MagicJack Review: Call Quality Update

Analyzing the most recent batch of calls we've made, the faster upload speed from Comcast hasn't seemed to affected call quality. On land line calls, the connections were pretty good with no dropouts. However, on cell phone calls, dropouts were surprisingly frequent, and you had to repeat yourself several times (usually because the other person did not hear what you said).

It should be noted that the cell phone calls were often of much longer duration than the land line calls, so it's hard to tell whether dropouts occurred because of cell-phone connections or the call length. And as a final note, during all my calls this month, I purposely avoided use of the internet to get a "best-case" call-quality scenario.
