I have herd from another ham friend that has been using the Majic Jack that
the devise will go to sleep after 24hrs os no use. This will present a major
issue if you need to use the devise in an emergency. I have also herd from
the tech support from Majic Jack they are going to release an update to cure
this problem. Also they are working a Linux version firmware/software to
allow the devise to work with Linux boxes. My first intention was to hook it
up using my embeded node at the hill top and get a bit of bandwidth from
it????

Maybe I'm in the minority, but my experience with Magicjack has not been
good.
Echoes or stutters. I've checked and adjusted my PC for optimum
performance. Quality
checks with recommended servers yields good results but 75% of the time I
get echoes
that vary from minor to severe.

I can call anyone in the USA and Canada with my Magic Jack. I am assuming it
works the same way from Canada. Check out their web site to be sure. You
must have a reliable high speed internet connection for it to work good. I
have dumped my $51 a month landline and now use MJ as my home phone. I live
on a mountain and our repeater is located here. For $1.66 a month for
unlimited local and long distance it is hard to beat.

Thanks for all the fast replies. The only hitch in my idea is
finding a voip or voice client for the blackberry that is not
designed to make cheapy phone calls, but that can work like a walkie
talkie, either full duplex or half duplex.
Any one know of a blackberry app that can work like that? Skype for
the blackberry has to work thru a desktop like a remote.
Thanks
