Nighthawk C7000 & MagicJack

[domenech1776]

My wife just bought me this cable modem for my birthday, today I went to hook it up, and realized that it does not have the phone jack for a home phone. My wife works from home, so having the home phone for calling into meetings.

If I get a Magicjack, can I plug it into the USB port on the back and get it to work? I understand that I will probably have to play with settings on both the modem and Magicjack, I just want to know if it's possible.

If you are Xfinity subscriber, you could have got C7100V which comes with Phone features.

otherwise, Vonage or ooma are good options instead of MajicJack.

note: the USB port is for ReadyShare feature and not intended for MajicJack.

Time Warner Cable, or now known as Spectrum, so sounds like a new evil organization for James Bond or Marvel.

I don't think I can get a comparible  model, I'll have to look into those other options.

Thanks

spectrum does NOT certify retail voice modems. 

you will probably need to go to Vonage or ooma.
