They are actually pretty good and seem to know thier way around computers very well. I never have to wait and they are always courteous. |

I like JAJAH because it also uses a regular phone, but you can also use a cell phone, and you don't need to be near a computer.
Combine all 3 with a GrandCentral Number. |
Ive been using magicjack for more than 5 years and never had an issue ... |

I love the MJ. had one for a year.
very few problems.
Originally, it would cut me off after talking an hr. so I chatted with them.
reinstalled and didn't have that trouble until I talked for about 2 hrs. then it cut me off... reconnecting lt me get several busy signals and evenatually worked again. so ... I chatted with them... and they "helped" but ... it still did the same thing after 2hr.
Then I paid for another year... seemed like after that things were getting glitchy. and acting up.
then It wouldn't start up properly ... so I chatted again... they offerd remoted in and "fixed" stuff.... DON'T LET THEM .
I didn't as Dell did that and eventually I crashed.
so it took longer and I tried all kinds of thing slight of getting into the registry ( don't do that eiher) over several day and almost 4 hrs of chatting ... nothing wass getting better. they finally told me to buy another MJ... excuse me... they offered me a free one for s&H of $10. asked them if I could just go to the store and get one... they said sure... but you have to pay the $40. I thought I might ask them for a refund and bag it then decided to let it ride.
I took it to another comptuer... before plugging it in.. I opened mycomputer and the task manager so I could view them both. plugged it in. MJ loaded, created the 2 drives... and worked... so it was not the MJ.. but something messed up on the computer. and their support only made it worse. I also set the virus checkers to a slightly less secure setting to see if that helped.
then, I shut it down, unplug mj rebooted and plugged in mj and it worked.
Went to my computer ran my easyclean program ( deleted cookies and temp internet file) ran the mjremove program MJ keeps sending me ( I have it on my computer so I don't keep downloading it)
then hit run and typed application data made sure the MJ folder was gone... searched my entire hard drive for Majic and found only a few prefetch files listed and Icons that weren't directly involved with MJ loading.
rebooted and instead of plugging into my comptuer I plugged mj into my monitor.. it loaded and worked. rebooted.. removed mj before rebooting... then plugged it in where it was... and all is well.
hope this helps.. it wasn't worth the time spent with chat support
they don't know anything except what there cheat sheet book says in front of tehm
if the assure you somthing will work... ignore them
if the say they will email you.... they lie
If they drop you from the chat.. you cannot get the same person back... even if they tell you to ask for them.
if they give you a phone number that works... let us know..
and if the tell you after it is working, to call someone with mj to see if it works... isn't it oddd... they cannot call you or you call them... you now.. if they did , the caller id would let you know their number hehe.
oh well.
hope this helps |

Who's Dan?
SIP = Session initiated protocol, a standard method to do call setup (signaling) and delivery over the internet. Most VOIP service providers (including MJ) use SIP method.
Some newer routers support ALGs (application layer gateway). ALGs are special embedded functions to help make routers more friendly to users. For example, VoIP/SIP ALG in the router would help open/close SIP ports (5060/5070) as needed. QoS (quality of service) ALG would give higher priority to VoIP traffic, online games, etc over normal internet traffic (http, ftp, etc).
Some routers make these ALGs selectable, you could turn these ALGs on or off as needed. Other routers may only provide ALGs automatically without requiring user's manual settings. |
LM(not Dan )
I chat with MJ online service for five days now and the last one they told me to contact my ISP(currently located overseas)) and ask them to allow MJ to conect and creat or open 5060/5070 SIP port with UDC. I was about to do that when I either miraculously or accedentally (LUCKY ME)read your post about 5060/5070. Do you think this will help solve the problem of my MJ that since I received it six days ago I still can't make a phone call. There is a dial tone and the people that I am calling gets the call but when they picked it up we can't hear anything. They returned my calls, my MJ rings but when I picked up the phone nothing in there...please advice.... |
