you have to set up Viber in whichever country your phone service originates. So if it's a US phone, then in the US; if Mexican then in Mexico.

With MJ, the device plugs directly into the modem? I use my neighbors wifi so I will have to get my own internet/modem. I can do that if the MJ is a good product.

Magic Jack works both straight off the modem and/or off your computer. So if you don't have physical access to the modem (I don't either) then you just plug it into the side of the computer. This has the disadvantage of tying your computer down but is workable (I only use it for business so after 5pm I just turn it off and let it go to voice mail).

yup, I share my neighbors wifi and MJ+ works perfect although I do try to get my laptop as close as possible to her modem (100')
