Is There a Magic Jack For Your Car?
A magic jack connects the internet and your phone via a USB port on your computer and the phone jack for your home phone. Magic jack provides a $20 per year fixed charge for calls made from your home phone to any other phone in the U.S. In 2010, Ymax, the makers of Magic Jack, announced that it had plans to develop a Magic Jack for cell phones. This would work by allowing the cell phone user to use any wireless internet connection to make calls without interfering with their own minutes thus allowing them to save money. With these developments it is only a matter of time before the Magic Jack is available for your car.
Can the magic jack work in a car?
With technology today and hands free Bluetooth technology coming standard in almost every new car, it would be excellent to have your very own car phone at a standard yearly rate. There are no Magic Jacks available for your car but the idea would be excellent. If the Magic Jack were available for cars, those cars would have to have a wireless router, the wireless router would be connected to the Magic Jack which would be synced with the cell phone to make calls at the fixed $20 per year rate. The idea seems simple but it is in fact a bit complicated as the wireless connection would have to be constant in the car to make calls via the Magic Jack. Due to the nature of wireless connection, it would require that the car is stationary during a call as the connection could be dropped if the car is in motion. This would defeat the purpose of convenience and would be too much of a hassle for the consumer.
The Magic Jack in its normal capacity of working with home phones has been reviewed by some customers to be unreliable as connections are sometimes unavailable. As of now, the Magic Jack has not been developed for use with cell phones as the idea, although simple, is seemingly a bit complicated to execute. For car owners to expect that the Magic Jack will be coming to them soon would be a stretch. The inaccessibility to wireless connections in a moving car will greatly inconvenience the driver and disallow them to make calls on this service when the car is in motion.
