I have a friend who has some kind of wireless connection that includes a radio that is attached to his house (not a satellite dish) and he uses magic jack for a phone service witch is a voice over IP device.
I am currently looking at a satellite internet connection, (Hughes net) to use as my home internet connection. I contacted Magic Jack and asked if it would work over a satellite internet connection, and their people told me that there is no such thing as voice over IP on a satellite connection. I live in a remote area, and there is only one ISP/ telephone company. They have the area monopolized so the prices are fairly high. I am looking for any suggestions I can get to help offset the cost, but the catch is I will have to access the web via satellite. There isn't any cell phone services that get a strong enough signal in the area to go that route, atleast that I know of. The zip is 48746.
Thanks for your help!
