When I was able to use an ATA with MJ, it was fun to tinker with. However, since that time, I only use the DUO. And, I currently have both. With the latest DUO firmware upgrade, it has been flawless.

I will note, the DUO is a bit picky with routers, so if you are thinking of purchasing one, I ...

I still appreciate the folks that identified this vulnerability.

Netwoncd is correct as long as the tftp is off the vulnerability is gone. Though he is not correct about having to break into someones house to get the info in the first place. Brute force will try every possible combination of an ...

I thought you guys were joking about the $10K ... that is unreal.

Is "residential unlimited'' still 1,500 minutes a month (with both incoming and outgoing calls counting against the cap)?

newtoncd

That the issue, for $30 or $40 a year its worth considering but knowing 12 months from now it goes to $99 is a bummer.

With netduo or magicjack the longer you keep, the price goes down.

With VoIP myway, I honestly don't know what happens at the one year mark. I am only into my first month. I am ...

newtoncd

So being that you have both NetDuo and Voip My Way, how do you think they compare? Voip My Way seems cheaper in the short run with the special but what happens after a year?

For me, there is no comparison between magicJack, nettalk (the tk6000 and the DUO) and VoIP myway with regards to call ...

You might look into voipmyway. You can use your own device (ATA) and depending on sales it should be less than $100/year. Users report excellent quality and service. Yes, I'm a happy customer.

P.S. He's running a "Wedding Special" for $40, check it out.

Having tried Comcast VoIP, magicJack, tk6000, DUO and voipmyway, I would be happy to write a review.

In celebration of my fiance and I engagement we are offering a limited number of Unlimited Residential plans for only 30.00 for a year.

newtoncd

The Duo can be purchased at Walmart.com, only. However, you can either have it shipped to your home, or to the store (for free).

The good part, is being able to return it to a store, if you don't like it.

Whiz, do you have the duo? If so, what is your opinion of it?

I have magicJack and the ...

newtoncd

Congrats .... I finally pulled the trigger on this.

Now, what to do with my DUO and my magicJack.

newtoncd

But my test calls showed at least 50% of the blocked exchanges were no longer being blocked. So the list is more of a historical look at what MagicJack can do when it makes an effort to. I wouldn't rely on the list as either a reason to buy or not to buy MJ, since as Joe said, MJ is blocking and ...

I have been using my MJ well over a year now. I use it on my Windows Vista workstation which is bloated with tons of other softwear.

I can truthfully say I have not experienced any of the issues you list.
I am a satisfied user and would recommend it to anyone else.

I used to feel the same way ...

Wonder if they are going to block exchanges like they do with the regular magicJack. Thoughts?

$10.00 a month for 1000 mins?. I think it's 1500 not 1000 and i maybe wrong but don't think so. Could be as there were many specials.

Dudes, maybe the attraction of this VoIP service just isn't getting through my thick skull, but I cannot see how this service is better or even as GOOD as either MJ or NT.

They charge 10 bucks a month.....a MONTH ....MJ charges $1.67 a month and NT charges $2.50 a month if using the Duo and $0.00 ...

Thanks, BitStopJoe. I'd been calling numbers in a rural area code; that's probably what the problem is. Funny, the Magic Jack TV ads don't mention that a great many numbers are blocked, if that is indeed the case. It almost seems like they are positioning themselves to be on the defendant side of a ...

I'm just looking for a way to get google voice to work with properly with it.
They've known about the problem for 5-6 months and still no solution. I doubt anyone is even bothering with it though.

For reference, you should go back and double check your junk e-mail folder.

Not long after you posted a follow up reply to your thread on the PCPhoneSoft forum requesting help, we sent an e-mail to you offering to reset your magicJack license key for you. Similar assistance is also offered to ...

About the only question I can think to ask is, do you have QoS enabled in your router and what kind of router do you have?

newtoncd

There was nothing wrong with those results, Use the link i gave u let me see those results

They won't let me copy the results.

I can see them but there's no link to post them to here.

See, here are my results, but they don't show up, it just goes back to the start.

What was the QoS number ...

newtoncd

Right, stuck with verizon.
It was set up for 1mb at the time. They lowered to 1/2 that, then at some point it came back to 1mb.

DslExtreme is advertising $25/mo for 3mb in this area, which is a much better deal than verizon.
I wonder if the noise ...

newtoncd

The upstream is NOT good enough im sorry to say, Your betting switching carriers

VoIP requires somewhere between 80-90 kb/s and johnlvs2run's upload is at 380 kb/s. While it isn't a speedy connection, with QoS they should be able to be on the Internet and on the phone at the same time without ...

There are varying opinions about MJ support, and the MJ service. Mine has given me very few problems in the past 13 months, aside from some tweeking after another "Lucky you" update. Overall my wife and I are pleased with the service and the low cost.

Hi guys,

I had the TK6000 for awhile, but the issues were just too much for me.

I experienced a major garble issue when using the TK6000; I never tried the new Duo. I don't know if the issue is resolved as of yet, but I had to send mine back during the trial period.

In the end, I hope Nettalk makes it and ...

SOME bios's choke when they do not "see" a keyboard attached on boot up.. So your mileage may vary.
Of course after all is booted up one can attempt to remove it. Not really "SAFE" to remove a keyboard if it is a PS2 connection to the motherboard. USB ones should be fine. That being said I have ...

I, too, am trying with this idea. But I want to know, if I remove keyboard, mouse and monitor from PC, will it work. PLease help.

Your answer is no. The computer will complain when you don't have them plugged in. Your computer won't even boot if those perriferals are not plugged in.

I think you two are talking about two separate things.
