We do not recommend using magicJack with satellite Internet.

Though satellite Internet service is considerably faster than a dial-up connection, it is traditionally slower than many cable, DSL and other high-speed Internet connections.

The only reason you would need multiple magic jacks is if you wanted mutiple numbers.

Their customer support is internet based via chat.
