It's illegal according to FCC regulations to broadcast on the same frequencies that 3G carriers are licensed to use. You could probably buy some shady device like this and import it from Asia, but you're going to be stepping all over your neighbor's cell phone reception, or worse, sharing it out with them, if it even worked in the first place. |

An average press clipping from mid-january: "The company said its device is legal, arguing the spectrum licenses of GSM carriers such as AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile USA do not extend into the home." ( http://www.fiercewireless.com/ceslive/story/magicjack-using-... )
It's an interesting tack to take, and I'm very curious about whether the stalled product launch was due to regulation/legal issues, or if magicjack abandoned it for another reason.
