It might be legal... Should the company behind (say, MagicJack) be the holder of a license. Usage of allocated spectrum in Europe is strictly forbidden, unless you are the legal holder, even in private spaces such as homes. Any emission in allocated frequencies can (and most probably, will) create interference and cause a service disruption in other users nearby. So, no, without a license, there's no way to legally do so in Europe. And I guess the cost of obtaining a license would smash the business case to pieces... Hi Jochen.
