The popular Internet phone gadget,
magicJack is set to launch
magicTalk, a new service which allows you to
make free calls from your computers, smart phones and iPads to landline and cellphones in the
US and Canada, with
no time limits on the calls, and users would only get charged if they try to make a call while outside the U.S. and Canada
magicJack is known for its USB based VOIP hardware. Unlike magicJack,
magicTalk software will be purely software based service which works on Windows and Mac operating systems and will be available next week. There will also be versions for smart phones and tablets including Android, BlackBerry, iPhone and iPad etc, which will likely be out sometime in September or October.
Though users cannot make
free international calls, Magic Talk can still be considered revolutionary and next generation technology since they do not have any restriction to call any phone within US & Canada. MagicTalk would stand apart from competitors like
Skype, which charges users to make calls to phone numbers, and
Google Voice, which requires users to make calls from their own phones.
Each magicTalk user gets a phone number associated with the software...
