You can't run Magicjack over satellite internet. 

Magicjack is OK, but not as good as Vonage or other real companies.

Read this review and then decide

Dont buy into this unless you have a spare computer that you dont mind getting the spy-malware on. Or a credit card you dont mind charging up!

Satellite internet sucks.  You're not missing out on anything.

I had a coworker try that out (to avoid having a second line for an office line)

It sucked. Voice drops, bad quality, you couldn't do anything else on the inet when you were connected via MagicJack (cause apparently they don't work with QOS).

Some other voip, maybe, but not that (I'm still a 2 pots lines guy myself).
