I'm not sure I understand where the tracphone comes in. Although I live in the US, I do use the mj to make calls to Canada without any problems. If where you snowbird you have cable, just plug the mj into the modem or router using the Ethernet cable. You can then attach any regular phone into it. I use a cordless phone but any phone should work. Also if you have a smart phone mj has an android app for it so its not using minutes or applying out of country charges. MJ, best thing since sliced bread and only $20 a year.
