"Aircard is not a good idea when using magicjack"


I have used MJ only with 3G and an aircard for years. Not perfect - but very adequate.

Good question. Go to MJ home page and go to FAQs. Select the number porting question and you will be guided through the process.

Good luck.

Verizon 4G and MJ

Now that Verizon 4G is out - has anyone used MJ and a 4G aircard together? If so, let us know what the quality of service is like.

I also use a 2 line phone (Panasonic with a cordless 2nd receiver). But, I also have a VoIP line in addition to the MJs. I just forward one of the MJs to the VoIP line and I have only 1 instrument on my desk for all 3 lines.

msiam - The aircard connects to a Cradlepoint router that connects to a 24 port switch. The router also has WiFi. I just plugged the ATA into the switch and throttled the codecs down. MJ and ATA phone work great.
