Cable, internet, and phone service

My parents got one of those Magic Jack Plus things. They kept their home phone number, it plugs into the router so it does not interfere with the computer. They seem to be really happy wiht it for $19/year.

I have a cell phone so its not a necessity for me.

I recently upgraded my Roku boxes to a couple more current ones. Have a few 1st gen boxes available. (1) XD and (2) XD|S with all the fitments (I "think" I still have the boxes too). One of the Roku's has a quirky remote in that the springs need tweaked a bit now and again to line up with teh battery.

Asking 50% retail plus shipping. PM if interested.

We tried the magic jack a couple years ago.

When I plugged it in to the computer I got all excited when I heard the dial tone.

Made a few short phone calls and I was sold.

3 days later it was repackaged and sent back to Magic jack because it was unreliable for business purposes. Calls would go in and out at least once an hour or so and there was occasionally no dialtone.

This would be a good option if you need a cheap line to talk to friends and family members but looks bad if you use it to speak with customers on a regular basis.

If it's free, it's for me! Take a look at the YouTube reviews.
