Can I connect my fax machine to my Magic Jack?
Optional Information: Computer OS: Windows XP Browser: Other Already Tried: Nothing, just wondering if it might work.
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer. I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.In a word, yes - it does work. You do need to know that Magicjack works differently than a regular phone line, so some users experience problems with faxes, more errors, etc.To connect the fax, simply disconnect the phone from the jack, and connect the fax instead.Thanks,J.Remember, if for any reason you are unsatisfied with my answer, we can continue the conversation until you’re satisfied and Accept my answer.

James,
After I plug the fax into my MJ can I then plug my phone into the phone jack
on the fax and use it or do I have to unplug the fax and plug the phone back in
to use it?
Yes you can! Exactly as if you were connecting the fax to the wall.Just make sure the fax's LINE port goes to the MJ, and the PHONE port goes to the phone, not the other way around.J.Remember, if for any reason you are unsatisfied with my answer, we can continue the conversation until you’re satisfied and Accept my answer.
