I was told by one of the MJ reps that it will not work with Satellite.

Mindy, NO they do not work. I found out the hard way by getting the satelite (2 yr. contract) then ordering Magic Jack..I configured everything like the site stated, emailed them and then was on phone with 2 different people and finally they listened when I ASK AGAIN if it worked with the satelite, and the answer was NO.. they refunded my money but still have the 2 yr contract with Hughes Net.

Check the local area before you invest and sign a contract with a satellite service. We have hughes.net it cost $100 a month and isn't much better than dial up. We are locked into a 2 year contract.

In my local paper a tech reporter ordered Magic Jack and wrote a review on the item. Review was not favorable. And of course if you have a power failure or the puter crashes you have no phone service.

Do a search on Magic jack before buying. Sounds to good to be true, and it is. L

I don't know but the magic jack phones have drawbacks.
I've heard they do not work with phone systems that force you to enter numbers like when you're calling to place an order or check on your credit cards. There are some business that do not allow you to speak to a live person anyomore so that may be a consideration for you.
I've also read that they do not work with 911 autotracking so if God forbid you had an emergency and someone couldn't speak after dialing, no one could find where the call is coming from.
I have also been thinking about getting it as a long distance phone and keeping a minimal home phone to be safe.
