What is the proper procedure to transfer service and paid up time onto new (from the promo) MJ+?

I just looked and the official MJ site at their FAQ and it still says it's not possible.

I only get 1 shot at doing this correctly, please post what to do, how to do it.

Would make a good sticky post ...

TransferCutter

If you transfer your number and time onto the new MJ+, does that de-activate your old MJ or will they both work on your account and same number?

TransferCutter

I just got the offer too. I had told myself I wasn't going to buy the PLUS if I couldn't carry over the years of service I had already paid for. I guess many had the same opinion and they've now listened. Guess it's time to upgrade and buy. $34.95 beats $69.95.

TransferCutter

For myself I don't send a lot of FAXes but when I need to I have used http://www.gotfreefax.com/ on a few occasions. I also have a free inbound FAX number through eFax that sends any FAXes to my email. The free # isn't local to my area but that is of no issue for how I use it.

TransferCutter

IF...Dan was a good businessman and respected his customers, he would allow you to pay the difference of $10.00 per year and transfer over your remaining years.

But that's a big IF and the world's not perfect.

Blocked from Canada.
My home phone is Vonage Canada....got busy signal, could not connect.
My magicjack phone got through.

Not all 800 numbers are for North America. This number is obviously for US only calls. You'll probably never get through on your MJ Canadian number.

If you really need to ...

if we can transfer our current account and credit over to a new MJ+, then yes, I'll buy 1

That's the nice thing about VoIP, everything is local 10 digit dialing

TransferCutter

Yup, $10.00. Changed my number Sept '10. Went smoothly without any problems.

TransferCutter

I am going to have to try this one day. I have a defective MJ that they sent me a new unit to replace it with and I just never threw it out. It is de-activated but should work for this.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks. Not interested in a CDN number, just switching from Boston to Myrtle Beach

TransferCutter

I've never had a problem with my MJ, so that's why I'm asking. If I was to change my number, would there be any change to my service?

Also looking for confirmation that they actually are now charging for a number change and if anybody knows how long it takes to go through. Going to Myrtle Beach on ...

TransferCutter

When I signed up for MJ, I had read that at the time the Boston area had good servers and call quality was good.

I'm now thinking of switching to a number in Myrtle Beach, SC 843-808-xxxx

I need this number more for call forwarding so I have a local number from my hotel when I'm there. I was going ...

A friend has a mac and always has trouble with his MJ.
Look at this thread

Hy friend has to follow what's posted in post 4 to get his MJ working.

I just dialed the number you posted and got through. No problems. Revenue. Just dialed 1-800-959-5525.

TransferCutter

Thanks for the info.

Have read how so many have had problems with Win7. Mj is working perfectly and don't want to screw it up.

TransferCutter

I haven't tried this but maybe someone has and can advise.

Can you take your MJ from a WinXP machine, put it on a Win7 machine and run the upgrade to get it working - then put it back into the WinXP machine.

Can you or should I say, has anybody been able to switch from XP to 7 to XP and so on.

Haven't run mine on win 7 yet but as I recall, you have to ctrl-alt-del and open task manager and close it there.

Push button and hang up, release button, push 10 more buttons (choice is yours) and then say, Hi, it's me again, we have another 120 minutes.

I've been looking for a step by step instruction to setup on a win7 machine.

thanks

Now, for a question. This will get MJ working on a win7 machine. Can you and what happens if you switch back and forth to an xp machine?

TransferCutter

did nothing and it's back

TransferCutter

3 beeps and not going through and I go through Boston 617-208-xxxx

TransferCutter

I think it's time a FAQ was posted for dealing with the MJ and Win7.
I was searching for answers to a few questions so I would be informed before I plug into my win7 machine.
I never knew about this topic.

Anybody with experience care to take on the task?

This explains why when I went onto the computer that my MJ is plugged into, I had the login box yesterday. MJ is working fine for me this time (unlike in Jan) but I did loose my contacts and call history.

I have mine on the floor behind my chair and ran a KVM switch with a long cord to my desktop. I also use Teamviewer, as mentioned, to access the computer from my laptop. I also use that computer for downloading my torrents as it's always on and can download overnight.

TransferCutter

I asked about this months ago but got no response. If any are available and reasonably priced, let me know....or a link on ebay

thanks

TransferCutter

I'm using an old computer myself. In Bios, there will be a setting to restart on power restore, or some wording like that. It just means when the power comes back on, the computer will restart.

The big plus of a thin client as I understand it, is the power savings.

TransferCutter

There are many good DSL providers in Canada.

But you haven't specified what country you're in. It would help. Maybe fill in some info in your profile.

TransferCutter

I had trouble with my MJ with the 54GL. Flashed with Tomato and all problems were gone. That was a year ago.

TransferCutter

I looked into that phone and I saw so much negative reports, I passed on it. I went to my local Walmart and bought their cheapest corded phone. It was under $10.00. It was half decent but no call display. Although you have the soft phone. Any headset will work with your computers sound. Last Sept, I ...

Oh, yes, the SIM. My old Tracfone is a CDMA. No SIM. I can reactivate over and over. You did the right thing. Mail to a relative and then have them mail it to you. Now you'll be ready to go. Just buy your top-up, throw in the new SIM, and you're ready to travel. Good stuff :)

TransferCutter

Tony, I double checked Pinzoo. They also sell topups for Net10. If you have an old phone of their, call them and ask if you can activate it again if you buy a new topup. You might be able to be up and running before you go next time.

TransferCutter

I started years ago with a Tracfone. Still have it. Can buy a top up from callingmart or pinzoo, call tracfone and reactivate it.

But I switched over to Tmobile. Bought a SIM card on ebay and pop it in my regular phone when I cross the border. Have used it quite a bit over the last few years and ...

First off, I have Vonage in Canada.

Okay, for when I travel down to the US,

I set my Vonage to call forward to either my MagicJack or a US cell phone number. Now my Vonage can call to the US as a local call (either MJ or Cell).

Now for the question

A local call comes to my home, it's forwarded ...

TransferCutter

update - received my replacement today. Wrote them, giving them the serial number for the new unit so they could transfer it onto my account and keep my number and paid up time.

Will see if it keeps on running continuously.

Will post back.

Being in Canada, there are US network videos I cannot watch but if I run http://www.hotspotshield.com/, I can watch them.

See if it will work for you with your MagicJack.

you'll probably get more help if you specify your isp and country

I wrote them again saying that my MJ will not work. Keeps shutting down after a call and they have offered to send me a replacement.

I have been patient with them and just described the problems but did not ask for anything specific. I tried everything they have asked. I've been writting to dan ...

Do you have Google Voice? I believe that it can be set up to show your Google Voice number. You could forward your MJ to GV and then your GV to your cell.

I haven't tried it, but I think it would work

TransferCutter

Damn
