netTALK DUO WiFi, so far so good
Last week I wrote about the MagicJack and the poor experience that I had with it. While researching a way online to get it to work I found a competitor called netTALK. I sent back the MagicJack and ordered the netTALK DUO WiFi.
Unlike the MagicJack the netTALK setup was a breeze. The box arrived yesterday, I registered and then…
- I plugged it in to my computer and it worked
- I plugged it in to my network and it worked
- I downloaded their wireless networking software, plugged it back into my computer, set the wireless settings and it worked
There was one small bug. After I registered, the link to the setup instructions was broken. I called, got a live person right away and he gave me a new link that worked fine. He said he would make sure the link got fixed.
I was going to wait and test the netTALK DUO WiFi out for a while before I ported my home phone number to it, but since it worked so well and the sound quality was excellent (even on WiFi), I did it right away, without any problems and unlike MagicJack, porting was free (for a limited time at least) and very easy to do.
I put the box away until my number ports. They say it takes eight days, but can’t happen on a weekend or holiday.
I’ll follow up on this again the day after Memorial Day when it’s due to port, but so far NetTalk looks like an excellent product.
That looks great. I am interested how it becomes a “duo” though. But being wireless and all, seems like a very good deal. It would be great to have my phone number wireless too. Thanks for sharing!
