Free Cell Phone Calls from magicJack on the Way?

The company that makes the popular magicJack gadget has released a new version that allows users to make free cell phone calls in their homes. They've just announced it at the Consumers Electronics Show in Las Vegas and the news is taking the blog-o-sphere by storm. The new device is basically a small personal "cell tower" that uses radio frequencies normally reserved for cellular carriers to communicate with a mobile phone in the house. All you need is a broadband internet connection, a PC computer, and a compatible cell phone.

According to the company, when you use the new magicJack your calls are not routed through your mobile carrier's local cell tower, meaning that no minutes/credits are deducted from your account. In the case of international calls, small fees are subtracted from a special magicJack account under your name, not you cellular service account. The product will sell for around $40 and will be available around April or May of 2010.
