At one point I had the MJ number forwarded to Google Voice for a year.
No issues ever noted.

Copied from the e-mail????
"Upon expiration of this offer standard yearly rates will increase from $29.95 to $35 and for 5 year plans from $99.75 to $120.

My original one is still running both on Win7 and XPPro.
Hopefully they won't stop allowing the usage.
Have an older one, not renewed that I can use with GV.
Also have one that was never registered to back up the main.

Debbie,
Before we to too much troubleshooting.
Have you checked your MJ login page to make sure that
incoming and outgoing calls are checked as on?
And that the ringers are turned on on the phone?

Trying a few devices in the USB port to assure they are functioning
correctly might be in order here. Try a flash drive or two, make sure they
run correctly.
Then follow the MS suggestions to deleting hidden device drivers.
Hidden device drivers don't display unless the device is on and ...

Clay,
Win 7 has some serious issues with certain driver loads.
Unless they are specifically written to comply with MS's take on
DCMA they just won't load and run.
You may have to load a copy of Win XP under your 7 license.
Downgrading is permissible or try to run it under an Admin
account and XP ...

Clay,
Obviously you can't even remember what you wrote, see below.

"I have an HP HDX 9000 laptop bought in 2008, not new but not that old either
Running Vista, not the best but it's what I have."

Now do you remember?????

has9999

Well Clay,
Had you done some searching in the fora you just might have found
some things to try with your "Vista" computer.
My MJ's have been working fine for over four years now.
And others that I have set up for friends have been as well.
AND I fax every week too!
With your attitude don't ...

Good Grief,

Maybe it's the traveling troll from the TV ads...........

But it is an appropriate warning for ...

Except the "jammers" are ILLEGAL in the USA.
It is even ILLEGAL to import them!
The FCC just fined two companies using them
$140,000 and $124,000.
Not too sure I could cover that cost of ownership.

has9999

You definitely have a IP speed issue. Unless you are on dial up. And that
doesn't fit with the numbers you posted.

has9999

I suggest that you go back to the web and make sure that it is "checked" on in your personal setups.

has9999

Search plantronics for wired USB headsets.
They also have bluetooth systems as well.
They seem to start around $100 and go up
quickly from there.

There are hundreds of large and small telephone companies that serve large and small areas. And every state has different tariffs and taxes and such. An agreement with "X' and "Y" telephone companies has to be setup with each state PSC's. So agreements come and go and elevated charges come and go as ...

The 305 area code # is a long distance number unless you live in that area and that exchange area. The use of the service is "essentially" free, but it makes its' money by charging higher call termination fees to non-Y-Max telephone companies.
If you are a pay by call long distance customer you ...

has9999

"conference message is located in Newton County Arkansas"
That number block belongs to Tri-County Telephone, a small
rural carrier that gets higher call termination fees that Ymax won't
pay for. Get a Google Voice number and use it to make those
kind of calls to work around the MJ issue. Search ...

has9999

"I have 2 problems"
Just a little searching here will answer the question about not
connecting to phone exchanges. Where?
Need more information about MJ or MJ+.
How are you connected to the internet? What internet?
What router?
A little looking a a few posts may even help you with that too.

has9999

Is it possible to port my number to a replacement Magicjack Plus?
My Magicjack Plus may have fried. Am using a ported number.

Be sure that you contact the MJ chat before you ever plug in your
new replacement device. They can control the assignment for the new
device. It will replace the old one ...

Log back in to your MJ account online. Make sure you have incoming and outgoing checked. Then search here for router setup information. The green light is showing ethernet connectivity, the yellow light is an indication of data being passed.

has9999

There is no way currently to do that. Hasn't been in the past either. At one time the contact list was exclusively in a file on your MJ. But now the "clone' is kept at their site. You may be able to edit the file by looking in your folders and opening with Filealyzer. BUT it only holds 100 entries!

has9999

Their policies are posted within the TOS.
Subject to their current interpretation and
the mood and phase of the moon. (Or not.)
Just a bit of time on this site and you will not feel
quite so alone in your disappointment.

has9999

Tis' OH so difficult to show concern when long time users have
learned that the daily usage of the device is subject to change
at most anytime, for most obscure reasons.
The combination of MJ and Google voice is the sort of advice you
would have gotten had you searched a bit. And it works just ...

Just a bit of searching will lead to help with
port forwarding. If you are completely computer
illiterate send it back.

You "DO" understand that this is the"Un-offiicial"support site I hope.

Um, You Do understand this is the "un-official support site".

After a while windows kind of loses track of everything.
Go into your system device manager, delete everything
that has to do with the devices then restart and have it
rebuild all the devices.

has9999

Depending on which version of windows you run.
Open your volume task icon ( looks like a speaker) and adjust
the various sliders to a volume setting to your liking. Usually
you will need to adjust master volume and the wav slider.
You may have to open recording and playing separately.

Log in with the telephone number and your password.
Then go to subscriptions and make your changes.

If you want MagicJack to work across user accounts then you should look at running MJ as a service.

[quote="Tatoosh"]Mea Culpa! My apology for not being more specific on my questions. Q #1 is primarily oriented toward MagicTalk. Q #2 is about either since it deals with a future application.

I have MagicTalk installed on my computer currently. MagicJack is not. But I would buy a MagickJack dongle ...

Q #1:

I have Magic Talk basic installed on my computer. This is the "family use/study" computer and is used by multiple members of the household, each with their own Windows XP account.

I want to leave Magic Talk running and have it ring, regardless of who is on the computer. Is this possible ...

eg146:
You can easily have GV call both your cell and the new magicjack at the same time.
Look on your GV settings and just add the MJ as the home number. When called both phones will ring, answer from the MJ. If you wish, just delete the cell from GV.

has9999

We use the Panasonic KG-TX9 series three handset setup with integral answering machine and use ring-forever add-on.
Works fine every single day.

has9999

Have you completely uninstalled the magicjack software?
What is your operating system?
Did you create an alternate account as I suggested?
Does the thing allow you to make calls, even if you can't see it?
A little more info is needed to help here.

has9999

Having had sound issues often at the beginning two years ago, I updated the drivers from the TigerJet site.
This has almost eliminated all issues, other than the stuttering that always happens following a virus scan. Restart MJ and all's well for a couple of days. Rinse and Repeat
