Ymax Corporation, the company that is known for providing the cheapest phone service in the world has once again come up with a super product that is sure to be a big hit. This new product is being called the femtoJack and is expected to be widely available to consumers in roughly 6 months time.

Like is predecessor, the magicJack, the femtoJack allows its users to get unlimited local and long distance calling to anywhere in the United States or Canada for one low fee of $20 per year. In order to get the device and one year of service it will initially cost about $40 with the $20 per year cost being for any subsequent years of service. The femtoJack and magicJack are also similar in that they are both small USB devices that are designed for extremely simple ‘plug and play’ use and they both use magicJack VoIP network for calls.

Despite the startling similarities there is one major difference between the magicJack and femtoJack that makes the femtoJack an ‘out of this world’ product. The difference is that instead of working by way of traditional phone (like the magicJack) the femtoJack is designed to work with any cell phone that employs GSM technology (that means any AT&T or T-Mobile phone). What this means to users is that when you are at home you can make unlimited calls through your cell phone without having to use any of your precious plan minutes. While in range of your femtoJack all calls are routed through it and onto magicJack’s VoIP network.

The femtoJack doesn’t employ a new type of technology that hasn’t been seen yet but rather uses femtocell technology which has been around for a short while now. What happens is the femto Jack makes its own small cell network that is only large enough for ones house. Then when you make a call, instead of going through a cell network, the femtoJack will pick up the call and route it over a VoIP network. The result, as stated before, is unlimited minutes for $20 a year while in range of the femtoJack.

Despite femtocells being around for sometime now the femtoJack is the first one that I have seen that truly makes sense. There are other ones out there but they are way to expensive for both the device and the monthly usage fee. I am so excited for the release of the femtoJack and can’t wait. It’s release could finally cause the slowly dying traditional land line phone to go away all together. Something that I see as long overdue.

What do you think about the femtoJack? Are you excited? Would you be willing to give it a try?
