Great video! To clarify many questions regarding WiFi: If not plugged into your computer, you don't need WiFi, but you do need an Ethernet port (RJ45). Magicjack does not use WiFi, but most WiFi routers have a few RJ45 ports on the back. If you are in senior living, or a motel room, all you need is an Ethernet port (RJ45) and a place to plug in the power adapter. The Ethernet port (RJ45) looks a lot like the old phone jacks (RJ11), but wider to make room for more connectors.

We just installed one for my mom and she is so happy with it. She doesn’t have to remember where her cell phone is or anything like that so it is definitely worth it so she doesn’t miss any calls now.

Nice job explaining everything so clearly!
-
This video is super helpful! Thank you for taking the time to create and post it. 🙂
-
Great video, very informative. Thanks!

It's simply a VoIP ATA, or Analog Telephone Adapter. Others exist on the market. This one just has its own VoIP service to compliment it and sell it as a nice bundled product. Nothing wrong with that at all, quite good actually, but there are alternative devices out there depending on people's needs. Depending on what you get, and/or with some modifications, it's possible to get rotary dial phones working on VoIP.

Cool. Thoroughly stated and simplely described with detail
-
thank You sir for the clear explanation and set up of this device, will get one soon : ) Peace
-
Thanks good video . My first MJ I even used it on a lite internet when my carrier offered it. Then they switched to the regular service for the same price. I never had any issues with my MJ even on the lite internet service. 73

If you're worried about cost, check your Internet connection. You might already have home phone included. That's the case here, where my home phone is included in my Internet and TV bundle from the cable company. As for power, traditional PSTN is dying, so that will be a concern, no matter how you get your home phone. You can use a UPS to keep your end of the connection up. BTW, I'm 70 and have no problems dealing with tech.

The way to prevent loss of phone service during a power outage is to use an uninterrupted power supply to power the router, modem and magic jack or other voip phone system. It can keep the phone working for several hours depending on the size of the UPS.

Thank you! I am pretty good with technology but I would have really struggled with the usability of this company's tech if not for your video!
-
I've watched your video and this is GREAT!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Does MagicJack work with a fax machine, in sending faxes please? I watched you set this up...is there a monthly/yearly fee with MagicJack? Which plan/price would be best for a 2-person family? Thank you again!!!!!

Would it work on a android TV Box ? I have AT&T DSL.

How to fix error 1 and get installed with existing home phone service?

I have had majicJack for many years. I did have to use Windows to set it up. I run it on the router. Now that I only use Linux, someday this setup will fail and I won't replace it. However, it seems to want to run forever. I set it up to replace a DSL phone LOL.

I've had issues using the MJ with my HP /printer/fax machine. It's been a couple of years that I tried the MJ again, but when I got a newer HP all-in-one printer is when I had the issues. I was told by MJ that it did not work with analog printers. Any thoughts. I really want to port my LL (it's a bus #) to the MJ, but I need the fax capability. Can you help? By the way you're very clear with your instructions! Any suggestions to use the MJ for a fax line? Thanks.

I don't understand how we would set this up if not using the computer. Also, how many devices can we connect? I have six corded and cordless phones throughout my house. They are necessary to ensure calls are picked up. The corded phones provide back-up in case the cordless ones are not in their place because people didn't put them back.
