Magic Jack is a device that plugs into one of the USB ports on your computer. One of your telephones plugs into the Magic Jack. While your computer is on, and it is connected to the internet, you can call anywhere in the US and Can, unlimited. It costs $39 for the device and it also includes 1 year of service. Subsequent years cost $19.99.
It depends on which version of the device you have. If you have the regular Magic Jack, then yes, you must keep your computer on to use it. If you are expecting a call, it cannot be off.
