I have used magic Jack which worked well
I believe the only major drawback to it is that you have to leave your computer on all the time so you end up spending a bit on electricity. With ooma, it's a separate device. I guess mine is about 7 years old at this point so I guess it's been pretty reliable.
Also in terms of voice quality, part of that depends on your internet connection. I used to have dsl which had slower speeds of 7 megs down and between 500k to 1 meg up. Now with a cable modem, I'm at 250 megs download and 12 megs upload. Voice quality was sometimes shaky with dsl, it's been fine with the cable modem.
That was the old magicJack New one has an Ethernet port and usb power adapter
