I know quite a few folks have been trying to figure out where’s the business plan in MagicJack and more so where’s the revenue stream coming from. While none of the reviews mentioned anything sinister the phrase Caveat Emptor (buyer beware) might certainly apply.

Cheers!

“You also understand and agree that use of the magicJack device and Software will include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for the magicJack device to work … Our computers may analyze the phone numbers you call in order to improve the relevance of the ads” Source: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/04/14/magicjacks-eula-says.html

I mean, I would not want those “advertisements” on my computer at all. Who knows what information they could be collecting.
