anyone was successfull with the asterisk solution with whistlephone? Seems it works just great but I havnt figure yet out how to configure the darn thing. Tried the incredible PBX (freePBX) and the FusionPBX (freeswitch). Both register with all 4 servers but incoming calls give the infamous "...I'm ...

Anyone got it to work on asterisk? It appears that if you code it to register on all 4 whistlephone servers (prox1, prox2 etc), you are good to go. Anyone has the step-by-step instructions on how to? Thanks

Anyone has bought the OBi110 and installed it? Would you mind sharing your findings here? Thx

stav

Anyone found a solution to the infamous "I'm sorry but I cannot connect your call" with WP on ATA? I have an open ticket with them, but have no big hopes. It would seem that people have kind of resolved the issue using asterisk but I'm not ready to go that path due to the learning curve.

Even though Whistle doesn't officially support the use of an ATA, the incoming call problem also exists on the Windows client. I have a thread open in the Whistle forum, the latest is that they are blaming the problem on my router. :evil:

Can you guys do a test with the Windows client running ...

They must have pushed anther update lately, cause my TC is crawling now and have many more dropped calls. Anyone else has the same problem here? Anyways, I guess I'm going back to the 24/7 laptop solution, I have an Celeron Toshiba in the attic somewhere...

Usually the recommended solution for call quality is a powered USB hub (or PCI card in desktop machines). But, I've never known the HP thin clients to be short of power. It is something to try though.
I tried that sometime ago without very good results. Hmm... seems like more tweaking of the ...

is it possible to port a number out and still keep mj working with a different number or is the only way to port out to kill your mj service 100% - reason iasked is cuz im paid up 4 awhile
My experience with a cell phone provider is that when you port out, you basically stop the service with them ...

stav

OK, here are ny findings.
Call quality is just fine for outgoing calls. Incomig calls quality more than poor (when I succede to answer them..).
Set priority to high on TC didnt change much.
Also,
Noticed that there is a QoS in XPe that's disabled. I did enable it and started it but no better results ...

stav

Yes, noticed that. I also noticed that when I get a call or when I call out, the cpu jumps to almost 100% and stays there for quit some time, then back down around 47-50% and then up. I have 1GHz cpu and most of the related threads in this forum believe its OK for MJ. Also, when I set priority to ...

Try setting the priority for MagicJack.exe to High.

Kevin,
I'll try it tomorrow. I suppose this tuning takes place it in the TC's admin tools somewhere or maybe in the router?
Thx for helping

Great, it seems there is at least some discussions around the topic. It has been dead for sometime now. I'm not a programmer, so cannot help here but I believe az1324 can, if someone can bring him back to this forum.

I second that, GVout running on dd-wrt for example would be ideal. Anyone?

Agree. MJ is slowly but surely screwing up his competitive advantage. I have 2 MJ and both expire middle of next year. Then bye-bye MJ and I'm thinking to get the DUO. I have no spare PC to live on all the time and the TC5700 is having its own issues as well. We are using our cellphones for most of ...

Its a Transmeta Crusoe at 1GHz have uninstalled all Altiris routines and running only MJ on it. I still have around 650MB of free HDD (Transcent) on 1GB total and 512MB RAM.

I have had my MagicJack for about 40 days now and am already looking at a thin client. Is it possible to have TeamViewer added onto the thin client? I prefer this to Remote Desktop. I am also looking at maybe using the TC to be a print server. I guess I would then need the TC to have 2 USB ports ...

stav

I was using the TC5700 (512/1GB) a year ago to run MJ, then switched to ATA/MJMD5 and never looked back. But now, with the new MJ updates, ATA is not working anymore, so I'm back to TC setup. The problem I have is poor quality (compared to ATA) and broken calls, ie. answer the incoming call but no ...

MJForumUser,
Wonderfull info,..!! Thanks so much for sharing with us. There is alot of material to study, understand and try here. Now that MJ is slowly fading out of our sight, its time to look to alternatives like Google Voice.
Thanks again for sharing

To be interested to the masses, your SIP service would have to:

Max $1/m and 1c/min inbound and outbound is the current standard for many VOIP providers. If you want to go unlimited, VOIP.ms has a $4.95/m flat, max.3500 incoming min/m.
Not an expert on voip by far, but MJ has a relatively good ...

stav

i'm parting ways with magicjack myself. their whole business model mirrors a ponzi scheme. i don't think they ever anticipated their customers to actually use their service as a replacement of a regular landline.
anyway, i didn't want to retire my linksys pap2 ata, so i've been looking around and ...

stav

Same here,
ATA down last week, retrieved new PW and up and running for 4 days. Today down again, PW has changed again and this time ATA doesnt work with the new PW.
Running MJMD5 on DD-WRT. Back with dongle but quality is by far not as good as with ATA.
Any guru left in the forum to help?

My password changed but my SIP stayed the same. Still unable to login using ATA/MJMD5 on DDWRT.
Too bad, back to the good-old-dongle/PC type of s..t, till some guru in this forum figures out the solution to this new challenge. If not, that would be the end of my 2 year MJ experience.

stav

Both my MJs dd-wrt/MJPROXY//ATA stopped working today, after a year of faithful service. Anyone has same problem this morning? Let's hope thats a server issue and not something else that would need more work on to be fixed. I already spent hundreds of hours working on these MJs.

Any updates on this?
Look at this post here: http://www.phoneservicesupport.com/magicbeans-more-magic-for-your-jack-the-original-t5919.html or search for Magicbeans and/or vdot (author). Not sure it does all you need though. I dont use it myself (use ATA/MJMD5) but remember reading good reviews on ...

Folks, I may have a solution that works for me.
Under "Regional" down towards the bottom of the admin page, there is a ref "Callee on Hook Delay". It sounded like it could help my problem and I changed it from 0 to 1. From then on it works fine its been about 3 days now and about a dozen of answered ...

Changed the line cord but this didnt resolve the issue. Tried the "sinusoide" solution but unfortunately it was already configured that way so this is not it.

I'll change the line cord and see if the situation gets better, if not I'll try your suggestion #2.

Stroths utilities wont work anymore for new MJs. Try password finder 2.1, just do a search in this forum.

you can use it with an ATA like PAP2T/MJMD5 or with a thin client like HP TC51xx. Go though the threads on each one, there is a wealth of info. good luck ...
BTW, my both MJ work just fine with PAP2T/MJMD5, as fine as are my $$$ in my pocket instead in ATT's deep pockets.

Thanks for the quick answer.
I should have added that I'm running MJ via DD-WRT/MJMD5 on PAP2T. By far not an expert but I have a feeling that MJMD5 being a proxy, one could hide the CID. Not sure how though. What's your opinion on that?
Thanks

Can you help me configure mine, I am having problems ...
