I found this on internet "the number of expired MagicJack units alone that can be reused with the calling services from Google Voice by installing the "GVJack" App should already be well in excess of 1 million units." This number is pretty high.

I had an old expired magicJack setting in my desk drawer and just downloaded and tried out GVJACK.
It actually works just like you described. I also set up my Google Voice account to ring my mobile phone at the same time when somebody calls me and that is really cool.
I would say that it is definitely worth checking out.
GVJackApp is not free, it is free 7 days trial after that you have to pay for the GVJackApp service. Also, I don't see why anyone would use this GVJackApp to make calls with paid service. You can simply get Magicjack for $20/year with unlimited calling.

That's definitely not right my friend.
GVJACK uses Google Voice and it is a free calling service (http://voice.google.com) . You only have to buy the GVJACK program one time for $19.95 that lets you use Google Voice free calling service with your phone and gives you more than 20 phone features.
