in and thought I was watching the Home Shopping Network.

4. Would it work with cordless phones? How about dsl?

I've thought about doing this.
I have a base unit cordless that plugs into the phone jack and 2 satellite units that only need electrical power, no phone jack.
Looks like it I plugged the base station into the Magic Jack it would work.

I'd cancel my local and long distance service, but I get dsl from the phone co. Wonder if I could keep that without paying for local service?

5. Yes

If you plug the base station into the computer you can use the cordless phone. Yes, it works on DSL:
