Hi there, and sorry to be so blunt.

MagicJack is a piece of crap. The dongle is just an a/d conerter to
plug-in a regular phone, the rest is pure software. I had to throow 2
away because of lack of Linux support and just stuck with Skype who
now BTW offers international SIP services, so I also hooked up Skype +
Asterisk. This means you can purchase Skype phone # and attach it to
your Asterisk and everything in FBSD. No Windoze crappy software.
