Yeah, but my cell phone doesn't work very well from my "desk" in the basement of my house. I also don't like carrying it around. It's bulky in my pants pocket; it's bulky affixed to my belt with a clip. No matter how I carry it, it results in bruises or scratches from the keys in my pocket. So I really only carry my cell phone when I'm out of the house. Magic Jack doesn't interfere with my use of the computer. If I'm at my "desk" my computer is on 99.9999% of the time. . . . Walking to a better spot with my cell phone isn't really a good option, because most of the calls I make involve taking notes and looking up information, best done at my "desk" and often using the computer anyway. At less than $20 per year, the cost of Magic Jack is very low in the noise of my finances.
