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.
