I've been considering MajicJack to replace my home and cell number provider. I have a couple of questions before I order one.

1.) Will I be able to keep my old phone number?
2.) Will there be any minimum charge for the phone company? any US government fees or taxes?
3.) Do the recipient of my phone calls have to have a magicJack. in North America? Internationally?
4.) Right now, I have fax service on the same number using a splitter. Will my fax also work the same way with MagicJack?
5.) Is there any setup fees for MagicJack?
6.) I have 3 home phones (on same line) and 2 cell phones. Will I be able to use 1 MagicJack for all or do I need one MagicJack per phone?


Any help will be appreciated

I hadn't thought of back charging my phone jacks. That's an excellent fix for how to use my existing jacks since my primary line is voip also.

Just play it safe and disconnect the telco line at your service box usually just by unplugging the RJ-11 jumper there.
