I got spoofing working but

1. The caller id name is whoever the number belongs to and not what I put in

2. If I call a number and get disconnected and call back my real number shows up some times

Is that normal?

Editing the hosts file is very easy, I would write a how to but it would get buried ...

2 days later on the 25th I replied with

Dan,

It's been 2 days, no response. The unit itself does not work due to updates. I am really questioning the wisdom of my purchase.

My number still needs to be changed, when can I expect a reply?

After reviewing your product I have a few ideas.

Sounds like a bad ps, if you had problems with one molex but not another that points to a bad rail in the ps. Bad rail usually is the tip of the iceberg. I had a ps in my tower that had a similar problem it would not turn on unless you unplugged it and let it sit for 15min then started up the second ...

*67 call blocking

I know I can setup a spoofer but with upgrade making the cj service so unstable I want to wait before I have to add another thing to muddle with when it goes out.

In the mean time does *67 work? I tried my cell and it still shows my MJ number, does it display when using *67 and calling a landline?

No sound on outbound calls

I was just using my mj and thought the phone I was using was broken there is no sound on outgoing calls I can speak but there is nothing coming out the ear piece. If i receive the call then I can hear just fine.

224 area code any ideas? I'm guessing it's upgrades again.

I scanned my MJ with AVG 7.5 with no infections reported.

I would not be surprised if it is a false positive. Someone with norton please check and see what you get and report back.

I saw the infomercial a week or so ago, it looked cool. I checked every site I could google and researched high and low. Seemed like a neat item at a price point that is amazing and they listed my area code as available.

I ordered and received it in about 5-6 days.

I would check your local $1 stores. Every time I have been in they have fake cellphone corded phones and headset corded ones. They probably are not great but they are $1. And the usb and firewire cables I buy there work flawlessly.
