Are you a magicJack or Ooma phone user? Satisfied or no?

I'd like to check in with consumers who have dropped their landline and replaced it with another system other than a cell phone.

April 27, 2010 at 7:14PM

Twenty percent of Americans have permanently dropped landline phone service. Most of them are using their cell phone instead. But I'm curious about those of you who have tried some of the VoIP services such as magicJack, Ooma or others.

The advantage of VoIP is being able to drop the monthly bill from Qwest or other provider, but if you use Ooma or magicJack or others such as Skype with an iPod Touch, do you like it?

Let me know. Email me at jewoldt@startribune.com or call 612-673-7633 or respond to the blog.
