Installing your Magic Jack voip phone is very easy.  All it takes is to plug the dongle device into a usb port on your computer or into an external a/c powered usb hub.  Once you do this a download will start automatically and install itself on your computer.  During the download  you will need to enter which area code you would like to use, your email address and your physical address.  This download installs a softphone screen on your desktop that will always be there.  You can make phone calls using the softphone screen or by using the telephone that you will be using for this program.  Once the installation is finished it is time to plug a phone cord into the device and into the phone you are using.  Within minutes of getting your new voip phone you can be making and receiving calls.
