I don't use it anymore cause
our Phone/ISP company had a good deal on long distance last year, so we
quit using it. Plus I use my wife's cell phone if needed.

I don't have a land line, and will never have a land line again. I use
Magic Jack exclusively. I pay 20 dollars annually for Magic Jack, and 20
dollars monthly for broad band DSL service. I love Magic Jack. For it's
cost one can't beat the value. though there will be those who will
disagree
surely.

hello mark
i have an internet calls provider
they are called Vonage
and it costs me £7.99 a month
for this i get unlimited talk time in the UK with no need to hang up
within
an hour and redial.
i also get 33 hours worth of talk time to 35 European countries a month
and no bill statements as it is all taken care of online.
i get an email once a month to tell me the transaction was successfully
carried out and that the amount for the month left my card.
here in the UK we have features like call waiting, 1471, anonymous call
rejection voice mail and a few other that i cant think of right now.
BT charge each month for these but with Vonage they come as standard with
no
charge to use them
the only thing i would pay for is the diversion part if i have my calls
diverted to another number.
Yvonne

Hi
I bought Magic Jack and have mixed results. Most of the time it
works
great. However, occasionally there is a delay between what one says and
what
the other person hears. Then if one is having a long conversation such as
I
do with my girlfriend, it will eventually take a syllable that she says
and
keep repeating it to me. On her end there is a clicking noise and it hangs
up on her. All though this is annoying I have had relatively good success
with the magic jack.
God bless,
Mark

Hi;
Does anyone use Magic Jack with Jaws as their phone service? If so how
well
does it work?

I am completely unfamiliar with these programs but if I was in your
position
I would look for an option to "display scanner driver" or display scanner
properties" in this program's settings. If this succeeds then the
scanner
driver will appear before the scanning takes place and you can ensure that
duplex is set before the scan results are sent back to your OCR program.
I
cannot guarantee that this will work but it works with other OCR programs
like Microsoft document Scanning to deliver duplex scanning. You could
try
Microsoft Document scanning anyway with your scanner as the OCR is
excellent.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] How to Move to new scanning program
Hi
I am having troubles getting my vista home addition to switch to new
scanning/OCR software. I was using read iris 11 and decided to upgrade to
read iris 12. Some how in the process the computer decided that I only
want
to use the OCR software in single sided scans. I have a scanner that scans
both sides of the paper at a time. I can do a double sided scan using the
software that came with the scanner but the OCR is terrible.
So, I decided to switch to Text Cloner Pro. The problem is that it
is
only scanning one side of the page at a time also. It gives me a message
saying that it cannot find a particular read iris file. I removed read
Iris
and so I wonder why it is looking for this file? How do I get Text cloner
pro to figure out that it can scan in double sided mode?
I appreciate any ideas.
God bless,
Mark
