Yes, Time Warner has what they call a "life line" program. Though why it is
called that I will never know. As cable service isn't essential for
anyone's living. It gives me the bare minimum of cable service. Which is
24 or so channels. I got it originally, as I didn't want to purchase one of
those converter boxes. I live alone and didn't know how much assistance
would be required with its setting up. I watch very little television. So,
I was glad to save the money. What I am doing now is to pay on my cellular
bill ahead so, if I should ever want to leave the company, Verizon will
either want to negotiate the price of a new phone, or data plan, or will
have to give me a phone without contract, or will have to reimburse me a
hell of a lot of money if I switched cellular companies. After all, they
make those with cellular contracts pay for early termination. Why shouldn't
they have to take a little of their own medicine? I am doing the same with
cable, and my internet provider. So, if I should want to upgrade it won't
cost anything up front. Or, should I need to spend money on other things,
such as my car, I have to get it made safe for e-check, and have new tags
put on it this year, I won't have to pay the companies for a few months
till my equipoise is regained.

I still am satisfied with magic Jack as my sole telephone service save
for my cellular service. I have been so since 08. All I can advise is
that you give it a try. You can always return it before 30 days if you
aren't satisfied. I paid 60 dollars for a five year license. I now only
pay 20 dollars monthly for my internet service, and 10 dollars monthly
for cable service. You can't beat that with a white stick I say.

I am not one to but in, but magicjack is horrible. We had it, and we
are both blind and had no trouble setting it up. The problem comes later
when you can hear people but your upload speed isn't good enough and
other speople say you are breaking up. Expense is certainly a reason to
do it, but we wasted our money. It worked for a month, and then we had
all kinds of problems and had to pay reconnection fees for comcast.

Hello all.
I think I'm finally going to take the plunge and check out Magicjack.
I was just wondering if there will be any accessibility issues with
setting it up?
I am running Jaws 11 with IE8 under Windows XP home.
Any info would be appreciated. I've seen it at a friend's house, but
she had sighted help setting it up and that's sometimes a bit hard to
come by around here.
Thanks.
