If you sent him a MJ out of country he can call back to the states for free. No International calling just yet (it is to come though). I'm not clear about a MJ to MJ call overseas but I assume that there will be a charge. They are going to sell International Calling Cards on the website. Are you also using a Magicjack?

Do YOU have a MagicJack? Are you calling on a regular POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line? If the phone number number you got for your friend's MJ isn't local to you, AND you are calling on POTS, then you will get charged for long distance on that call.

The physical location of the MagicJack does not matter. If you gave it to your next door neighbor or it is 1/2 way around the world it would be the same.chad wrote:I sent a friend a MJ abroad he can call my home phone and it works great.

This from the Magicjack site: concerning calling locations outside the USA
Call any person on their magicJack number in any country and the call is free.
Call back to the US from another country with your magicJack and it's free.
International Services are not available during our Beta test, but will be "soon
And further down: About calling outside the USA and Canada
Not at this time. We plan to sell international calling minutes in the near future.
You can call other magicJack users anywhere in the world.
But to me this seems to imply that you need to also using a Magicjack to call....and if you aren't why not?
