OK...i have a question re: Magic Jack. I have cable internet/FIOS and I own a cell phone. I do not have "phone service" hookup for my residence. Can I use this "magic jack"in lieu of a phone line for my printer. Which happens to have a fax capabilty. Would it be prudent to purchase this if I were to use the Magic Jack as the given incoming phone number as my "fax number"? If anyone has an idea, please email me here,and give feedback on this important question. Thanks!

Yes, people have gotten fax machines to work over a Magic Jack line.

Officially, they don't support it, however they do admit that it can be done.
Here is their official response:

"We do not officially support using faxing with magicJack.

Please try the following steps to use magicJack with your fax (contact your fax manufacturer for details):

Turn off error correction on your fax machine or program
Set the fax machine or program to use the slowest speed available
Increase the speed, checking at each speed that faxes work"

I think in general, setting to the lowest speed has more of a chance of working.
