I wish to retain my local phone service and use MagicJack only to make long distance calls.
Would I insert MJ for long distance and then just remove it to revert back to normal service? Does removal create any software issues or computer glitches?

You could leave the telephone that you currently use plugged in to the existing jack for normal use. When you want to make a long distance call, plug the MJ into your computer and then unplug your telephone from its existing jack and plug it into the MJ. Make your long distance call, then plug your phone back into the phone company jack. Unplug the MJ from the computer and put it aside until the next time you want to use it.

This is way too cumbersome! If you had a Dollartree chain store in your neighborhood, I go there and pick up a Chinese made corded phone for $1 and plug it into your MJ adapter to use.

I bought a cheap phone at Walgreen's that didn't work well at all with MJ. Outgoing was fine, but on inbound calls the phone would only ring for 1 second and then cut off the caller.
