Magic Jack and Japan

Question

My son is leaving for schhol in Japan in a few weeks..and this seems to solve the communication problem IF I am reading it correctly whay he will need is:

Magic Jack

a regular phone OR can he use a cell phone? IF he used his cell phone he would be charged "minutes" off his plan, correct?

BUT he would not need a phone company also, correct?

Sorry if I sound REALLY confused.

Aloha

Answer 1

Forget the cell to talk to him...  It will probably be WAY too expensive!

But, if you BOTH have a Magic Jack, it will always be Free for BOTH of you to call each other at ANY time - for as long as you wish.  How can you beat that?

Here's a good primer to better understand:

Good luck to both you and your son in school.
