Well, I have just a cell phone, the only reason I'm getting magic jack is for my fax machine. I seen others say it doesn't work with fax machines very well, but I've had better results, and my cell phone stays charged, so no worries about a power outage. Plus my complex has a backup generator. So I'd say were good to go over here in cold and snowy MN!
