Thanks for the direct link to Customer Service. Now I know why I was "on cue" last night. They were not even open. Got through this morning, they had a server problem, chat hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm Eastern time, Weekends 10am to 2pm, Apparently International calling should be available next week.

Oh, my MagicJack is working this morning.

Has anyone experienced this type of outage before? I am just trying to get a feel of the reliability.

Thanks

I think at this point, it is best to use MJ as a back up, or make sure you haveanother VoIP service when MJ serivce is down.

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.

Check out voipvoip.com I signed up yesterday after looking them over for a few week or so.. They offer byod and their rates are at 3c a minute right now but are changing to 1.9c a min in two weeks, all incoming calls are free.. Hmm.. That aint too bad, you can also port a number the service is $7 a month for an incoming number, free without , just pay as you go. They even help you with your ATA. I don't know what the long haul quality of the service is yet, but so far the calls have been clear, It is VERY easy to set up and the people are very personable to speak with when asking questions.. I decided to sign up so that I could get away form Teleblend and keep my # They tell me that it should take 30 days, but, they say it has happened in 7 days..I guess I'll know when it happens, and I will report back. That was the best deal I found while checking around. joiphone had a lot of complaints with it, and wasn't much cheaper than a year with anyone else, voipvoip.com lets you leave anytime with no contract, and they will even supply an ata if you need one for $30..unlocked and you keep it.Let me know what you think.. I have a 30 day trial with it..Just curious, anybody tried them before??

Yeah, WHO?

The MJ's FAQs said BYOD will be supported in the near future. I don't mind paying extra for BYOD. I already have a wireless VOIP router with built-in 2 ATA (analog telephone adapter) ports. One port is currently running FWD (FreeWorldDialup.com) SIP service, the spare port is reserved for future MagicJack BYOD service Laughing

Welcome to the VoIP (Voice over IP) world where no one really speaks English Smile

ATA = analog telephone adaptor, a device which connects to the internet (connect to your router like a PC) with telephone jacks so you could hook up a real telephone. You would need an ATA when you subscribe to VoIP telephone service with VoIP service providers such as Vonage, AT&T Vantage, ViaTalk, etc. ATA devices can be locked to a certain provider, eg. Vonage ATA device would only works with Vonage VoIP service and would not work with ViaTalk VoIP service. ATA device could also be unlocked so it could be used with most standard VoIP services such as Vonage, MagicJack, ViaTalk, etc.

When a VoIP service provider allows you to use your own unlocked ATA device with its service, that provider offers "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) option. It's similar to Comcast ISP allows you to buy & use your own cable modem with their service.

MagicJack plans to offer BYOD "soon". You set up your MJ credentials into the ATA device and you would have MJ VOIP service without using the MJ USB device with a PC which is a headache for many people.

Thanks Dan. What is SIP? I've seen this mentioned, and a possible router setting when one has problems. So it might be helpful to know what that is as well.

Who's Dan? Rolling Eyes

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.

Never had to use one yet Laughing

I believe it reinstalls the MJ softphone onto the MJ USB flash memory drive and the MJ start-up application onto the PC/MAC.

MJ Tech support is a waste of your time. Read the many transcripts of Tech "chats" and you will see that the agents are essentially clueless. You will find the same stock answers given for a variety of problems. I don't know if they actually even understand the instructions they are giving you. They probably have hotkeys on their terminals to send you each stock answer. Considering that these tech folks are in South Asia, I doubt if any of them have ever used or attempted to install an MJ themselves.

You are better off browsing this forum for answers to your problem. You will be learning from folks who have already gone through the tech support "chat" hell and from those who have REAL technical expertise and have come up with solutions on their own.

I was on line last night with two of the ladies Grace and her supervisor Ashley. My area code opened up and I went on to change it. at the area code I typed in 937 which is my area and below I noticed a block with "867 Dayton. I did not at the time know what the prefix was but since I live in Dayton thought it ok and clicked to except. Back comes a new number with a 216 area code. I argued with then but they continued to say I should pay $10 to change it but since the site screwed it up on me I was too stubborn to do so. Do any of you think I should just go ahead and pay the ten for their mistake, I guess I am expecting a miracle to have it corrected and just hampering my use of the phone but it makes you mad. Outside of this I love using the little Magic Jack. I had my son buy one and he called me from Australis on vacation when he was there.

tech support told me that a cordless phone would interfere with the MJ because cordless phones interfere with wireless devices. I don't think they ever understood what I was saying when I informed them that the MJ is not a wireless device. They also told me that I can only access voicemail from the MJ softphone or my MJ phone which I later found out is not true (but I still can't listen to my voicemail from another line).

I'll agree their tech support is lacking. Not sure of what training if any they got when MJ hired them. They are probably just learning about this product as we are. I got about the same help when I used to have TWC which is why I dropped them.

Let's face it, We are ALL beta testers for these devices and will have to put up with some of these minor glitches as MJ improves their servers, etc.

From reading these posts, I can see there are alot of people very frustrated in trying to resolve their issues. I've had my MJ for about a month and it's performed far beyond my expectations. Every function of the device works as it should. No problems with voicemail from any phone. All calls incoming/outgoing have been clear, no static, etc.

I expect there are some units that are defective out there but I think most problems are from their own PC, phone attatched, or their ISP provider and internet connection.

If for some reason you need to unplug your MJ....DO NOT just yank it out from your USB port. You could damage the electronics within it or your USB port. Use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in your system tray or wait until you have powered down your PC.



I use a Uniden Dect 6.0 with two handsets....my base unit sits directly next to my laptop and doesn't affect my MJ in any way. My ISP is AT&T Uverse and my computer is connected via a wireless hub which is located at the other end of my house.

Just as lonestarm stated, "From reading these posts, I can see there are alot of people very frustrated in trying to resolve their issues."

I believe the majority of folks like MagicJack but become frustrated with the absence of support. My unit works great until I turn off my computer. Sometimes MagicJack will load and sometmes it won't. We would just like to have a known source where we could go for support.

ahbhu,

It should work in the manner you are using it.

Can you tell us a little more about your problem, What is not working or not working as it should?

The recovery program not finding your unit could be related the the problem you are trying to fix - "Catch 22".

thank you for the response.i dont know if using the recovery program would the best choice but i guess since ive been using it for about a month with no problem until last week. so i decided that to recover the magicjack firmware to the original state that by brother bought it. just a background if from the philippines and my brother bought magicjack so that we can communicate always.(i dont know if this will affect if your located outside the US)

my problem is i installed the recovery tool program that i got from this site. when i finished installing it i cant seem to find it in the list of programs. but i see it as installed in my windows xp. basically my problem is i want the magicjack to save the username and password coz my parents are having a problem with this since they dont know much about computers. but after i plug in the magicjack and put it my username and password i can use the magicjack. but before i only plug the mj then use the phone. so hopefully you guyd can help me with my problem.

ahbhu,

If you are getting the message "Your device is already registerd but please confirm you eamil and password" There is nothing on your end to fix it. It is the MJ system doing that to you.

If you can don't unplug it and it will heal itself with time, or ask the Tech Chat people to reset your account - Under no circumstances follow any of their suggestions about removing of modifying stuff on your computer. Believe me it has noting to do with your equipment. If you do some of the crazy stuff they will ask you to do you will end up with a computer that also needs fixing. Crying or Very sad

So either call them and get them to reset you machine or be patient and the problem will go away. Or don't don't keep removing the MagicJack from you machine and make sure you computer is not set to sleep and that the USB ports in the device manager are not set to sleep because of inactivity.

There is one thing you can try, some I coined the "Fifteen minutes of silence" trick. I don't feel up to retyping it but I posted it last night to another person about the same time I responded to you. So do a search and give it a try. It is painless and as the name implies only takes 15 minutes. Smile

The 15 minutes of silence thing is not all that well documented so please let us know if it cures you problem. Or if you can get the MJ Tech Chat people to reset your account.

Regards,

If I get a bad one, I just ask them to escalate me. They have always done that, except once. If they are a bad agent, just terminate the session. Don't forget to rate them what they deserve before you close it.... Then open it up again and talk to a new agent.

That always works for me, and I usually get a competent person within a few minutes.

You can always wait a while and your luck will probably turn.

Then, there is always Dan.

Do you see two new drives when you connect the MJ device (compared to when it's not connected?). One should be named something like magicJack. The other "PHONE." Do you see those?

The tiny url is a waste of time. I tried for a couple of times and I waited for 30 minutes before I'm accepted?

Try this link:

http://server.iad.liveperson.net/hc/73335289/?cmd=file&file=visitorWantsToChat&site=73335289&SESSIONVAR

Best time to chat is anytime... Cool

Or you can go to http://my.magicjack.com/returns.html and try to look at the button, you will find this "If you're having trouble finding your order, click here and an associate will assist you."

Click the hyperlink word "click here", and start chatting.. Exclamation

MJ Tech support is a waste of your time. Read the many transcripts of Tech "chats" and you will see that the agents are essentially clueless. You will find the same stock answers given for a variety of problems. I don't know if they actually even understand the instructions they are giving you. They probably have hotkeys on their terminals to send you each stock answer. Considering that these tech folks are in South Asia, I doubt if any of them have ever used or attempted to install an MJ themselves.

You are better off browsing this forum for answers to your problem. You will be learning from folks who have already gone through the tech support "chat" hell and from those who have REAL technical expertise and have come up with solutions on their own.

I think you're right, they're hiring agents with no technical back ground. I have the ability to fix issues but they terminated me? Poor 611, they lost one of their valuable agents. Ask me here if you want something about magicjack.
