Using Magic Jack in Europe?

[JEFF247]

My sister is going to Belgium on business so I bought her a Magic Jack. Are they easily used in Europe? Rather than lug a phone around, I was hoping she could just unplug her hotel room phone and use it with the magic jack. Possible? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Well with magic jack you need an internet connection. if the jack is the same it should wrok, the main key for it to work is the internet connection.

All this assumes a high speed internet connection to her laptop per MJ requirements..

MAjic jack on their site says compatible with analogue & digital phones,pretty sure hotel systems are digital, but I would pack a small regular phone just to be sure, also European jacks are different I think
The majic jack will work for her to call numbers within US & Canada, but not numbers within Europe

works well

My daughter was in London for a semester and used one to call while she was there. As for working with a digital phone. The Magic Jack generates an analog dial tone. You need a plain ordinary telephone pluged into it. I recomend a cordless.

Your internet connection should be high speed. I use mine on my lap top and WiFi.

Very helpful info guys, thanks. So you can call back to the US or Canada but not to other European countries? That shouldn't be a problem.
