Yes, this is exactly where we are using the phone. The phone is corded and does not require charging.

Yes, it's all you need. It's what I use now, so I "know" it works. It doesn't need a "charge"... the Magicjack gets it's electric from the computer's USB, and the phone just plugs into the Magicjack and you can make/receive calls. That's it... very simple.

As long as the power cable is plugged in, it *should* charge. When not plugged in to my computer, my USB headphones do not power on; though this could be because they require drivers to work. It does charge my phone without being connected to my PC, though.

The phone is charged via a connection from it to usb on Jackery. The jackery has separate chord that goes from it to the usb art of phone charger.

The unit gets charged when attached to a computer. I assume that the internal battery will permanently fail someday, but mine has been through many recharge cycles while plugged into my computer and it still functions. I guess when mine stops working, away from a computer USB port, I will toss it and buy another.

Mine came with a small charge so it worked right away. I then charged it about 20 hours in the phone.

The phone is like any other phone, just an old-time inspired shape. So you can plug an answering machine into the phone socket and the phone into the answering machine (the standard arrangement) and all will work just fine.

I use my phone charger either home or car will work. I have also used my computer to charge it up. It is good to charge your phone once then it needs to be charged.

It comes with a USB cord that plugs into your computer. A phone charger will work also.

The batteries only charge from the ac socket and micro USB. If you connect to your computer with a micro USB to USB connection it will work. If you want to use the USB connection you can connect directly to your phone with the USB to micro USB cable.

Yes it will work while being charged. I haven't tried leaving it connected all of the time because the battery life is pretty good. There is a power switch. The speaker is very easy to connect and use.

Yes, the phone charges as long as the base is plugged to a electrical circuit and is in the base.

I works when it is charged. But it will not charge in my phone. I need to use a separate charger to recharge it.

Do you have a phone cord that could connect to the phone? Then it should work.

It does charge with the USB wall charger a computer USB charger. Be sure to cycle the batter at least 3 times. Completely kill the bat before you charge it again otherwise your phone won't read the battery properly and you wont get a full charge or the phone will go into energy save mode even though you still have plenty of life left. I use about 15gigs of data and about 4000 minutes of talk time a month, plus the kids play with the games on my phone and I still can get easily 2.5 days of use out of it.

Yes it has to be plugged into the computer by USB. It records the call on to your local hard drive. The computer and phone can be separated by as long as your phone cord is able to stretch.

It uses a rechargeable battery and includes a usb cable so you can connect to your computer. I also plugged mine into a wall charger for phones and it worked just fine.
