Does Magic Jack work with DirecTV or Dish Network?

I have a Magic Jack and works great. Can I take the magic jack unit to my mom's to see if will work?

  • I live in the city and get cable high speed internet from Comcast. She lives in the country and uses Hughes Net (satellite dish) for her high speed. I was wondering if I could test mine out on her computer to see if will work before she buys it.

  • Answer:

    i think it would be a good idea to test it over at her house before buying it... because satellite internet is bound to create some jitter and/or latency with the internet connection that may not be noticable for normal web surfing/browsing.. but when you get to VoIP it could become a major problem... i would also recommend a speed test http://speedtest.net and a ping/jitter/latency test http://pingtest.net

You can plug Magic Jack into any computer with a USB port. The quality of the call will depend on the speed of the internet connection & the operating system of the computer. I have used mine on T-1 & DSL line with good service, but Magic Jack does not like to operate on Vista.
