All you have to do is plug it in. Here's a YouTube video showing how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd3g9AjcYDc Back to top Witeout magicJack Apprentice Joined: 24 Aug 2010 Posts: 10 Location: Rocklin, CA (Central CA) Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 9:54 pm    Post subject: Re: "The Plug" MagicJack Caller ID Fix jwcastle wrote: For those who aren't handy with a soldering iron and small electronic components or just too lazy to get the parts and build it themselves, I've made "The Plug" which has the 100k ohm resistor already in it.

The one you entered into the phone. If not then you will ONLY see the # on the phone hooked into the MJ. One of my phones does this and the other does not..

My phones already show the number. Back to top jwcastle MagicJack Newbie Joined: 28 Aug 2010 Posts: 7 Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 3:35 am    Post subject: Bitstopjoe said it best. Magicjack only sends the phone number to your phone, and not the name. In a way, it's similar to a cell phone. If someone that you don't know calls your cell phone, you'll only see the number. But if that number is in your phonebook, then it will show the name.

I wish they all would, but some do not. I know because the one I happen to have on my MJ does not, bummer. Good luck with your product...reminds me of myself when I was in my 20's and made something to make single sided 5 1/4 disks double sided ( YES I am that old Joe Sica Back to top kevin8629 MagicJack Expert Joined: 07 Feb 2009 Posts: 78 Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 7:05 am    Post subject: bitstopjoe wrote: jwcastle wrote: Bitstopjoe said it best.

HA............ The pot calling the kettle black huh I remember installing some chips I found into an Atari single sided drive and turned it into a double sided drive therefore doubling the storage. Man I sold a lot of those and also installed a lot of those too. Good times good times...........and simpler times as well, in the PC world that is..

I don't even know what kind of computers use an 8" floppy disk. I know some of the older Apples, Ataris, and Commodores used the 5.25 and the 3.5" ones.

With each generation in the USA getting worse than the previous one were going to need others with the will and ambition to show us how to use all the next generation electronics. I have many friends that are engineers. They want to hire Americans for the line of work they are in. Finding qualified American engineers is harder than getting Obama to go along with a balanced budget amendment.
