Once I saw a couple positive reviews I took a harder look at it and went that route. Immediate gratification from Best Buy had a little to do with it, too.

ObiTalk looks promising too, just a step up in complexity since you have a device, then you choose a VoIP provider. Not bad, just another step.

So for the record:

https://www.magicjack.com/ (Available at Best Buy)
https://www.obitalk.com/ (Needs a VoIP provider, like Google Voice)
https://www.ooma.com/ (a bit more expensive, but more features - figure out if you need them)

I will say that looking at MagicJack reviews, good luck if you need technical support.
For Ooma, good luck if you try and cancel. Sounds like most people have to contact their bank and block the charge in order to stop them from withdrawing fees.
