The app looks interesting, but I've got a decent unlimited call plan now so no real need to save minutes, and I don't think I'd want to link the MagicJack phone number to my cell since the MJ number has been associated with everything in our lives for years, so if there are going to be any telemarketing calls or other nuisance callers, they all go to that phone and stay off the cell phones.
It would probably be a great feature if you use a cell phone service like Ting to save on monthly bills (which I've really been tempted to switch to, I'm not a huge phone talker and usually get by with under 100 minutes/month and would probably cut my phone bill by half).

It looks like these LG Optimus phones work for 3G.
So maybe I need something else, do you think?

Every phone should be able to connect to your home wifi and I'm pretty certain that's how the MJ app will make calls. So you'd be limited to using it at home or from free public wifi locations (or some 3G plan if you have one). I'm pretty certain you'd also need the MagicJack adapter as well, the app information is a bit misleading like you can place free calls with just the app.
Edit: I installed the app just to test it out and it seems to work just fine for me, the free version is of course ad-supported. I'm on KitKat 4.4.2, but it says it requires only 2.3 (but I would shoot for higher since updates generally start dropping older versions). You really don't have any old cell phone laying around to test it out on?
