Equipped with all of the usual features (such as call waiting, caller ID and more) makes Magic Jack a cost effective plan to use year after year. The only problem is that since it depends on a computer's USB port, folks have to make sure that Magic Jack is upgraded to remain compatible with the latest version of the computer's operating system.
If you are a PC user and have upgraded from the less than stable Windows Vista to Windows 7, here's upgrade Magic to work optimally with Windows 7.

2. Visit the Magic Jack web site and download the Windows 7 upgrade. To find the software upgrade you can either locate it through the FAQ section of the site, or you can use the link as provided in the resources section below.
3. Install the Magic Jack windows seven software upgrade. It only takes a couple of seconds. Do not pull the dongle from the USB port until the Magic Jack software is completely installed.
4. Remove the Magic Jack dongle. You have to take dongle out of the USB port and wait for about 15 seconds. Think of it as a Magic Jack reboot.
5. Plug in the Magic Jack. After 15 seconds plug in the dongle and you're good to go. Test it out by making a few phone calls.
