Magicjack is EXPENSIVE, International Calling rates to HCM is .33 a minute. For USA and Canada is is GREAT

No, you misunderstood what I was trying to advise...get a magicjack for your SO in Vietnam, not get a magicjack for your own use in the states...the magicjack connects via the internet so it's free (after annual fee of $20) to call the magicjack number in VN and the magicjack number to call a US number...

The only downfall is it has to be hooked up to a computer (and turned on) to be able to use...If you keep internet on 24/7 like here in the US, you're fine...but in VN it's probably too hot to keep it on 24/7...you'd probably fry/overheat your machine in no time!

Tôi biết nó, thằng nói câu nói đó

Tôi biết nó, đồng bào miền Bắc này biết nó

Việc nó làm, tội nó phạm ra sao

Nó đầu tiên đem râu nó bện vào

Hình xác lão Mao lông lá

Bàn tay Nga đầy băng tuyết giá

Cũng nhoài qua lục địa Trung Hoa

Không phải xoa đầu mà túm tóc nó từ xa

Nó đứng không yên, tất bật, điên đầu

Lúc rụi vào Tàu, lúc rúc vào Nga

Nó gọi Tàu Nga là cha anh nó Và tình nguyện làm con chó nhỏ

Xông xáo giữ nhà gác ngõ cho cha anh

With Skype or Magicjack can you get a detail or your phone records???? Date time phone numbers to and from???? This would be very important for "PROOF"?

I don't think so w/ magicjack...but what I do is I print out my cell phone bill because that does identify incoming/outgoing calls to that number...so there's my fix around that problem...

LOL Yes, it's all about having good evidence. Keep thinking that way and you'll be loaded for bear come interview time.

People think I'm nuts when I tell them about saving anything that shows communication or a joint life.

I gave a MagicJack to Phuong. I only hooked it up briefly here in the US to register a phone number in my area code (not that it matters - calls to any number in the US and Canada are free). I've used it several times while I was in Vietnam. I remember that it kept a limited "call history", but I don't remember how many numbers it keeps (Phuong refuses to use the phone directory, and always dials from the call history page :wacko: ). I don't think it provided an easy way to print the log, but you could screen cap the log periodically and save it, if you wanted.
