Recent product demonstration during the CES (Consumers Electronic Show), Magic Jack able to place a call from many visitors phone carrying T-mobile and AT&T networks, within 3000-square foot range from the source. The tiny gadget connects successfully to any phone with GSM standard compatibility, but unfortunately, not phones from Sprint or even the young company called Verizon Wireless.

Watch out phone companies!

Is it legal?

What do you think? People love free stuff, and this should be legal. YEAH! The company CEO testified that this device is legal as it is only for home use, which does not included in the wireless spectrum licenses.

How does it works?

This gadget does not necessarily be totally free, unless you are staying in free internet or WiFi territory. It uses radio frequencies, which the cellphone companies are using and paying for millions. It works like a small signal tower, in your house, that place calls for you without going through your phone carrier’s networks. Just plug your Magic Jack thingy into a PC, with a working broadband Internet connection. The device then detects when a compatible cell phone comes within 8 feet, and places a call to it. The user enters a short code on the phone. The phone is then linked to the magicJack, and as long as it’s within range. Sweet!

This is how the old MagicJack user interface looks like when connected to your PC or Mac, and you can dial directly from the buttons.

YMax’s magicJack is a much smaller, simpler design compared to other device like ‘femtocells‘, which works similarly, only that it mesh with the carrier’s external network as well as offload capacity from carrier’s signal towers. And it costs $200 for this femtocell device to be sold, which is 5 times more expensive than the Jack.
