the conventional downstairs where the desktop is, would the wireless one automatically pick up the magic jack service? Sorry this is so drawn out.

Personally, I am not a fan of Magic Jack. However, MJ will not integrate with either phone services. With MJ, you will plug into your PC, and you would get a new telephone number. This means that your home phone service will not be affected, nor will your wireless phone. If you are trying to give out just one phone number, and have it ring all phones, I will consider Google Voice.



You would give the Google Voice number out, and it will ring all of the phones. As for displaying the GV number as your phone number, you would need a SIP phone or ATA and Teltub ($5 per month), and an Android phone. You could also use iOS, but must jump a couple of hoops, or RIM, but the phones have been a bit dated. With SIP services, you would need a broadband connection. This is what I do, and therefore all outgoing calls show GV, and incoming calls ring both the home, and cell phone.

The magic jack is not a wireless device. It is only a USB drive that has a plug on the end where you connect a telelphone too. It has no bearing with your other telephone (wireless) and your landline phone. If you got a magic jack, you would get another telephone line and new phone number in your home. The disadvantage is your computer has to be turn on all the time. If you turn your computer off you won't be able to make or receive calls on magic jack.

maximum residential wiring has 4 wires on the least. this is the place it gets no longer elementary. you may latest the DSL line to the modem and then feed the the remainder of the telephones with MJ wiring. If it have been my job, i might examine initially to make effective the telco can provide you "bare" DSL. Then, i might carry interior the demarc DSL on the 2nd pair (orange wires or black/yellow) to the jack the place the DSL modem is going to be. At that jack, I"d rewire it, or upload a 2nd keystone to hold out the 2nd pair because of the fact the middle pins to plug interior the DSL line, then i might run a line twine from the MJ RJ-11 to the 1st domicile pair, giving dial tone back to all the different jacks 1st pairs. elementary :-) The grotesque trick is that if somebody has decrease the distinctive or no longer under pressure all the pairs by using each and each jack. then you certainly might could run a dedicated line from the demarc to the DSL modem, or in simple terms %. the closest jack to the demarc. needless to say my dedicated line is an RG-6 LOL
