Move over magicjack and hello googlevoice.
I have been using this gadget for over a month and its working perfectly.
Its a lot complicated to configure than your magicjack but ones its working, it works like a perfect fixed phone (free).
Do research on gizmo5+pap2+google voice.
You must have someone in USA to apply for a google voice number on their webpage and then wait for the invitation. You must log in from USA to get the free number of the area code of your choice. Now you can make changes to the account from anywhere in the world later.
Then open up an account with gizmo5 and get their data. Now I had an old linksys pap2-na (vonage type) adapter laying around. I programmed the gizmo5 configuration on it and forwarded the googlevoice number on to it. Now every time someone calls my google atlanta number, my phone connected to linsys voip box rings my cordless phone (connected to it) and I see called ID of the caller and hold a conversation in perfect voice quality. If I want to call someone, I connect to google voice page and click a phone number on my contact list or simply type in the number and click connect. My fixed phone connected to my vonage type voip unit rings (its actually gizmo5) and I talk to the other party.
Now I have a fixed usa phone at home and its only connected to my router. My laptop is off. Perfect for taking incoming calls. Google voice will forward the calls to any usa number you put in (even to your traveling magicjack). Everyone has to know your googlevoice number and this number can forward your calls to any US phone you are using.
Good luck.
