magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

In step 3, which service is modified?

Just plugged it in on my W7 professional system and it is working fine. Better sound quality so far (with computer otherwise idle) than what I had on the same computer when it was running XP. I did notice a slight delay when each party started speaking, seems more noticable than before, but much ...

Mine was more choppy than static, but whatever it was made regular use with dongle not practical. I tried the remedies in the wiki (at least the ones I could implement with my limited skills), but it didn't help much.

So, I was a 90 pound weakling, all messed up on MagicJack but still unable to ...

Darkman,

GV can be configured to dial your GV voicemail (from any phone) and once in VM, you can select an option to make an outbound call (for free). Therefore, creative GV users have set this up like a card number on their cordless and/or cell phones (and cell phones can also use GV as visual ...

ok, just found out from deshwasi that the dongle (or softphone running) is not needed, just MJMD5 and ATA and nothing else. Since then, I have been successful running in that configuration, even after the computer rebooted.

Does anyone have any ideas how to reduce echo on a SPA 2102? I have the echo suppression settings enabled under "Line 1" tab. Doesn't seem to help much. I occasionally get bad echos when making local calls (within 269 area code).

Not understanding much of the technical details involved, I've wondered about this question too ...

Does anyone know what the maximum registration expires setting is for the SPA 2102? I'm currently using 3600, been using 180 prior to the upgrade. Both were successful. I have "Keep NAT Alive ...

Thanks for the details. You helped me get my SPA 2102 running again.

I think you were running the MJMD5 as a service? Do we still need to have the dongle plugged in or run the MJ softphone dongle-less. Or can we just run the computer with MJMD5 and not have to also run the MJ softphone?

Posts in this thread (http://www.phoneservicesupport.com/ata-start-working-with-following-setting-t6897-75.html) seem to indicate that leaving the dongle in is required for the MJMD5 solution, and that the dongle can be used (on the same machine) without any problems. But I'm not clear on any of ...

I moved MJMD5 and my dongle to another computer on my network. Set that PC with a static IP address & pulled fresh SIP info with Stroth's utilities. Now my ATA is registered and making and receiving calls. I am not sure the call quality is any better than just using the dongle directly on the other ...

I had a SPA 2102 that worked well with MJ before the updrade. I have not been able to get it to register since.

I have tried MJMD5, using my current SIP proxy and password (gathered using Stroths Utilities). I entered my PC's IP address (with ":5070") and the current MJ password in the Line 1 tab ...

I had to change the phone type in Google Voice from "Gizmo" to home, work, or other. The "Gizmo" option is reserved for a specific service/ATA.

Actually, I haven't used GV much, but I wanted to respond to the OP's request for feedback from similiar users, and I continue to be curious about how all ...

These problems seemed to be resolved for me by putting my ATA between my modem and router (instead of just hooked into my router). Than again (and seeing no further related posts), maybe it was just a temporary problem on MJ's end that went away over time.

I was able to get my AC-211N-SR working, and it seemed to do just fine plugging into my router. I can't remember what made the difference, other than perhaps just powering down the ATA and trying it again after checking all the fields to ensure I had entered the info correctly.

I also had a SPA ...

I am a technologically challenged newbie, but here are some tips I can share after struggling through similar issues and getting lots of help from posts and pm's on this forum:

I'm not sure if you have your SIP info yet, but if not, I suggest using Stroh's MJ Utilities. Read through this ...

I appreciate all the help I've found here and the efforts of so many people on specific issues. Thanks.

Chip,

This was my experience re: phone placement (although with another VOIP provider) ...

I had some problems with call clarity when using my SunRocket ATA that their tech support seemed to eventually track down to being caused in part by my 5.8 cordless phone base being too close to my wireless ...

wstt,

I am using the Chicago proxy server, and I am having similar problems. More typically I have a dial tone, but no rings when making outgoing calls. Usually, eventually I get an answer -- someone just starts talking, sometimes some of their reply seems to be cut off.

I have finally got my ATA ...

I am able to verify my MJ (it accepts the code, using the SP dial pad, and says the number is verified), but GV doesn't forward calls to MJ (it just goes to GV VM)

Thanks Stroths. This worked for me after 2 tries. Doing the upgrade first and setting Path 3 seemed to be the key.

I tried it first thinking I was running MJ as a service, but I was really just running it without the dongle, so once that was sorted out, it was smooth sailing.

I don't think I could ...

I believe my ISP credentials (PPP?) are in my Router. I do not need to log in everytime. Ready light is on, but phone line light is not on, and I don't have any dial tone.

The screen shots really help. Just what I was looking for. But I am still unable to get my AC-211N-SR to work. I think I still am struggling with the basics. My configuration is I have aa DSL modem set up in bridge mode. A wireless router connects to the PPoE & has my ISP username & password to log ...

I have unlocked my old AC 211N SR SunRocket ATA (SIP version 4.60 US), but am having trouble entering my SIP info. My menu options and screens seem a bit different than most referenced in the instructions here and other tips I can find via Google. For instance, I don't see an option to disable ...
