Why is MJ Plus "destroying" power adapters?

My father-in-law's Magic Jack Plus power adapter stopped working on Jun 2014. Mine stopped working on Nov 2014. MJ sent me a replacement. It worked then stopped working yesterday. My MJ Plus power adapter is plugged into an APC UPS/surge protector.

Why do power adapters fail when used with MJ Plus ...

transfer of remaining subscription year/years

Is "transfer of remaining subscription year/years" now a regular option when upgrading to MJ Plus from a standard MJ?

The reason I'm asking is that the promo offer I got last year "Jun 2012" specifically stated "Upgrade to the MagicJack Plus...now transfer your current plan." The registration ...

S/H and extra $10.01 fee & MJ completes orders by itself

I just availed of the "half-off MagicJack Plus and transfer your current plan" offer. It was $34.95 + 7.95 S/H + 4.8% regulatory/compliance expense = $44.96. The total charge showing on the "review your order page" was $54.97. What was the extra $10.01 for?

The order confirmation e-mail I received ...

Thanks. I will certainly make sure I have a chat with MJ's "customer service" before I go out and buy a replacement.

And, yes, all tests were done using the same computer.

phone keys not detected by softphone; malfunctioning MJ

I know there was a thread before about phone keys not working but that was way back in 2008 (with no absolute solutions) so I'm going to create a new thread.

Currently, the problem is my cordless phone is not working with MJ (MJ1) anymore. By not working, I mean, pressed keys are not picked up by ...

Call log/history

Has anyone figured out by now how to open/export/print the Call log/history? I need to print my Call history for the previous months.

Thank you.

I would disconnect the MJ from the wall jack immediately. The MJ unit is not designed to receive ringing voltage through the RJ 11 connector. You risk blowing the MJ unit.

As the previous poster suggested, you should use a separate phone (or external ringer) for your door buzzer.

Thank you for ...

Building intercom/buzzer does not work when MJ is connected

I wonder if anyone has a similar experience.

My apartment building has a buzzer system that uses the building's telephone wiring (i.e., the phone rings when someone buzzes my unit).

I connected a two-line RJ11 adapter to my phone so that one line goes to the wall phone line and the other to my MJ ...

Call history vanished

Does MagicJack delete/expunge Calls log/history at the beginning of the year? I was going to make a call today and noticed that my Calls history is completely empty. I didn't delete it myself.

How can I get my Calls log/history back?

Re: Feature request - be able to change forwarding number

by accessing Voice Mail Menu.

I wish MJ has an option in the VM menu to allow input of a forwarding number so that it won't be necessary to access a web browser just to get to the mymagic webpage. Get a google voice number. It has this feature and many others.

Google Voice can only forward to US ...

Last time I had a landline was in 2002.

I currently use MJ backed up with a prepaid cellphone, which I keep solely for emergencies. I do enable unlimited incoming on my cellphone on days when I expect to receive a lot of calls and am away from a computer (in which case I forward all calls to my ...

I did a roundabout quick fix for it. I just set call forwarding to my MJ phone number. That way, it doesn't matter if Disable doesn't work properly. The calls will still end up at my MJ phone number.

I enabled call forwarding to my cellphone several hours ago. I then disabled it but calls to my MJ phone number still get forwarded to my cellphone. My MyMagicJack account page says that "Forwarding is currently: Disabled." I've tried ...

MagicJack phone numbers - listing info

No problem here but I'm just curious about the phone numbers that MagicJack assigns.

How did MJ get these phone numbers? A Las Vegas number is an Ymax landline (based on 411 info). That's expected. But, mine (IL) comes up as a T-mobile cell phone number. Another (NY) comes up as a Verizon landline.
