Are you on AT&T (formerly Bell South)? DSL?

No, cable company. Bright House Networks.

I use Ringcentral and love it...I have never used it with Magic Jack and don't know why you would? You can have both incoming and outgoing from Ring Central I have it set up with 500 incoming minutes split between Toll Free number and local number if I answer local number with call controler on computer I don't use minutes..for outgoing I have unlimited calling..I love it..I can take my laptop with me and plug into highspeed internet at a hotel and my office phone calls still come to me..

Do you use a little headset or something? Thanks for the tip.

Tried Magic Jack - no so good. Plus you need to physically connect an analog phone to your Mac.

So I use RingCentral for incoming. Their outgoing VOIP is awful, I do not use it anymore. Instead, I place all calls using Google Voice and have it ring my cell, Vonage line or landline.

magic jack has been good for me, but I have a high bandwith connection...

My concern with VOIP is that I have the best internet available in my area but it still goes down every once in awhile and it always seems to be in the middle of the day.

With Packet 8 (and maybe others), if this happens (hasn't been too often in my 3+ years with them), it forwards to my cell phone. Haven't missed anything.

If you use Ring Central and you have it forwarded to your land line or cell phone, it doesn't matter if the internet is up or not, it will still forward the #.

How is the quality with ring central and packet 8?

With Vonage, have it set to forward to cell or any number you may select. Never had any problems. Have cable connection and yes, our internet service does go out, but we still get all our calls. Service has been great and have had Vonage or over 4 years.

But... who cares if you can get calls if the cable goes out??? You won't see how Gilligan gets off the island today, almost.
