The problem is that VoIP of all flavors uses audio encoding with
acoustic models designed to reproduce a human vocal tract. It's not
designed for data. GSM has the same issue, which is why GSM "modems"
bypass the speech codec and transmit the data directly out-of-band.
The real "modem" (modulates digital data into an audio signal) lives
at the central station (where the GSM-to-POTS interface lives).

You'd need equivalent functionality in MagicJack. Not saying such
things are impossible - I work in an industry that relies on ancient
modems and VoIP providers HAVE been persuaded to implement that sort
of thing. But it needs to be provisioned specifically.
