I bought one after reading a story in the Washington Post last fall. I agree, it sounds too good to be true, and in my case it was. The problem: PCs only, it won't work on a Mac. Nowhere on their website do they even hint at this compatibility issue. It is one of those deals where you have to get their permission to send something back first, and get some kind of code. If you just return it without the code, it will be refused and you will get it back.

The only good news, for me, was that I got the code for a return (which was very time-consuming), returned the Magic Jack within the small window where it was allowed, and received a full refund on my American Express account (IIRC). I hope you have a PC, highseas.
