Using Magicjack With Existing Landline

Post by metrxseven »

How can I use Magicjack with my existing landline so I can use Magicjack to make long distance calls and still have incoming calls come into my existing landline?

Have one dedicated phone plugged into Magicjack that you use for long distance and have your other phones plugged into the wall jacks to use for local calls.

There is no way to have your Magic Jack plugged into the house system and working correctly without disabling the landline by removing the incoming phone wires at the box.

You could put MJ on the second line. You would still need to disconnect the second line from the house and use two line phone boxes. Something like this.
