MagicJack used with dialup service?

Without reading the entire MagicJack website I'm hoping for quick direction from MagicJack users; My elderly parents who cannot get broadband service would like to look into getting MagicJack. They only have access to a VERY slow dialup line (14 kps). Will MagicJack be good for them?

Absolutely not

. . . yeah, immediately after I posted the question I found out through various other forums that although it might "work" it would be sketchy at best.

On 14.4? No. (I still have some old 14.4 modems--haven't used them in 15 years, except for the occasional FAX.)

Interestingly, the magicJack site says that magicJack-to-magicJack calls *may* work over dial-up, though I'm sure they're talking about 56k. Back in the 90's I actually used VoIP, briefly, with dial-up (just to play around with it). It did work... badly, but it did work. I wouldn't recommend it; when you're thinking VoIP, think broadband.

Yes, I remember early 90's internet phone, I too dabbled with it and found that it worked, albeit choppy. Upstate NY (mountain regions) don't get DSL or Cable, so my parents are able to use their internet for basically email and long bouts of meditation while watching the CNN page download.

Get real people. I am going to order the device and try it. From what I read and understand about it is---$39.95 for the device, $19.95 for year of service, total $60.00. All you complainers out there, get real. You can't fill your car with gas for $60.00.

Re: magicjack

supposedly the first year is free, so it's only $47.00 with the shipping...I haven't ordered yet...tried to but it never showed up on my records or theirs...a little nervous about it now, but I sure agree with you on the money issue...it's about the same as half a tank of gas, so saving the money and using it on gas is a good thought for me
