Just a thought.

Joe Sica

It could be.. a new MJ works fine with the cable.. its so much better without the cable though.. much clearer IMO.

Atari Man

Yep same here, that is why I went for the powered USB hub. I keep my MJ and external HD on it. Never have had a problem.

I had a problem recently where I could no longer write to a Thumb drive. It used to worked, but stopped. Soooooooo I went to device manager and deleted EVERYTHING under my USB section.

Sure does sound like your MJ dongle is going bad, since another one works fine. I "assume" you have tried it on another PC just for $hits and giggles?
Best you can do is bite the bullet and get a new one and BEFORE you plug it in and register it contact online "support" and they can transfer your ...

Had a question for everybody..

This august it will be 2 years Ive had the MJ and up until the last couple months its worked flawlessly...

However starting with a couple months ago I noticed sometimes the MJ would just turn itself off and the MJ icon would disappear on the taskbar..

I could just ...

Your Magicjack files are corrupted. This will fix the error: "Warning: Must Plug MagicJack into USB". Follow the directions below carefully.

Unplug the MagicJack USB Dongle. Go to "Start" in Windows and click on "run" and type "regedit" and press Enter.

Locate the directory "HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE ...

im not 100% on this.. but what I would do is see what number comes up on your caller id on your cell phone.. if its your magicjack number then id say yes, but if its the originating phone number then I would say no.

something tells me that its the latter

I have a question...

Ive used the downgrade and it works great.. Problem is... everytime I reboot my computer I have to run the downgrade again... is there a reason for this?

also when you do the guests on the virtual machine can you use one ethernet connection for multiple internet connections of each virtual machine?

Atari Man

Thanks!! I'm going to try running 2 virtuals. If my machine can handle the load, it just might work. The plan is to assign a MJ to each virtual. I've litterally tried every tip, trick and hack in this forum. Vista is not my friend; I should have installed XP as my host. Here I go.....

Anyone else getting the "Lucky You" (kiss of death) forced upgrade?

It looks like the .dll version is 1.80.484.1. (The one from Dec. 17 is 1.80.466.3).

I run dongleless. So, the upgrade doesn't work. I'm reluctant to plug in the dongle and let it do the real upgrade. I'm thinking about blocking ...

Atari Man

Ive noticed late at night it works good on the first try, but during the day it doesnt.. maybe its a high traffic/bandwidth situation

check your firewall.. your magicjack needs to be set as a trusted application

Atari Man

im having this same problem

Atari Man

I had one of my MJs set up with an email account, but now I want the incoming voice mails to be left on a different email instead... I went to the settings and changed the email.. Put the new one in and even deleted the old one, except the magicjack is still sending voicemail emails to the old email ...

Atari Man

Im sure its old news to you guys (I havent posted in awhile) but I noticed there is no longer a one hour outbound call limit for me.. Instead there is now a 2 hour outbound call limit...

So I guess theyre making more money.

Atari Man

Make sure your firewall recognizes magicjack as a safe application. I had a simialr problem and it was caused by my firewall blocking my incoming calls.

Atari Man

Hey, just letting you know my cable got shut off for not paying the bill, yet the internet still works... it seems magicjack holds open that little corridor of 80k (or whatever) and lets the connection still work.. its limited though as your isp can block certain sites, etc.
just fyi

It's in my signature. I changed the formatting to make it more apparent (knowing that we MJ users lost most of our vision from viewing the MagicJack web site).

Atari Man -

Outbound calls are limited by a parameter in the software that is set when you contact the MJ server.

Inbound calls MAKE DAN MONEY and are not limited.

Answering other calls and stuff makes no difference.

Hey guys,

Ive seen people talking about being able to use multiple magicjacks via Virtual Machine software and I was wondering what VM software is best suited for this and what parameters you'd recommend as far as settings for the VM's RAM, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

The problem seems to have finally corrected itself.
