Hi,

Is anyone familiar with this VOIP service? It's supposedly US$20 per year.

Does anyone know if it works in the DR? Their FAQs don't cover international.

I know Skype sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't on the North Coast.

Thanks for your input.

We too live on the North Coast (POP). We call the kids, in Colorado, Milwaukee, Virginia, North Carolina and England. Yea lots of kids, we tried to leave them where we had them but they seem to find us no matter where we go. We use Skype and because it is free, we also use a webcam to see the grandkids, and just for that it is GREAT. We have a lot of dropped calls from Skype to Skype but no dropped calls when we call Skype to a landline. If magicjack provides better video and better voice and is serviced in the Dominican Republic, please let us know. thanks Phil & Geraldine

I have Magicjack and it works pretty good. BUT you have to have a US address for it. You cannot get one here...$60 for first year and then $20 a year.
You can call from anywhere there is DSL to the US or CAnada and visa versa...
