thanks Matt. I'll give it a try. For now i hid the mouse and keep board in a draw hoping she doesn't touch them.

I pulled an old Vetra pc from the closet and thought i would set it up for my mom with MJ. I got everything working good but want to run it with out mouse and keyboard. Just put it in a closet and let it run MJ. Here's the problem. As soon as windows starts it shuts down without mouse and keyboard ...

My thin client works great. I got it from Alpman on his Ebay auction. All setup and just plug in and working.
I'd like to get another and start from scratch just to see how it's set up. A real tinker box that i can screw up and don't care. I don't know how to get the XPe image to put onto the TC. I ...

callontom

Recieved my thin client today, Friday. Plugged it in waited 4 minutes and made a few calls. Works great and calls are landline quality. Very happy I bought from Alpman.

callontom

Just ordered one and shipping is free along with the $29.95 price.

callontom

Just bought on of the $55 units on Ebay this morning. Can't wait to get it. I'm running MJ on my IBM t23 Laptop and it works fine, but it would be nice to shut down and save a little juice also.

callontom

My only service and working fine. The past few months have been great. They must have improved the service. I forget i'm on MJ. It's that good. Love it and the savings. Five years for 59 bucks can't be matched by anyone else.

callontom

I've discovered two important things to do if you are going to use MJ on a computer you will be using for everything else. First , don't use file sharing software. Second use a program such as cclean (free at www.filehippo.com) for instance, to clean out old files and third , delete your prefetch ...

Hey, same as me. I have the MJ and Net10 cell service. Almost free from monthly bills. I also discovered that if you let Net10 run out and don't replenish for a long time, you still keep your number and months. For example you have 6mo left on the phone, but you let the minutes run out. You let it ...

i called a company that required a verbal response from me. i kept repeating it but the bot couldn't hear me. the touch tones worked however.

callontom

Hi folks, my MJ working great still after 6 months or so. My wife made a two hr call today and was cut off. She says just at the two hr mark. I say anyone who talks for two straight hrs should do community service

callontom

Less and less youtube videos against MJ and more and more for the MJ. Must mean things are improving. I have been getting excellent quality the past month. Somethings must be getting better.

callontom

my caller id is reading 3hrs early? and thoughts to fix?

callontom

no landline since maybe 6yrs. Had OptimumVoice for about 2 yrs. Until they charged regular price after special offer. Now have Viatalk, Gizmo Voice with ATA and MJ. I will drop Viatalk soon. Keep Gizmo Voice as main and use MJ for backup. If i didn't have to keep the computer on..... well you know.

callontom

They make their money on keeping the service running for the first year convincing you they are a solid product, getting you to pay for the second 1 -5 years, then overexpanding to the point where quality goes down and you abandon them. I swear the day after I upped for the 5 year plan, my calls ...

hey, just a quick note;
I have Google Voice handling all my voicemail now. I just made MJ one of my registered phones and extended the ring in MagicBeans . Sorry i take so long to test the features of MagicBean, but i'm getting there. This is awesome! For that feature alone, i'm thrilled.

callontom

MagicBeans is a great addition to MJ. I feel like i'm in control. Just recieved MB yesterday and got it up and running quickly. Didn't get much of a chance to go thru all the features, but just changing the ring to 6 is a pleasure for me. I also like giving MJ priority, as i use a seperate computer ...

callontom

yes, Ooma has their own forum and it's not without complaints and issues.
For those not happy with MJ, why not buy an ATA and purchase minutes with a company offering no contracts or monthly payments and calls are around .02 per minute. You can use a regular phone too. I have Gizmo5, and there are ...

callontom

i've done nothing and the beeps are gone since yesterday. Call quality seems perfect too. Hope this lasts.

callontom

I just foward my MJ number to GV and all my voicemail together. Why do you have to disable MJ VM? is that good or am i missing voicemails? don't tell me.

callontom

after setting up an ATA can you call out on a regular home phone or do you still need the computer? I know it will work for incomming but how is that possible for calling out. Google calls you then the Gizmo number, so i don't see how it would work. You would still need a computer to dial out .

callontom

I have a Linksys pap2t used with viatalk. I went to the IP address of the adaptor and logged in as admin. Made some changes, selected save, and it went right back to the old settings after I rebooted. Is this a locked ATA? thanks for your help. Tom

callontom

I finally got on invite, signed up and i'm disappointed.
To test it i set up my wife as a contact and when she calls the google number to ring my Magic jack, home phone and my cell. It takes forever. Like 12 rings before it hits to voicemail. I would give up by then. I'm new to it and just adjusting ...

callontom

I have Viatalk for about a year now. Can't complain. No problems. I have the 500 minute plan because MJ handles many of my lengthy calls.

callontom

They are right at the counter at Walmart by my Area.

callontom

From browsing the web and all i can read, i'd say they are here to stay. In fact, I believe they are just warming up. This company is probably going to put out more products. How about a MJ that connects directly to your modem or router. I see it coming. I paid for my 5 years because they probably ...

callontom

I guess the title says it all. I added more memory, had 1 gb now have 4 gb. I was wondering what role memory has it the use of MJ. I know the CPU is doing most of the work, but how does memory fit in the picture?

callontom

New to this all myself but here is my suggestions. Set MJ as high priority. To do that right click on the task bar and open task manager, find magicjack.exe and right click and choose priority, make high.
This will revert back to normal after a reboot.
There is a software called Prio. This will keep ...

callontom

First, make sure the supply wire from your phone company is disconnected. It may be your USB doesn't have enough power to ring all phones. In that case you'll need a powered USB hub, or cordless phones that have their own power.

callontom

they are in Walmart, right at the checkout, i was so surprised to see them.

callontom

How can i save and open the call log. I saved it to documents, but i can't open it.

callontom

I believe any VOIP service will drop you for excessive use if you are a customer with an unusual amount of calling. For example , the average customer makes a total of 2000 minutes a month. I make one and a half that, I would probably get a notice after a few months. Excessive use.

callontom

Going by a review, OOMa give an anoying dial tone for starters. Second, i don't want to pay $250 bucks for a system that was out for six hours. Third, I think it will be out of business very soon. But back to my original question...

callontom

I don't like or own an OOMA system, I'm just trying to learn about the different systems that are out there. VOIP is definitely the future and PTSN will be obsolete. But back to my original question, anyone have a thought, thanks.

callontom

I have been reading about the minimum requirements my pc should have in order to run MJ smoothly. But I was reading about the OOMA phone system and it is based on a linux computer. I figure it's probably a low end processor with little memory. How is it that OOma can run ok but we have problems with ...

callontom

thanks,
I added the exception and it's working perfecto.

callontom

My computer is not very old. 3.2 G and 1 gig ram. I have very little programs on it and uninstalled just about everything that came as junk. I don't watch . and i don't download much. I use it mostly for email. How do I change priority of MY Process? what is that? Do you mean MJ processes? How is ...

callontom

MY MJ has been running fine going on a month now. This morning I installed and antivirus (AVG) and afterwards, MJ sound quality went south. I uninstalled the antivirus and did a update for MJ and all is well. Is there something i can do to keep the antivirus program?

callontom

my whole house is connected. I use a Vtech cordless model 511, works great. Have a Panasonic 2.4 gz. with answer machine, works great and an old GE in the basement, also cordless and 900mhz. All work great. MJ is plugged into a usb powered hub. So far, three weeks.

callontom

I read somewhere on the MJ website instructions to remove the MJ once a month. What exactly is happening that this is necessary?

callontom

Hi folks,
I'm new to voip and trying to learn what i can. I checked my voip service providers spec requirements and they state I need 256KBs download and about half that for upload with a Linksys voice adapter to get a decent voice quality. Why so small a need, when i believe MJ needs so much more ...

callontom

Three weeks so far and i've called everywhere and it's working fine. Just like a landline. This worries me. When is it going to be choppy and problems i keep reading about?

callontom

What is the delete do in the middle of the softphone?

callontom

open msconfig and see whats starting with windows. I have a compaq computer and a program called "compaq connection helper" was the problem. To open msconfig click on the windows icon start and type it in. (Vista users)

callontom

watched it but it doesn't work on my computer. Again, I open my computer, right click or left click (doesn't matter) and MJ software starts again. I can not explore the folder.

callontom

yes i know that, but how do i get to it? I click on the MJ icons and it restarts the software.

callontom

HI folks, new here.
I got the MJ April 9, very fast delivery. I paid the extra few bucks. Later I found out it's available in stores. No excuse for ignorance.
Anyway It's working fine and of more than one hundred calls, only one to my niece began to get very choppy. I suspect it was a combo of her ...
