MagicJack, also known as magicJack, is a service that allows people in the United States and Canada to make phone calls over the Internet. This type of phone service is called Internet-based telephone service (VoIP).

Originally, MagicJack required a computer to work. Users connected a small device to their computer, and with an internet connection, they could make calls. In 2011, MagicJack introduced a new model called MagicJack Plus that does not need a computer, though users still need an Internet connection.

The MagicJack device works with a specific phone service provider, YMAX Corporation, which also offers local phone services. Voicemail is saved on MagicJack's servers and can be accessed directly by phone or received via email with audio files. Users can also download updates for the MagicJack device from third-party software providers.
