My mj just went down as well yesterday. When I try it with mjmd5 and x-lite I get "registration error: 408 - Request Time out." I'm a bit hesitent to put the dongle in and check for a new password though..

Edit: Now I'm getting the 401 error. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

*Your poor to unintelligable voice quality on outgoing calls.

It`s generally caused by low-cost hardware used in telephone adapter. Sound quality is so good (ofc not 100% clear but for this price is ok) using programs like X-lite or ATA adapters.

You seem like a nice helpful person. However I ...

I object to:

*Your keeping my address book on-line.

*Your keeping my call log on-line.

*Your keeping a list of my Favorites links on-line.

The first three objections I regard as an invasion of my privacy. The last one resulted in the ...

you may want to check TK6000 from nettalk ..... http://www.nettalk.com/

I would heartily agree with this recommendation! I've had MJ since July 2007 but when MJ made it difficult to run an ATA and the sound was so garbled as to be useless I put it in the drawer. When the TK6000 from netTalk ...

I had spa2102 running great since last december, and it stopped working (reg. failed) last week. So I dusted off the magicjack, and it did an update. After that, I extracted the new password(using sipdump, had to jump thru hoops but finally got the passwd).

I am still failing to register using ...

TOF... I wasn't sure right off which side you were taking 'cause the quote function didn't come through properly. But, respectfully, I think a lot of these discussions are like arguing which is better, a Ford or a Chevy. I haven't tried the TK6000 since I'm kind of done throwing $$$ at various voip ...

TOF

You might also want to mention they don't offer LNP either. Nor do they own any nationwide infrastructure that is capable of generating revenue like Ymax.

If not needing a PC really floats your boat, you can just provision your MJ sip details on a $50 ATA like many people.

I can see the initial ...

I'll be referring to this thread.

So is there an updated way to do this? The method mentioned in this thread is out of date.

Maybe you could try it and see if you can help the rest of us?

Could it be that nobody can find the SOB since the last upgrade? Seems that several of us have not found it yet.

TOF

It still works, but it can be a pain figuring out the delay amount needed. I just posted an updated (beta) version of SIP Info. Check it out and see if you have any better luck. If not, you can still run the one from magicjackhacks website.

Thanks for your effort but anyone with a little patience ...

I just tried mine. First time it found no data. Second time it found it just as it existed in early July. Tried the update and it said I was running the latest "4/10/2009". So maybe try it more than once or even four times?

TOF

To find out why it doesn't respond correctly, use wireshark to capture the traffic from the SPA2102 to your MJMD5 proxy and on to the MJ proxy and back. To use wireshark, you will need to set up a bridge connection in a PC. A bridge connection consists of two network cards, one connected to the ...

Newbie here. I have my SPA2102 working well behind my router with MJMD5 running on a PC in the same network. It's set up on Bridge mode which effectively disables the router functions of the SPA2102. On Bridge mode, only its VOICE functions work and it works only as an ATA like the PAP2.

TOF,

I registered SPA2102 (firmware 5.25, latest) with no problems using WRT54GS DD-WRT Router. I put my ATA after the router and specified 192.168.1.1:5070 in the proxy field. You need to make sure your proxy is running properly. To check, you can telnet into the router and type "top" and you ...

I had a SPA 2102 that worked well with MJ before the updrade. I have not been able to get it to register since.

i just setup a new MJ yesterday and i cant get it to work either. my older one works fine with my PAP2. i have noticed that when obtaining SIP stuff with Stroth's utility, the user-agent is diff on the 2 MJ's (more current version on the newer MJ). is that something i should be concerned about ...

I have been waiting for MagicJack to be able to port numbers for 18 months. Every time I chat with tech support I get the same answer which is "you will be able to port your number soon". MagicJack has a loose interpretation of the word soon.

Yes, I'm having that problem. In the "early days" my voicemail worked very well. I only started checking it again about a month ago so I don't know how long it's been kaput. Doesn't work but I'm not concerned with it.

If it works, is definitely useful for travel and laptops. I may give it a try and see what happens.

I followed the instructions (both parts) and it works on my laptop.

Normally, MJ keeps your contact list and some other stuff on its USB drive, so the data is available when you move the MJ from one PC to another. The workaround suggested puts it on the hard drive instead. Also, running magicJack.exe directly bypasses automatic software updates; if possible, it's ...

Have you tried reformatting the removable disk? If you can't get that part to work, starting magicJack.exe from a properly crafted shortcut should make the pseudo CD and USB disk unnecessary. Target something like "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\mjusbsp\magicJack.exe ...

No problems here in 512 A/C with Sprint or ATT in calling my MJ number. Don't even have to dial the A/C. So it seems if it's a problem with Sprint it's not universal.
