I have opened up numerous Tech Support chats on the issue with no results. However the *67 trick has always been a work around. You know the deal for number (123) 456-7890 you dial *671*23 456-7890. Then the call goes through. After upgrading to version 1.80.4663.3272, I get a recording stating that I have reached the Y-Max test number and my call was successful . I rolled back to version 1.80.4512.3155 and I can once again use the *67 trick for number that don't work otherwise. Also it appears that the new version is now posted on the main MJ download page.

Put an * after the first number dialed, followed by the remaining numbers? This is purported to fix echo problems and/or the problem where you can't dial a number(?).

However, at least on the previous versions, you could not dial it that way, but interestingly, if you saved a *677*18-xxx-xxxx number it would show up in the contacts as 7*18-xxx-xxxx. Maybe they've "fixed" this? Back to top DonMan MagicJack Newbie Joined: 07 Aug 2008 Posts: 9 Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:18 pm    Post subject: Yes, that works. Thanks! Now I hope they resolve the 30 minute limit thing.

Look at your "calls" list. Is the number complete or missing the last digit? Someone said you have to enter it as you did, let it fail, then pull it up by clicking on the "calls" list, add the last digit, click send.

I tried dialing 8*17-xxx-xxxx using the phone, it seemed to not dial the last number, if I did it with the soft phone, it works. I only have one phone number that gives me this trouble, but it's a number I call frequently. I just went into the contact list and changed the phone number to 8*17-xxx-xxxx and now it works. I do wish MJ would get this problem fixed, it's quite annoying that I can't pick up the phone and DIAL the number using the phone. One thing I found that helps though is a 3rd party website that lets you call long distance numbers free (I know, it's free using MJ, but if you have trouble dialing a number for any reason, you can use this too) http://labs.jaduka.com/dukadial/ Back to top JohnnyFreightTRAIN Dan isn't smart enough to hire me Joined: 08 Aug 2008 Posts: 313 Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 8:14 am    Post subject: TreasureGift wrote: Yeah, the *67*xxx-xxx-xxxx stopped working for me as well, it goes to the y-max thing.

So it doesn't count toward "excessive usage" and it doesn't cut off after an hour. It's also great for spreading your usage over rather then buying two billion magicjacks, and good for making "three-way calls" with your magicjack (3way calls only work with incoming calls).
