A few examples:

Want to use a headset with this device ?  Well it’s as easy as… Magic! (Top hats and rabbits are optional)  You have a couple of different ways that you can connect a headset when using MagicJack.  You can of course get a headset that will work with the phone that you are using with the device, or if you don’t want to use a regular telephone at all, you can get any headset that will plug into your computer because MagicJack also has…  (wait for it…)  TADA.  A softphone!  Now on a serious note, one thing that you may want to keep in mind when considering these “over the internet phone devices” is that some of them do not have to offer 911 services.  Just something that you may want to verify for your area if you are thinking of getting one of these devices.  Or, just be sure to have a “911 backup”.

So if you’re looking for an alternative to SKYPE or Vonage, MagicJack just may do the trick!    

The Savi wireless office systems are the next link in the evolutionary chain of Plantronics’ wireless headset systems.  Years in the making, these beauties are about to make their debut.  The Savi Office Systems will work with most single & multi-line phones, but it will also work on your computer with SKYPE or whatever other software you may have.  And it’s all integrated into the base of the system, no extra devices needed !  How cool is that ?  There are currently two models offered, the Savi WO100 and the Savi WO200.  The WO100 is the convertible model which gives you the option to wear it over the head or over the ear, you just snap on whichever attachment you’d like.  The WO100 headset looks just like the Calisto Pro headset, except it offers the convertible option.  The Savi WO200 is the over the ear model which loops over your ear and has an earbud that goes in the ear, which resembles the CS70N headset. 

And can you say “Holy distance Batman” !  The Savi Office systems have an extended range of up to 350ft, while still using the same rock solid 64 bit encrypted DECT 6.0 technology to keep your calls secure.  You can also easily pair up to four of the Savi headsets to one base unit for conference calls, you can even conference between your landline phone and your softphone.  As more and more individuals as well as companies are starting to venture out and use programs like SKYPE and other Unified Communications software to be totally connected, and to simply save money every month on their long distance charges, these types of systems are quickly becoming a much needed valuable tool for us to get the job done.  The Savi systems are compatible with the standard HL10 Handset Lifters for remote one-touch answering and can also be used with specific EHS’s (Electronic Hook Switches) for certain phones.  The cutting edge Savi systems are just packed full of so many features, you really have to check them out to see what they can do.  We are always looking for “tools” to help us be more productive and more efficient in the office, and if it can make my workload easier… hey, I’ll take that too.  So any way you slice it, that ain’t bad.  Welcome to the wireless evolution !
