I have 4 wireless phones on the same MJ. But I'm only using one phone jack.

No. I have one of those wireless phone sets with a base unit and 4 others that I distribute through the house. The MagicJack is on the base unit. All the other phones work through that.

No, Magic Jack Plus is new, and it will always say so, it can be used without being plugged in to a computer. This one is the original model, which we use to great satisfaction.

Your question was answered below, now I use one of my bases in a house that does not have a landline and have connected it directly to a Magic Jack Plus that is connected to the internet and to the phone located close to my router, I'm calling everyone for free in US and Canada and only pay the Magic Jack service, I all have my BB and I-Phone connected through blue tooth and have 2 additional extensions plug in the Kitchen and Bed room and can also answer calls placed to my cell phones with any of these 3 extensions I can get too while my cells are charging in another room, works great for me and love the phone(s).

From what I can tell each extended handset base needs to be plugged in for power but not into a wall jack. I hope that helps.

The base unit plugs into an electrical outlet and also plugs into the telephone outlet on your wall. The extra handsets (I have 3) each plug into an electrical outlet. You only need 1 phone jack. (for the base unit) The extra handsets do not need a phone jack (only an electrical plug)

yes, all phones and phone services sold are mandated by law to comply with 911 functionality. If Magic Jack didn't comply, it would be out of business fast.

One unit will regulate the calls for the whole house. Please see my answer, "How to display caller ID on your phones with this device, December 30, 2013" for details on how to hook it up.

No phone jack is needed. This hand set connects with the existing base by wireless connection. It works great.

We've used these phones all over the house and yard without any problems. You do NOT need a second jack for the second phone.

Your computer doesn't have to be on with the Magic Jack Plus. Ihavethe 2014 model. However, if you lose the connection to the internet the phone will not work.

To call out to your cell phone the system will need a landline, magic jack or our GSM Module

This unit is a modem, router, and wifi hotspot. There are rs-232 jacks to plug in your magic jack or other internet based phones.

If it is one of those magic jacks which got an Ethernet and phone connector independently then yeah, no problem.

As well as Magic Jack, LocalPhone is another great option (just add .com to find them). I use it all the time to make calls.

No. "Wall jack" plug on my 3 hand set answering machine goes to X-link. So signal goes from cell phone to X-link to answering machine/handset setup. The cell phone blue tooths to the X-link. The answering machine/handset set up then gets the signal from the X-link. So, three handsets in my house if that makes any sense. I also think you can use X-link to your house wiring and use phones you already have on the wall so to speak. I have a private line and use cable phone for that.

The Magic Jack plugs in to either a USB port on your computer or to a port on the back of a modem/router with a provided adapter. The Magic Jack device does not transmit nor receive a wireless signal. Sure you can use a wireless modem or router to make the Magic Jack device work. But, you will be plugging Magic Jack in to the computer or the modem/router with a hard connection. Does that answer your question?
