handset through internal house wiring
I ordered 2 years of MagicJack yesterday for $59.90.
Yes, MJ does work through the internal wiring of the house. First disconnect that line and tape the wires at the box outside of the house, so the current doesn't fry your equipment.
Yes, you can use your handset to make calls from any phonejack in the house, with your internal wiring. You would only use the softphone and see any ads on their software, when dialing from the computer screen. But you don't have to do that.
The main negative for me is that MJ doesn't yet work with Linux, which I am using 100 percent of the time. So every time I want to make a LD call, I have to reboot the computer to windows.  That's a hassle but I don't make that many LD calls so I have ordered it anyway.
In the meantime I also got a GrandCentral number in San Antonio, so my mom can call me for free.  |
