Reception question....

jwoodley · Post by **jwoodley** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 2:10 am

I am interested in getting MagicJack, but I live out in the country and don't get a very good signal on my cellphone. We do have a land line, but I would like to use MagicJack instead. We are using a Cricket 3G card on our PC to get the internet. Is having a bad reception with my cellphone any indication that I probably won't get a very good reception if I use MagicJack? Thanks for the assistance Guys.

MagicJack needs good Internet to work properly, sounds bad for you in your current situation.

Before you buy MJ, run these two tests with your current set-up:

http://www.pingtest.net/

If your get good results, the odds are that MJ will work satisfactorily. If not, save your money.

From the information provided I would recommend you not even to try MJ.
You can try http://myspeed.visualware.com/indexvoip.php to test but in your case it is probably a waste of time.

I knew it was probably better to ask you guys before I bought it. Thank you again.
