|
|
 Ordered an MJ on trial - worked awesome - call quality better than my Cox home service. Reason I went to MJ was I received a joke of a phone bill $187 from Cox - ALL the calls were made to locations less than 50 miles away, in state. Sooo, my search for a cost effective phone service began. I had bought Skype - call quality stunk to the point that I just quit using it, that coupled with the fact I had to use THEIR phone equipment ( or equioment certified to work on Skype) also, it wouldn't interface with my VoiceLogic home PBX - well, does anyone want to buy a slightly used Linksys CIT200??  Found and bought a MJ. Next step - my brother travels alot, I lent him my first MJ, and ordered a second one. He set's it up as a Bluetooth device, changes the MJ to "Headset - other" and WiFi's where ever he's at - or plugs into a local RJ-45. Wa La - dial tone. Worked great in Sout East Asia and his latest was from Tahiti. Hotel calls to the US are $18.40 / min. If your a local, it's like $6.20. You buy blocks of highspeed WiFi for $2.00 for a 2 hour block - works out to 1.6 cents / min. Call quality was the best. Several of the Hotel (Intercontinental) employees including some management people called from it, and couldn't believe the quality and cost. As soon as I can port my home number over, Cox can kiss my Cox (service) goodbye! I'm running MJ 24/7 off an old Sony Viao laptop - consumes about 15 watts at 18 volts DC - close to no power consumption. I then feed the MJ RJ11 into my VoiceLogic 2 line x 6 extension home PBX - works awesome. Well, If you can't tell I'm totally thrilled, then read again! BTW - setup for both MJ's was a breeze, almost too easy. I'm still waiting for the catch.  |

If that VoiceLogic PBX has SIP Support, you can take the computer out of the equation completely..... |

The VoiceLogic is a bit old and no longer made. I don't Believe it has sip support. Hell, I don't even knoe waht SIP is for that matter. I originally set up the VoiceLogic because I had a step-daughter from hell on the phone - I was getting calls at all hours. Soooo, got the voice logic, and A) it had an autoattendant, B) only the extention dailed rang C) I could program it to shut down STFH (Step-daughter from hell) dial in / out times. I only really would like to keep an auto-attendant and 4 extensions capability - any ideas would be gladly appreciated!
