To top it off, magicJack users now also have a means of connecting directly to office PBX systems using the industry standard SIP communications protocol. To take advantage of these new "open network" calling possibilities, magicJack users simply need to install the new SIP dialer software plugin "XlitejackPlugin". "XlitejackPlugin" allows magicJack and SIP calls to be placed concurrently from the same regular or cordless phone. The SIP dialer software plugin supports the use of Counterpath Corporation's X-Lite SIP softphone dialer. Almost every phone provider in the world provides setup instructions and support for using the X-Lite SIP softphone dialer with their networks. To place SIP calls, just dial # before the number you want to call. Regular magicJack calls are placed as normal. For incoming calls, just answer the phone when it rings.

Always thought that Gizmo5 would be a valuable addition to google and wondered why goog was not bargaining for it, when skype was going out of it's way. But then smart of google - no bidding war and bargaining. Now, this should be the start of of alarm bells for skype - they should somehow stop their litigating, settle with the inventors and get bigtime into SIP telephony - else mark my words, in 2 years GV/G5 will take over a lot of market share. Google seems to be till now a very benign version of IBM (70s, 80s), Microsoft (90s, 2000s) and giving consumers multiple multiple reasons for a lot of love - let's see how it proceeds! Whoa..
