Since I add a Nettalk DUO on my router that already had a MJ+, I got issues with both devices. When I took a look at the ports used by them, the 5060 is used by both. And I use port forwarding for the DUO to solve answer delay issue. As I see, because I forward the 5060 for DUO, and this port is ...

Great work you do! Keep it coming!

That is less than the cost of one years service!

Yeah I seen this app and plan on using it for my house later on when this MJ+ expires... but for my business I need 2 lines, one voice line and one Fax line... and I've heard that only like 5% of MJ users are able to receive faxes... while this Obi202 device does 2 lines and apparently accepts ...

has9999 is right. Set up a free (until the end of 2012, anyway) Google Voice number. Use your MJ to call GV and then call your husband. I've used this technique to call numbers that MJ blocks and it works fine. Get started here:

Step one in trouble shooting VOIP problems should always be to test that your LAN can support VOIP. To do that open a web browser which has javascript enabled and go to http://myspeed.visualware.com/indexvoip.php and run their tests on your LAN's capability for supporting VOIP.

If the results ...

I have a Magic Jack and Magic Jack Plus and can only get the one to work that has the port forward set up..

Anyone have any ideas?

If you cannot get MJ to work with your router (brand/model?) without port forwarding. There are a couple of things you might try.

Instead of port forwarding try ...

It appears that Magicjack.com is down! The website does not respond and none of my MJs are working.

Interesting was down completely.....now it is redirecting to the MJ+ site.

Yup MJ sucking hind tit again! Maybe that's why most say MJ sucks.

I will be in the Philippines shortly and I know many people there make successful free calls to the U.S.
My question is: will I be able to make free calls from the Philippines to say England or Germany etc?

Yes you can but you would have to buy international minutes. You would then be paying as ...

The GVjackapp works very nicely. I switch back and forth without even unplugging the dongle on ocassion. I just exit the GVjackapp and run MJ's Update to start up the MJ softphone.

I can also just exit the MJ softphone and startup the GVJackapp when I want.

Very nicely done!

I cant resist.... Ill play along... What other voip is half price of the magic jack plus... The only other one I know is the Nettalk and its around the same price..
As the other poster mentioned already MJ has no phone support.. So how would you call them for technical phone support...
They have ...

Well my test of netTalk's porting was a success. The process took from the 1st of Feb until today the 10th but it has been accomplished.

netTalk's web portal has the option to port your number (currently for free). Once you have completed the online form you receive an email right afterward which ...

VaHam

First if you want to keep your number do not cancel your current service.

Simply begin the porting by making a request to what ever company you wish to port to; in this case I guess that is MJ.

When the port is completed your service with the original provider of the number you wish to keep will ...

Take note of the area he posted to. Thin clients were and still are very popular to support the original MJs.

My question is why did you ask your question!

Try following the following instructions http://gnbi.com/T5710 . The instructions are for the T5710 so the OS file is different but otherwise they are the same. Be sure when you make hardware change to unplug the power adapter from the TC not just use the switch to power it off.

Does it mean that you said good bye to Vitelity? If so, what would be the reason?

Oh no I have been very happy with Vitelity and that is where my 40+ year old phone number is running. They have lots of very nice features! One of which came handy today. For some reason one of my PBX's hung and ...

Wow, so they got you.... :twisted:

I just ported a Vitality number I have to NetTalk Duo. There was no charge for the porting and the process was not bad filling in the form. You have to select a date for the port to take place 8 days from when you request the port so I'll let ya know how it goes.

I have used MJ for 5 years now without a flaw. Two weeks ago I purchased a new HP Pavillion g6 series notebook with Windows7 Home Premium installed. I got the notebook home and downloaded Bitdefender IS 2012. Next I inserted the MJ device in the right side USB. It went through a download of the ...

The wife and I have been on PagePlus for a year or so now and love it. We were both on their $29.95 1200 plan until this month when I switched to the $12 250 plan........left the wife on 1200 :) I am sure you can all guess why!

Most any phone which has been on Verizon will work on PagePlus so if ...

Done that; it is disabled and I didn't even know MJ or MJ+ had an iPhone app. I have the older 3S iPhone. One tech thought it was something to do with my old MJ account which is expired, that perhaps I had the IC calls forwarded to my and once the account was expired, it still retained that ...

I looked on voipo and didn't see anything about 5000 minutes. Besides, $149 is alot of dough to come up with at one time. We are moving to Arizona in about 9 months. e don't use hardly any outbound minutes as I have VoipMyWay on a OBi100 with most of the inbound callers using a GV trunk. Does Voipo ...

I am also a VoipMyWay customer when Mike ran it. The new owner has given me the unlimited residential for $5.50 per month with (I hope) the origional 1500 minutes. It seems that every month I have to renew on PayPal. When Mike had it, we only had to approve a subscription one time and did not have ...

They are great for business users but quite pricey for a home phone. Their web site breaths the corporate charm.

MJ promised and never delivered BYOD. Early on many users grabbed their sip credentials and very successfully used them in high quality ATA devices.

MJ then first started to use MD5 hash and a simple algorithm for authentication. Later they changed to a non-standard algorithm.

While this new ...

It is a sales tactic. You can have service for MJ+ @ $19.95/year if you buy 5 year plan

If it is like most of the MJ promises it should be available the second Tuesday of next week

Logon to My magicJack control panel and select your MJ+ line. Down near the bottom you will find 911 settings click on the link and you can either use the same e911 location you have for your first MJ or enter a new one there which will be used by the MJ+

One thing to check when you have problems is that your router is set to accept UPnP.

Has anyone tried spoofing a MJ+ CID and calling it to see if the mailbox is open?

VaHam

Hummm let's see 2000 minute reduction in service per month with their recent change of TOS. How does that stack up with the current perks being offered?

Their excessive usage cap was 5000 and they simply reduced it to 3000 which is a 40 % reduction. (40% of $29.95 = $11.98/year or about $1/mo.)

Actually OBi users have nothing to fear even if GV stopped completely. It may a cost a few bucks but there plenty of other providers out there.

That is the beauty of using a real unlocked ATA!!!!!!!

Have you tried just starting with computer on to initiate the login then hopefully MJ+ might share the connection. After it is connected turn off the computer and see if MJ+ keep alive's will keep the connection open.

Have you tried placing the MJ+ in your DMZ?

Can you confirm you have Sip ALG unchecked and UPnP checked on the e42000 Administration page?

VaHam

Try using the router's feature of ip reservations based on the unit's MAC address if your router support this. That way DHCP will hand out the same ip to the MJ+ MAC each time it connects and you can then place that ip in the DMZ.

VaHam

The best thing about the OBi it's not being tied to a single provider. If GV stopped free service there are lots of cheap providers which will work fine with your OBi. :)

Just go on eBay and see what the price of even a used SPA-3102 is and compare that to a OBi110, which IMHO a better product ...
