magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

I tried out the new, ground-breaking changes to Google Voice-- all free:

1. A softphone.
2. You can call any type of phone in the US or Canada, from your computer.
3. If you keep Google Chat running in the background, your computer will ring when people call you from their computer or from any type ...

Installing a FemtoJack is like setting up a mini cell tower in your home; an additional source of harmful electromagnetic radiation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnCnmHK5KTA

I'll stick with my regular MagicJack. (BTW, I've eliminated WIFI from my home. All internet connections are now wired).

Talking Caller ID works now, after adjusting settings in Control Panel.

Have you considered my earlier suggestion regarding suppression of popups? This would especially be useful when Talking Caller ID is used, to prevent calls from interfering with your visual use of the computer, but hearing who ...

Redpepper, more suggestions:

1) The speed dial display can eliminate the need to use MJ's contacts list, and all speed dial entries can be kept completely private from MJ. If you click on a speed dial number (SD#) it places the call. Then add an additional display page for speed dial #’s 101 thru ...

Redpepper, could you reduce the loudness of the beep tone that is heard every 15 seconds in Call Record? In the past when my calls have been recorded (like by a stockbroker) the beep tone has been much softer, so you could still hear the other party despite the beep.

By the way, one of my remaining ...

The 2000mA USB hub has 4 USB jacks, and a constant 500mA is delivered to each USB. See my post near the bottom of this page: http://www.phoneservicesupport.com/mj-ready-thin-clients-on-sale-now-from-just-55-55-shipped-t7872-45.html

But I decided to hold off buying any USB hub or thin client. Things ...

This person has his TK6000 set up for whole house use, and his 5 phones operate with no problems: http://forum.nettalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=460

I'm still trying to find out if my Actiontec M1424WR router (that was for FIOS internet) will work with the TK6000.

Now if TK6000 could just solve the ...

(1) Has anyone tried the TK6000 for whole house use? Like with MJ, you could plug the TK6000 into the wall phone jack (making sure phone co. line is disconnected first). We know that with a 500mA USB a MJ can power up to about 4 phones. How many mA goes into a TK6000 (stepped down from a/c)?

(2) If ...

Thin clients and USB power:

(1) If I buy a thin client: a) more USB power will be available for the MJ (even without a power boost) since more of the USB's are unused, but I'll still probably have to buy the powered hub for whole house MJ use (and won't be able to share that hub with the main ...

I bought MagicfeaturesPlugin, and am thrilled that future upgrades will include: Manual Call, Virtual Tape Recorder, and Reminder Call With Memo!

I called in my order at (800)903-4152 where (unlike the online order page) they accepted my credit card even though I have a free email account ...

Another request, again using the telephone as a computer mic:

VIRTUAL TAPE RECORDER: Pickup any phone in the house, dial *9, start speaking (dictation) into the phone, and your computer saves this voice dictation as a file. Useful for writers, and for making to-do lists on the fly.

This is ...

Thin clients and USB power- see post below

Redpepper, how about adding a feature where the telephone's mic can be set to serve exactly the same function as a regular mic plugged into the mic jack of the computer, and the telephone's speaker can be set to serve exactly the same function as a regular speaker plugged into the speaker jack of ...

I've completed the switch to Comcast, and can confirm that I'm getting the 6mb service (tests at about 5mb during peak use time of day). So the rep. was correct-- the lowest nominal speed that a Comcast customer can get is 6mb, even if they sign up for the "economy internet" service that specifies a ...

...per month for 1 year, now thru June 12, 2009.

The only catch is that the internet is only at "economy" speeds. Comcast economy speed was adjusted up to 1mb on Nov. 24, 2008, according to a press release, but informally (with a "wink") Comcast reps are saying I will get the 6mb anyway. However ...

The upgrade improved sound, at the expense of reducing power coming out of the USB and affecting functionality.

See my posts in the RJ-11 thread for how I know this.

Should there be a new toggle in the MJ menu to allow the user to select either upgraded sound or have the (pre-upgrade) amount of ...

I wondered if the USB signal was not as strong after the upgrade. It makes sense, but I wonder if there is solid evidence that this is what is happening? Yes, I have solid evidence. I have MJ hooked up to my house telephone wiring that worked fine with three phones before the MJ upgrade. After the ...

The MJ upgrade sends a weaker signal out of the USB than before!

So this is probably the cause of many of the upgrade problems in the various threads, from no ringtones, no caller id, and expensive phones no longer working.

I found out the upgrade reduces the power of the signal coming out of the USB, so there is probably not enough power for your caller id display.

I used MJ through my house wiring with three phones, and I had to unplug one of the phones to get the other two phones to continue to ring, after the ...

MJ was upgraded, and the phones no longer rang.

I unplugged one of my three phones (I have MJ hooked up to my house wiring), and the other two phones now ring! Just turning off the ringtone to my third phone wasn't good enough; I had to unplug the phone.

So the upgrade reduces the power coming out ...

Kids can be rough on the headsets. I've gone through two already. I bet there would be demand for a simple adapter to let any ordinary telephone be a computer's microphone and speaker.

My regular telephone is already plugged into my MJ, which is plugged into my computer USB. If I go to a webinar on the internet, can I use my regular telephone to listen and talk during the webinar? Can this be done instead of buying a headset?

If not through the MJ, is their another adapter, using ...

Do I put this .bat file in startup?

I like the plain GE phone (about $6.00 at Target). Especially if you have MagicJack go through your house wiring, since this phone draws very little current. Also has the "flash" button for call waiting. The base "phone holder" can be completely separate from the cord, so the cord can go directly ...

Where do you put this code?
