magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

Microsoft Live Search gives you a 25% rebate on BuyitNow items, so you could get an ooma pretty cheap on ebay...you'll need to jump thru some hoops to get this though, so research it in the Fatwallet forums for more details.

They may start charging, just like MJ may raise their fee

Now I don't usually contribute to all the political forwards, because I think alot of them are way out there, and just plain wrong. Obama is not a terrorist, he's not a Muslim, and he most likely is an American citizen. Update: This one I just received says he's a Marxist. Probably not.

Instead, I ...

I agree with the location of this thread, the mods should move it...it's just another Ooma thread started by sligg (or alias).

You make valid points, anything could happen. I'd like Ooma to be a long term solution for me, but I'm willing to accept that the business model may not work, or they may ...

Here's a few "suckers" buying in...

Those investors must be convinced of something. I could be wrong, but they may see something that members of an online forum don't.

Bottom line is that the thing works as ...

Things have changed. Ooma now offers a premium service with more features for a monthly fee...not sure of the cost, but one of the features is the ability to add up to 4 lines.

Maybe not you, but quite a few people on this board have paid more than $40 for their magicjack...thin clients, dedicated machines, powered USB hub, buying different phones to try to get their MJ to work better/be more efficient...that stuff isn't free last time I looked into it. Add it all up and ...

Ooma receives more funding:

I have a suggestion...get an Ooma, it is the best "modification" you can do to make your calls clearer. Of all the things that I have tried over the past year to make MJ perform, this one is it!

Ooma is a gamble that I also took, unit is set to be delivered tomorrow (buydotcom $230). I will be keeping my magicjack (prepaid another year), but I just don't have time anymore to figure it out, chat with tech support, set up a thin client, etc., and the wife is embarassed to use it. Yes, the ...

Buydotcom has the ooma for $230 shipped...looking forward to sharing my experience.


I'm a long term MJ user and my experience with MJ has been marginal with the usual problems that many of us have gone through.

I just installed a new replacement and the call quality is the worst of all the MJ's ...

make sure you're forwarding the following ports on the router to the computer you are running MagicJack on.

UDP & TCP 5070-070, 80 and 443

OK, so I want to try this, but it seems confusing. What does 5070-070 mean?

When I log into my router firewall options, I see selections for TCP and UDP ...

High priority on a hardwire, with a linksys booster (similiar to Hawking).

The proxy server and network protocols are new to me. I'll try a search to find info on these. Thanks


It should work fine on Vista

Are you using a hardwired connection?
Have you tried changing MJ to high priority and see ...

I guess I'm curious about all the folks that can get their MJ to work...is XP the way to go? My wife has had it with our MJ, so I'm desperately looking for a solution. One bonus is my mother-in-law never wants to call cause it sucks so bad.

I think I've tried everything but XP (currently tried on ...

I've tried quit a few phones, and none fixed the call quality issues I've had with MJ. I have 3 different Unidens, an old 900mhz, a 2.4, and a DECT. I tried the Panasonic DECT, but returned it when I determined call quality wasn't any better and wanted to get my $70 back. I also have a 900mhz GE ...

Yes, my work does have a large phone system, and that is the exact number that shows (must have been discussed before). It is wierd though, my MJ number used to show correctly.

Sometimes when my wife calls me at work (using MJ), I see a totally different number show on my CID...it's not my MJ number. Anyone else notice this with their number?

sorry to hear that. You must have some other audio problem. Well, hopefully you can get your money bck. Frys gives you 30 days-or maybe you can sell it here. I just had someone ask me where to get one. You want to sell it?


I'm switching to DSL here shortly (from Charter cable internet), so I'll ...

Bought one, has zero positive effect.

Worked for me

So you have a stutter in the ring tone? That's what I have sometimes...hangup, retry.

Another test shows I'm 4.1 to Boston, 4.3 from. The other night it was 3.8 average. Seems like decent scores. The biggest problem with call quality, in and out, is choppy voice, cuts in and out. Also, folks on the other end say I sound distant sometimes. I can try a corded phone hooked up directly ...

So here are the results of my voip test, can someone help me with what this means :?:


The test agent could not connect to Boston using the standard SIP port (5060), but was able to connect and run a test to another location via an alternate port (6000). This indicates that one of the following ...
