Giving them only the magicJack number allows me to limit the people who have my cell number to family members and a few close friends and trusted business associates. Chief among these are banks, retailers who want my number for their loyalty card and rewards programs, government agencies, and others by whom I don’t care to be bothered. I’ve been using magicJack for years as a “land-line” number to give to people and businesses who demand a phone number, but to whom I don’t want to give my mobile phone number. If you don’t know what magicJack is, it’s an extremely low-cost, self-contained, VoIP ( Voice over Internet Protocol) adapter that, when properly configured over a decent broadband Internet connection, usually provides acceptable-quality voice telephone service. This post is based on a magicJack GO connected to the Ethernet port of a router running DD-WRT firmware. It’s just the way that works best for me. I don’t claim that this is the only way, nor even the best way, to optimize magicJack’s performance. Let me begin by saying that this article is not so much a “how-to” as a “how I did” post.
