Now I have the cables bundled and routed to an out of the way bookshelf, but here is what my setup looked like when I first went with naked U-verse and the Magic Jack Go. The red marks indicate the Magic Jack Go, Ethernet cable to router, and the MJ power adapter. A few years back I played around with one of the original Magic Jack devices that plugged into a USB port on my computer, so I've had two years of total experience with them. Once set up your phones work just as they would if they were plugged into a wired outlet. I run the base phone and answering machine along with three DECT 6.0 extension handsets around the house. Magic Jack also comes with a voicemail feature, but I have it turned off and use the physical answering machine on my phone's system.
RE: 911 GPS location. On my old flip phone the GPS system would only turn on when 911 was called. I used the phone twice to call 911 and the phone would make a siren's wail when send was entered after 911. I suspect that smartphones will automatically enable GPS locating when calls are placed to 911. Do not know for a fact, but suspect that to be the case.
