I bought a MagicJack when I moved here to Japan, and it's been outstanding. Crystal-clear voice quality with only the very slightest latency (only barely noticeable, if at all). I do sometimes experience the echo, but only intermittently, and for brief periods. Best of all, it's $20/yr for unlimited use. There's not a chance that I could ever get that kind of price (let alone the call quality) for that cheap anywhere else. I have a standard telephone hooked up to my computer, and it serves as a regular home phone that anyone in the US can call me on as if calling their next-door neighbor. Plus, when I'm traveling, I can plug the MagicJack into my laptop, and make/receive calls (on my standard phone number) using a Wi-Fi connection and the microphone/speakers in my laptop. Convenient? Extremely.
If you can't tell, I'm sold. I'll be keeping this service for years, because it's cheap, high quality, and phenomenally useful.
