UNKNOWN, FLORIDA -- I re-uped my MAGICJACK last year for $19.95.This year they wanted $29.95. or 5 years for $99.95. I could not pay the $99.95 so its now A PAPER WIEGHT. I consider this a RIPP-OFF.

So why didn't you pay the $29.95. $29.95 a year for phone service is great if it works.
I pay $27.00 per month for a verizon landline and $72.00 per month for a cellphone.

$20 per year for phone service is an insanely low rate. I pay that almost that much per MONTH.

A little research shows that the rates you quoted are correct. It is either $30/year yearly or you get a discount at $100 for 5 years.

I honestly don't believe this is a "ripoff" - if you have a yearly subscription they can change the rates when you go to resubscribe. It sounds like typical marketing. And consider that $30 per year is 6 times cheaper than what a basic phone line costs, and your long distance is FREE!

I haven't had a 'landline' in yrs so I don't know what a good rate should be but $99.00 for 5 years sounds really, really good, as does $29.99 per year. I don't understand why you think you're being "ripped off" ?

You're still getting a screaming deal at $30 per year. I really doubt if you'll find a better deal elsewhere. Definately not a ripoff IMHO.
