Should work. Keep in mind that they will need high speed internet access and a PC/Laptop running XP or Vista.

The speed looks ok but I would do more research before buying.

I have not heard of anyone using it with dialup.

Here is a cut & paste from the magicJack site:

Will magicJack work on dialup internet service?
No. Dial up internet service does not provide enough bandwidth for magicJack.

magicJack uses approximately 80 kbps of bandwidth (both upload and download), so you will need at least an ISDN or "Lite" broadband connection.

Note, magicJack-to-magicJack calls may work using Dial up internet service.
