laser - I know you are a knowledgeable person, but what is the source of this info? I'll be glad to see this product

May be you need to pair your BT headset with your computer again, after restarting. Some time, the auto-pair feature may not work as expected.

aone999

I know atleast 10 people who use MJ from India, and ther reviews so far were good.

A lot depends on the quality of the internet connection though.

aone999

I use a Plantronics USB Headset with MJ and Skype...and excellent sound quality both ways. I tried a Logitech USB headset tand it was very good too.

If you are using a USB Hub, try using a powered one. Always use a USB digital headset to get best sound quality.

The echo might be due to your ...

Mine stopped working some days back. Tech chat was useless - they said they cannot give me a replacement because I am out of the trial period.

I sent an e-mail to Dan Borislo (for those who doesn't know - he is the inventor of MagicJack). Somebody replied on his behalf. After a few exchange of ...

I was in a similar situation.

One of my 3 MJ's stopped working after serving faithfully for more than 7 months. I tried on 6 different machines, but same result. The blue light blips for a second and goes off. Windows says it could not recognize the device.

I had a chat with Support for a possible ...

I use RapidFax (http://www.RapidFax.com), and works good.

I don't know what your intention is but AFAIK, the MJ SoftPhone would not work without the Tigerjet device.

One way to achieve this is to get your MJ SIP details and use another softphone like X-Lite with that info.

aone999

I use a Uniden DECT 6.0 cordless phone with my MJ and never had any problems dialing calling card pins, responses to automated voice (like in credit card related calls) etc.

aone999

Go to the tech-chat and tell them you lost the MJ and suspect some body got it and using it. You may need some details like:

e-mail id used for purchasing
order number

aone999

I think this has to do more with your internet connection than anything else.
When I use my MJ from home (I have Comcast cable), I get the best call quality. I speak to people who live in different countries and use MJ as well as other phones.
But when I use it at work (we have a very good internet ...

I just finished my setup (total time - ~10minutes) and MJ is working fine with bluetooth.
OS - VISTA Business 64Bit
BlueSoleil version 5.0.5 for 64bit
Bluetooth Device - TrendNetUSB Dongle (My PC doesn't have on-board bluetooth support)
Bluetooth Headset - I have many, but I chose my Philips VOX ...

I have downloaded and installed the Soleil bluetooth program to my WinXPpro computer. Question:

When I click on the BT icon I get the following menu:

'My Bluetooth Device Type' and the following choices appear:

USB

UART

PCMCIA

BCSP

What are these about and are they choices I should make or ...

aone999

AFAIK....the bluetooth story goes like this:
Your PC on which you run MJ should have a built-in bluetooth support, or you should buy a USB-Bluetooth adapter. They are available for less than $20 these days.
The bluetooth headset / USB-Bluetooth adapter should come with software that runs on the PC ...

LikeMagic....it would be "Like Magic" if what you said is true....but I found it is not, unfortunately.

One of my MJ's stopped functioning after 6 months of use. All computers I tried failed to recognize the MJ device.

I contacted the TechChat hoping they would provide me a replacement....but the ...

aone999

I had this problem when I bought MJ (about 6 months back).

I replaced my old cordless phone (900MHz) with a new one (5.8GHz) and plugged MJ to my machine through a powered USB Hub, and voila....my phone started ringing.

aone999

I had this problem some time back. I upgraded my 900MHz cordless with a new 5.8GHz (GE) and the problem vanished.

Hi nayan2782

If you post once and cannot get a reply, better post again in the same thread. No need to spam in all the open threads.

Log-in to the User Portal: http://my.magicjack.com . Right now, it seems the portal is down (I can't access it atleast, right now), but it might be up any time. You ...

Some of these skins (especially the SJLabs default skin) open up new possibilities like changing caller-id and enabling conditional call-forwarding.

I just noticed the features - I didn't test them out. It would be great if somebody can test these things and post the results.

aone999

Have you tried any other VOIP service (like Skype or even Yahoo IM) from your PC? The problem could be your sound card.

aone999

Search this forum for obtaining the SIP details from your MJ. Then program these details into a soft phone (like X-Lite of SJPhone) and use that.

aone999

I did as it was explained in the first post of this thread and it worked

aone999

Why I have asked this question is, I have a T-Mobile MyFavs plan on my cell and GrandCentral number is in my favs. All calls from GrandCentral will be free.

So, I want to know incoming calls from MJ-->GrandCentral-->MyCell will be free or not.

aone999

Suppose I enable call forwarding on the portal. I will put my GrandCentral number as the forwarding number. My GrandCentral forwards calls to my Cell Phone.
Now, If somebody calls me on my MJ,

* What number they'll see on their phone?
* What number I'll see on my cell phone?

aone999

I tried to open the portal (my.magicjack.com) in IE7. I was able to login, but I cannot see my MJ number in the page.

To be more precise, the number briefly appears in the dropdown and disappears.

However, the page is working normally in FireFox 2.0.0.11.

I am on a 206 area code. Last night I checked fiddler and the password is still the same old 4 digit one.

I have 2 MJs and I forgot the login details for the second line. So, I went to the chat, and Richie helped me with the needed details.

MJ should work well anywhere in the world where you have at least moderate Internet (256kbps at the minimum).

I hear from friends that MJ works well in India. I don't know about Iraq, but if they have a good Internet connection (and the VOIP ports are not blocked by the ISP), then it should work ...

Super newbie questions here.

I'm using a WinXP laptop with MJ and need a headset.

Looks like I could use a RJ-11 (standard phone jack) adaptor to
a headset (where to buy?). Or use the two 1/8 inch jacks on my Dell
(one for mic, one for headphones)

Am I way off base here?

Hi MagicHack

Can you post the binaries so that we can see it in action?

aone999

MJ softphone is sending User Agent info (MagicJack / SJPhone etc) along with registration request.

If we use a softphone like X-Lite (and if they log the SIP registration details), can't they find out what we are doing?

Anybody figured out ways to change the UserAgent string in softphones like X ...

aone999

I am not receiving any voice mails since more than a month.

(Not)Surprisingly, Dan and his sloppy MJ official website/blog never mentions this (as usual)

I agree with this. Same thing happened with Vonage and SR before. When they saw that people are hacking their SIP details, they encrypted the details.

aone999

With the help of this forum and many members, I was able to get the SIP details from MJ successfully. Though I didn't use an ATA (and have no intentions to use one), I was able to successfully use ExpressTalk softphone and make a call.

For some reason, Fiddler didn't work for me. I had to use a ...

MagickHack....nice to see here.

Ho do you guys get the SIP info to use it in ATA and ASTERIX etc?

When I start Fiddler, MJ says it can't connect to the Internet. All I see in Fiddler is a server certificate coming from the prov. servers.

aone999

LOL, is it ever easy??? All I want is a simple way to bring MJ into the "infrastructure" (and take Windoze OUT, eventually) ... i.e., already running Linux boxes (and Windoze using VMware), would be cake to string a MJ off of it.

Or, would go for using a SIP device and be done with it.

The problem is getting the SIP credentials from MJ.

Many people here report success in obtaining SIP details using Fiddler. I tried today, but this is what is happening:
