He might be confused.
The only requirement for Magic Jack is a high speed connection. They do not mandate a speed

Yes. Unless you want to keep paying TW.lonecoxxman said:I just switched from Verizon DSL to Time Warner cable. I now get better quality for a lower price and cable TV which I didn't have with Verizon. But if I went with this Magic Jack, unless I'm missing something, in order to save any money I would have to redo my plan with Time Warner to lower cost by excluding their phone service in the revised plan. Would someone please comment on this?
The plan TWC offers without the phone is around 100 a month. This includes digital cable with one box, no premimums such as HBO or alike and includes the internet. That is the plan I am on.lonecoxxman said:I just switched from Verizon DSL to Time Warner cable. I now get better quality for a lower price and cable TV which I didn't have with Verizon.

I usually phone people. Albeit, I don't use my Magic Jack as a substitute for a phone, period. I use my mobile for local calls and I call long distance with my Magic Jack. They do not get charged for incoming calls. At least none of the 2-dozen or so people I have called have been charged for this.HAMSTER INSPECTOR said:If you have an American telphone number, how do you recieve phone calls?

The short answer is yes.HAMSTER INSPECTOR said:If you have an American telephone number, how do you receive phone calls? Do people have to call you long distance in the same city?
Thanks for the responses, papa and hunter. This is a one year special I have and it costs me around 80 a month. The cable, however, is very basic, only 22 stations reflecting the fact that I hardly ever watch TV. I really like the free long distance USA and Canada.papasmerf said:The plan TWC offers without the phone is around 100 a month.
