magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

Hi,

I posted elsewhere in the forum that my Magicjack will only ring one phone of 2 connected. I have a leftover DTA-310 from Packet8 VOIP service. That would ring more than one phone (the same phones I'm now trying with MJ). Can I connect the MJ into the DTA somehow to give it the extra power to ...

Does your desk phone have its own power supply, or does it suck all of the power from the phone line? Do you have the option of connecting an external power supply to this phone for powering the memory buttons and speakerphone?

It uses phone line power, and 3 AAA batteries, but not sure what the ...

I wanted to make sure it was for external phone only ...

Hi,

I just bought the MJ a couple days ago at Best Buy, and been trying to hook it up. I have a "standard" type wired desk phone REN = 1.0B, and a 900 Mhz cordless with a REN of 0.5B.
