A good friend of mine has gone to The Netherlands for the summer. He took along a “Magic Jack” which he said he could use to make phone calls from his computer for free. Well, he just called me from his apartment, and the connection was very static-y and he kept cutting in and out. I was quite surprised that the reception was so poor! I just went onto the Magic Jack website to see what their claims are regarding phone call clarity, and it seems as if they are only claiming to give good reception in the US and Canada. So I guess getting any kind of reception in from The Netherlands is pretty good!
