MajicJack uses the internet to make the calls, so without the internet you can't make any calls and it wouldn't be possible as you have no way of reaching people through your computer except through the internet and/or a network.

"The question of how does MagicJack work has more to do with an existing technology called Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) than it does any real magic. In the same way other companies such as Vonage do, the MagicJack adapter sends the phone conversation out over the Internet instead of the telephone company's voice lines. The conversation is converted into digital information, sent out over the Internet, then connected to the receiving party using their own local telephone service. To both parties the conversation appears to be very normal, almost as if it was taking place on a traditional land line network."
