What to do: i'm in switzerland and have a magic jack and my friend in the US wants to call me.?

Question

ok guys i really need your help. i have a friend who is doing time in the US. obviously i can't send the magic jack to him PLUS he can only call numbers within the US. that's why i even got the MJ. now my problem is 1) is it even possible for him to call me when i'm not in the US/ can i receive phone calls from the US using the MJ? and 2) my phone only has a regular plug, no phone plug like it says in the manual. please help me this thing is freakin me out. i know my questions may sound stupid but i'm a hopeless case when it comes to computers/phones/plugs you name it. ok thanks.

Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure how the magic jack works, but if it's set as a US number, then it'll work.

However if you want something a little more proven and secure, you can always Download Skype, and spend a few bucks on a SkypeIn account, then grab a local phone number in the US, and you'd be set. Just log into skype, be ready, and your friend can call the Local American number that you chose, and it'll ring your skype in Switzerland.

Answer 2

no problem!!! since you are the one who has the MJ with on US are-code....he can call you easily!!

and that the nice part about the MJ....you can call from anywhere in the world.....the computer doesn't know where you are, but you do!!

as long you have high-speed Internet the MJ will work no matter where you are....!
