Does this device comes with a US landline number and can it be configured out of the US (somewhat like magicjack)
338542
I have bought several of these and none have come pre-configured with a land line. They are very configurable for various VOIP services. We have our own Head end VOIP co-managed service through our local phone provider which makes it easier to get phone extensions since we have a designated block of numbers made available to us. I don't recall the name but there is a VIOP service provider that advertises on TV that appears to be using the same device.

It's just the box/equipment. The advantage of this box is it can be used with several different services. I use PhonePower with it (even though they don't list it as supported, it works fine using the instructions for an earlier model. Other services like Vonage have their own custom box that only works with their service. With this you can choose from several and switch if you don't like one. The service you choose issues you your phone number. There is no reason why it can't be configured outside the US, but it depends on which service you choose. They might require at least a US based address to base the area-code/billing off of. Naturally, 911 services wouldn't really work. It's just the box/equipment.

No, you need a SIP/VoIP account thru a provider such as Broadvox or voip.ms

It works with land lines and VOIP lines, I have it working with Vonage VOIP so I think it will work with Magic Jack which is VOIP based also.

I am sorry, we have a land line so I dont know if it would work without one. It might be worth calling them and asking them. The calls are in the US and answered promptly. I bought this for my husband who at first didnt want it. But once we got it set up, he saw how quickly they responded and how polite and helpful each representative was, my husband quickly changed his mind and was happy to have it. We did 3 test runs at different places in the house and in the yard and each time the call was answered in less than a minute. It is a wonderful product and has given me peace of mind.

Works worldwide, no problem. But not all countries have the possibility of a local dial in number. More a problem will be that you need quite a good high speed internet connection, otherwise voice quality will be low. I am very happy with mine, reliable, and receiving calls via a normal phone number is working well in skype. I had several other services before that claimed this works, but this is now true for the first time with skype. If you are outside the 110V area, you will need an appropriate power brick for your voltage, but that is easy.

I had a similar experience. I reported it to NetTalk customer service several times and they never did get back to me. Searching the internet I learned that the 12 month subscription is only included with devices purchased directly from NetTalk or from one of their authorized sellers which evidently doesn't include the Amazon seller(s) that you and I bought our devices from. Unfortunately I learned all of that after the Amazon window for returns closed so I was stuck with it. To make matters worse I had paid them $19.99 to port my phone number and they used the credit card information from that transaction for an automatic renewal after 60 days. I reported that to customer service as well and never heard back from them. I explained all of this to Amazon customer service so that they could correct the information on this listing but nothing came of that either. Return the device to Amazon right away and look into the other alternatives. I got an Obi202 here which has given me free service with Google Voice however that is ending in March so I need to look for another VoIP provider. (Unlike NetTalk and MagicJack the OBi devices are unlocked so you can use them with other providers.) The Ooma devices look very promising- Amazon is selling them for $115 and there is a monthly charge of $3 to $5 to cover govt fees for the calls. http://www.amazon.com/Ooma-Telo-Free-Phone-Service/dp/B002O3W4LE BTW with the NetTalk there was a 3-4 second delay between what was spoken on one end and what was heard on the other. You had to talk real s-l-o-o-o-w to avoid utter confusion. I had never noticed that with the MagicJack+ I had used for a year (I thought that was the absolute bottom of the barrel but I learned otherwise. :-( )

No USA to MEX only, and you have to dial a dial an access number, just like calling cards.it is a crappy service though, internet and MMS doesn't work. And they really have awful customer service! I mean awfully bad!

Thats correct. You can not use the device with a landline to make an outgoing call.

No, the magic jack only has to be hooked up to the modem. If the modem is functioning properly, you can make calls.

I'm sorry, I wouldn't know about the US. I use mine in the Bahamas and the system over there is completely different. I just took it to the phone company, got a sim card and pay online for data $10 at a time as I go over there.

I can't even tell you because my system is not set up because I don't have a landline phone. I didn't realize that I needed a landline in order for it to work Sorry

I activated mine in the USA. I don't see any point in using it in the USA as the calls would be very expensive. You might be able to send a text to test it out though if that's why you'd want to use it straight away.

I found this link form Magicjack support, which says you can fax but you have to deal with your computer and router firewalls. I would add that contrary to marketing hype, there are many U.S. numbers you can't call without buying minutes. I have to use my cell phone to call my kids school, teleconference lines, etc. If the fax you want to send to is part of an office system Magicjack might not let your call through. http://www.magicjacksupport.com/magic-jack-fax-you-can-do-it-t10706.html
