Yes, I have designed two different webphones, granted, using third party libraries, and magicjack's quality is better. I acknowledge that. Thank you, but referring me to someone's review won't help me much... I am interested in the internals. Regardless, their technique has a twist, and

[asterisk-users] Recharge Dial Limit....?
