It also looks like Vocaltec, the company that now controls the MagicJack, MagicTalk and Magic Femtocell product lines, is having trouble with their new Femtocell project as well. Vocaltec was looking to create their own product that let cell phones work as a VoIP phone when at home, but the cell phone companies that paid the federal government billions of dollars for those frequencies aren’t willing to let that happen without a fight. And, without an agreement with a cell phone provider to let them use one of their cellular frequencies, they can’t release a viable Femtocell product.

If anyone knows what’s going on with Ymax, Vocaltec, MagicTalk and/or their affiliate programs, post a comment and let us all know.

Another cool thing about MagicJack is that since it’s a SIP service, if you plug the MagicJack box into a computer, anywhere in the world with high speed internet access, you can plug a phone into it, and it will work just like you’re in the states. I can be sitting in McDonalds in Mexico City, using their free WiFi through my laptop, and answering toll free customer service calls from the states for the same 3 cents per minute it would cost me if I were in Washington, Oregon, California, Florida, Texas, New York or Timbuktu.
