Why didn't you post the link?

A wireless cable modem IS a router.

Have you tried your mJ on another computer without the 3.0 ports? Are we sure there's not just something wrong with your mJ?

mJ doesn't really have a bottleneck on speed, even at 2.0 speeds. Heck, even 1.1 works, IIRC. So while new drivers, etc., may be needed to make it work, the product probably ...

USB 3 is backwards compatible, that I'm aware, so use as normal.

Second paragraph, if you want:

As far as I'm aware, there would be no reason for Alaska state telecom to block incoming calls to their subscribers. The telecom would WANT incoming calls, as they then have to be compensated for completing them. It would be the party making the calls, in this case, mJ, who would block, because they ...

GuyOnTheAir

Hmmm. Calls to my former complaint number, 218-862-1000, DO route and go through this morning, from my mJ+.

However, still doesn't work with GV, which just gives me a busy signal...

GuyOnTheAir

Really old thread here that I started long ago, but got some unexpected email in my inbox this morning, that piqued my interest.

Here's part of an email from FreeConferenceCall.com, who I'd contacted long ago, complaining of MJ (and GV) blocking their numbers...

One of the fundamental conditions ...

GuyOnTheAir

Interesting, I got this note this morning from the people at FreeConferenceCall.com who I'd complained had their numbers blocked. Does it mean anything?

One of the fundamental conditions of providing telecommunications service in the United States is that calls, whether from a landline phone, a ...

GuyOnTheAir

GV with an OBI can do 3 way just like a regular Telco can. You can call both parties and initiate a 3 way , unlike the MJ, like Dave said, they both have to call you... GV on it's own without an OBi?? Not really sure but one can assume it can since OBi is using GV.. Maybe call with GV and then log ...

GuyOnTheAir

Always glad to help!

While I spend very little time defending magicJack, what planet are you on, ollemar? The tech chat is in the same location it has always been...

GuyOnTheAir

If by "integration", you mean "exists on the same computer at the same time", then yes, it's fully supported and integrated.

GuyOnTheAir

I saw this today at Overstock.

Seems cheap. Buyer beware.

I would not recommend this USB hub. I'd purchased two that look just like this from some other ...

GuyOnTheAir

Wow. That condescending attitude doesn't look very good on you. Geez. I asked you what you meant. I didn't need a reminder to use search. I'm very familiar with these forums, having posted much more than you...

Thank you for explaining. It's almost as if you were saying in your post that they might ...

What do you mean by this?

GuyOnTheAir

I don't see a way to create an account.

GuyOnTheAir

You may wish to just have your monitor go to sleep, but not your computer. This way you can save some energy, and still keep using your mJ.

GuyOnTheAir

What a flirt, joe.

GuyOnTheAir

I haven't had green since the big update along with the "magicTalk" vaporware talk a couple months ago. Have run mine on both XP and Win7. You just got lucky! Better buy a lottery ticket... lol

You're too much, Joe.

GuyOnTheAir

Perhaps some inconsistencies with your connection...

I'd reset your WRT and try a different ethernet cable, for starters...

Also, it might be fun to try and stream a radio station from iTunes or something and see if you get any drop outs...

Also, from Network Utility, you might try a continuous ...

GuyOnTheAir

Glad you got it working finally!

GuyOnTheAir

Hmm. I got confused, sorry. Meant to try different ports on the iMac.

So you have two USB hubs, and neither work? Do they/did they work on the mini?

You might have something wrong with the iMac USB ports, almost sounds like to me...

GuyOnTheAir

Ugh. Sorry to hear this, Steve.

Do other devices work through your USB on your mini okay? How about devices which require power? Have you tried a powered USB hub? Have you tried the different USB ports on the mini, and get all the same stuff?

Did you try the different profile?

GuyOnTheAir

There may be problems with the update, CO_Steve, however, I rather comment on your method of upgrading...

IMHO, it's generally unwise to just clone a disk from one machine and put it into another machine, even among Macs. Drivers are different, hardware is different, and I've found you'll often run ...

GuyOnTheAir

While I don't mean to belittle your issue, I don't consider the 911 location to be an invaluable/completely necessary feature of mJ anyway. I mean, if you're relying on mJ for all your emergency communications needs, um, you're in for a big surprise...

GuyOnTheAir

Which part of "unofficial" did you miss?

Believe me, if bad-mouthing was going to take down the mJ machine, it would have done so already. But you wouldn't know. You just posted two new threads, and probably didn't bother to read any of the others. And this forum has been around for how long, and ...

I can get this on a Win7 machine and a Mac if I attempt to start up mJ software without the mJ plugged in. Of course, closing the window just makes it pop back up and there's no way to quit this loop other than to force quit ...

GuyOnTheAir

While I'm sure some may argue, I don't believe there's anything you need to worry about on your computer. Yes, some traces of mJ may hang out on your computer, but I highly doubt that you'll ever notice, or that they'll ever cause any trouble!

GuyOnTheAir

Obviously this is more about spewing in a forum, rather than attempting to get legitimate help. You've done nothing that people have recommended, and continue to bitch. So, like crackerjack, I'm done with it.

GuyOnTheAir

the link not work ( not available )
:cry: :cry: :cry:
the website closed
all links you put it here not work

can you download it and give me the new link ?
thanks

Well, then, you either have internet access problems, a virus on your computer, or some other problem that has nothing to do ...

GuyOnTheAir

I would go to the mJ Web site and download the recover tool.

I believe the linky is: http://www.magicjack.com/site/downloads/mjrecover_setup.exe

Run that on your mJ. Then try it on your other computers again.

It may help if you're administrator of your computers, but in general, that has not ...

GuyOnTheAir

(There has been debate for years that without CRT monitors, screensavers are just eye-candy anyway...)
Any idea what the 'debate' concerns? Surely it cannot be about electricity usage as that is easily checked.
Back in the 'olden days', most monitors used picture tubes and they tended to be ...

GuyOnTheAir

If your trying to say that I am incorrect about the MJ and it's newest update causing this problem on my Win7 system, your wrong. My computer can sit for hours with the MJ plugged in and the screen saver will never turn on... but after I unplug the MJ my screen saver turns on after 1 minute just as ...

GuyOnTheAir

So if you have already gotten the recent August update, you may notice that your mJ shows Unregistered at the bottom of the "menu button" menu.

There have been a couple of ideas floated on what this means, but it's actually very simple.

If you "log out" of your mJ from the menu, a registration ...

GuyOnTheAir

Probably there is a corrupt or incomplete install of Office/Outlook 2003.

First, attempt to let the installer complete. If that is not possible, or doesn't solve the problem, then attempt to uninstall Office/Outlook completely. Don't worry. This shouldn't affect your settings, and mail, etc.

Next ...

GuyOnTheAir

I think this problem in head.

GuyOnTheAir

Sorry, but I just find the whole thing hysterical. It's the first time I've seen an upgrade that removes features.

They have done it in the past, remember the Do Not Disturb feature?
Of course the one time it was a GOOD thing they removed those damn beeps that made us MJ users sound like a 3yr ...

GuyOnTheAir

But on my laptop Win7 no amount of trickery will get the screen-saver to work. Normally I use a 24" desktop monitor with the laptop so now I turn the monitor off when not in use. Not convenient but better than nothing, or being 'on' all the time.

I'm a computer tech as well, but I've experienced ...

GuyOnTheAir

I've been waiting by my corner email box for days now, and am without food or water. I'm so excited. It's almost like camping outside of the Apple store waiting for the iPhone 5.

GuyOnTheAir

It's also possible that I'll get a legitimate check for a million dollars tomorrow.

The new software-only magicTalk, if it ever actually comes out, will almost undoubtedly work only on Macs and PCs. mJ has made talk of it coming out for mobile devices later, and if so, they might write a version ...

GuyOnTheAir

There are issues of software. And of hardware. So, officially, magicJack will never work on a current iPad.

Whether one can hack their SIP credentials, and install a softphone is entirely up to their tenacity and skill level.

But why turn your wonderful iPad into an ATA? Just get a thin client, or ...

GuyOnTheAir

I can imagine the tech chat now:

mJ: My name is Sarah, how can I help you?

user: I got a magicJack at Wal-Mart today and it doesn't work.

mJ: What is problem?

user: I plug it in and it took awhile, and then wants me to log in. Its says the magicJack has already been registered.

mJ: You need ...

GuyOnTheAir

interesting solution. Glad it worked for you. Perhaps they upgraded the device drivers, as they're changing the way the device shows up on your computer. And somehow yours didn't update properly.

GuyOnTheAir

have you tried clicking there?

GuyOnTheAir

This does sound like a strange thing indeed.

Are you able to receive calls directly to the magicJack? (Like call your mJ from your cell...)

Have you added, and then removed the number in Google Voice settings?

I have the same setup as you, and mine is working fine!

GuyOnTheAir

In some parts of the world it is already Saturday, Aug. 21...

with the new upgrade just now if im running mj as a service and shut my computer down, is that the same as signing out? because since i started my computer this morning my magic jack doesnt seem to work now. i have restarted my computer many times and it doesnt work.

My guess is you'll want to ...

GuyOnTheAir

I'd like to point out here that all of these articles came out on August 13...

It's the 20th, almost 21st. It's already "next week", and no sign of MagicTalk.

I will however, also point out that the MagicTalk.com domain now does redirect to MagicJack.com. Earlier in the week, this was NOT true.
