The CID in this thread refers to a FULL or Deluxe like Bellsouth calls it, wich ioncludes NAME and NUMBER, or just the number?
MY CID works fine, even my Directv box displays the calls on my TV but JUST THE NUMBER!!
BTW, That Directv box freaked me out, it dials out like 10 times a day and you can ...

but2002

Thank you MURPHY and BUT2002.
Yes I just ordered Directv about a week ago when the freaking autodialing started.
It makes sense now, my second Majic Jack is on the second pair and that is why never autodials.
How do you know those numbers belong to Directv.

This is normal, that's how it start the call after you finish dialing on the phone

:oops:

This will end all!!!!

USE YOUR DSL FILTER!!!!

Plug the dsl filter into the mj and then plug the phone into the "Phone"

Any body need one? I have 10 laying around!!!

Most of the homes in my area wire each room for telephone, with the end point being the telephone company interconnect box outside the house. I simply opened the box (It's designed for this), and unplugged the RJ11 connector to separate my home from the phone company. Then, I plugged my MagicJack ...

But how does that lead you to conclude it's an ISP issue? My assumption is that both of these computers are on the same network, meaning it's not an ISP issue, but a PC issue

I believe it's a pc issue. But how is it that is runs better on the weaker PC?
Just a thought- could it be that my ...

I just wanted to clean up and update my PC. So I was told the best way is add more memory and get rid of unused programs. However, i figured this would benefit MJ also. Clean PC made sense. But it's running better on my old Pentium 3.

You said your computer is much more powerful

You could install it on your PC, then follow the instructions on this site as to install it as a service. If it's installed as a service, it is COMPLETELY transparant, and cannot be seen, however the phone plugged in will work. MagicJack will also start ...

How do I set up my computer to fax through the Magic Jack. I am running XP (Home, SP 3 and I do not have a fax machine, just a 3-in-one (Printer-scanner-copier). I would have to fax directly from my computer.

When I try to use the Fax configuration wizard, it asks me to assign a modem to use. How ...

I'd like something cheaper if possible

Any other takers!?

What is a Cheap VOIP device that will work with MagicJack. I want it to work in my wired home with all of my telephone devices, and of course, I don't want my computer to be on at all times just to use the phone..
Thanks for your input guys

(Also, has to support shipping to Oklahoma City, US)

One, you don't need to be e-mailed if you check this topic regularly
Two, try unplugging the magicJack, rebooting your computer, and plugging it back in.

Three, DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS, IT IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING YOU CAN POSSIBLY DO

I call BS on this one

but2002

It's not a bug,. it's just simply not supported by the hardware (Yet)

but2002

This is the nature of the MagicJack. the MagicJack only sends the number, no names. Sorry mate.

(If your phone supports it, you could program a name to the number so it will display that name when they call)

but2002

Umm.. When you plug the device in, it should start up the magicjack software... That's how you aquire your information. If it doesn't load, check your My Computer, it should be the drive labeled MagicJack.

but2002

I'd assume that the PAP2T would provide the BEST call quality, especially if you route all of your internet through it, since then, it would always be the prominent device, and would always be clear

They say don't use a USB hub, because most are not externally powered and will not work right with the MagicJack. However, if you get a POWERED USB hub, or one that plugs into an external wall, then there's no problem, in fact, it can even FIX a few problems.

but2002

Glad to have helped.

but2002

I would try that, and I appreciate the response, but the problem remains after the xbox controller is removed/disconnected. That would suggest it is not a power issue. Again, thanks for the response. Any other ideas?

I still woulkdn't rule it out.

The drop in power on the MagicJack could cause a ...

but2002

I figure it's because the Xbox being plugged in while the MagicJack is causes a fair drop in the USB power supply.

I suggest getting an externally powered USB hub and sticking the MagicJack on it.

Take the port number OUT of the Proxy Address

but2002

Magicjack won't work with satellite internet because it's just too high of a latency.

Leave Display name Blank (You never know

)

Domain name IS NOT

"Talk4free.com"

it is
"talk4free.com"

Some things are case sensitive.

Also

on your Proxy, try lowercasing Columbus

Can I get a dial plan that
Supports 911
Supports 11 and 7 digit dialing
BLOCKS international calling (Except for US and Canada of course)

Also, does an ATA support inbound and outbound caller ID with Magicjack? XD

but2002

It's possible that your network's NAT keep alive is off, and the MJ is losing connection with the server.

Does this really belong in Rants and Raves?

Yeah, I forgive it too, but I'd still prefer to be lazy and not have to dial the three extra numbers

You COULD LET it install it as a Dazzle device, then when it's done installing go to the device manager and manually switch the driver to "USB Audio Device"

That is the driver needed by the MagicJack

but2002

I know
It's rather annoying.

It was a little humorous when a neighbor's friend asked to use our phone and I explained to her that she had to dial the area code first. She was like "On a landline!?!?!?" I never did explain to her that it wasn't a landline phone! xD

Is there a way to get the magicjack to auto-detect local calls?

Like for example, if my area code were 555 and I wanted to make a local call, right now I have to dial 555-123-4567

Is it possible to get the magicjack to autodetect areacode, so if I dial 123-4567 it will automatically put in the 555 ...

I registered just to say this

I managed to find a 100K ohm resistor in an old Answering Machine of mine, and works to power two phone's Caller ID, One 5 foot away, and the other about 60 feet away
