I saw somewhere that it was for the US and Canada, so presume the answer may well be "No", but wouldn't say for certain.

Subject: [access-uk] Magic Jack from Outside the U.s.


Hi,

My husband and I live outside the United States. We have
several friends in the U.S. who either do not have a computer or
are not able or willing to put skype or similar software on their
boxes.
We therefore call the U.S. on the phone fairly frequently
and are looking for alternatives to this. We currently
have a U.S. based skype-in number which is up for renewal
in a couple months. At the current exchange rate, our
skype-in number costs us very roughly U.S.$90 annually.

We heard about Magic Jack as a much more economical
alternative. we understand that it is possible to call
Magic Jack users from computer to computer for free regardless of their location. We 
also know that Magic Jack charges for international calls
from within the U.S. to other countries in addition to the annual subscription 
fee to Magic Jack. Our question is if it is possible and
legal to use Magic Jack from outside the United states to
call landline and cell phone numbers in the U.S. without any additional charges and to receive 
phone calls from U.S. phones on the phone number assigned from Magic
Jack regardless of our location with no additional charges for
either us or the caller.

Any information would be much appreciated  - also
pointers to sources of information if this is beyond the scope of this email 
list.  You can also mail me off list at

Thanks much.
