Is Internet access required for magicJack to work?

MagicJack requires a high-speed Internet connection to work. MagicJack is a Voice over Internet Protocol service provider that uses high-speed Internet instead of telephone lines and phone towers to connect phone calls.

MagicJack provides users with a dedicated phone number that works like a traditional phone number. MagicJack customers can call landlines or mobile phones and can receive calls using a traditional home phone.
