I don't think so.  See 47 CFR 15.202 and 15.215

Dave,

It is entirely possible that the Magic Jack femtocell could be approved under Part 15 rules, which permit intentional 
radiators to deliver 500 microvolts per meter at 3 meters (47 CFR 15.209), for frequencies above 960 MHz. I would 
guess that they intend to use only the 1800/1900 MHz GSM bands, which are not proscribed by the restricted bands in 
15.205, and measurements above 1 GHz need only report average power rather than quasi-peak. That amount of power 
isn't going to capture the signal from any nearby base station, but it could certainly cover a small house as 
described.
