It’s “Magic Jack” idiot…this is what I’m thinking to myself after I remember finally what it is.

Why do I keep on trying to remember it? It’s because it’s such a steal. I’ve heard of the cheap phone call solution for a while now. It’s $19.95 a year or at least that’s what I’ve seen advertised. I just visited the cheap phone call website and they’re even offering it for free – rather a free trial right now. The date said by today (Feb 20, 2011). I think it might be programmed where it takes the date from your computer and says today is the last day; kind of savvy, don’t you think?

Anyway, regardless if it’s free or if it’s $19.95 for:

• free directory assistance
• free phone number
• free call waiting
• free voicemail
• and free caller id

for a full year, I would say that’s a steal!  I’ve been doing everything I can to reduce my telecommunication expenses here in the  past few years because Read the rest of this entry »

So, it looks like Google’s extending their offering of their phone service for another year. I thought they were done with it this past December when I believe there was a message that said “one more month of free calling to anywhere in the U.S.” or something like that using Google phone. Who knows the exact reasoning and I don’t have enough time to think about it, but hey, why not take advantage of it? I just tried it out last night calling from Seattle to my friend in Hawaii and we talked for literally 3 hours for free! I didn’t do it because I needed minutes, but I just didn’t want to a) worry about more possibility of brain cancer sticking my phone next to my head and b) could use the headset very comfortably and talk to him and his wife with ease. It was great!

If you haven’t used it before, basically log into your gmail account. Create a gmail account if you haven’t done that already. (There should be some cool affiliate gmail account program out there, but again, I don’t have time to take advantage of it right now. Ha, ha…) After logging in, look to your left hand side where there’s usually lots of features like your email folders and your contacts and tasks (all of this is customizable, btw. check out google’s blog on gmail.)

Just saw this beautiful residential phone alternative called Ooma Telo at at Costco.  They’re selling it for $169.99 from what I remember, but that’s not bad if residential phone calls are truly free.  Give it a try and comment here!
