magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

Isn't the bottom line let the free market decide??


Who asked you? :lol:

. I think it was a mistake settling on the exact prices as NetTalk, but time will tell.

I agree as side by side for the same price a human to talk to for C.S. beats a chat everytime. UNLESS it is "Dave" in India whom ...

Honestly the iPhone and iOS is great and all, but I am disappointed in the fact that they didn't expand to android and winphone7. It just seems like they're only catering to the mac crowd with this and not much else. An Android app would most likely get a hell of a lot more exposure than just iOS ...

I would probably say that the 10 dollar price increase is most likely due to the marketing and manufacturing expenses that go into making the pluses. Then they charge like 69.95 for the plus to make somewhat of a profit on the device so that they can continue to operate. Realistically they probably ...

Try using a linksys 10/100 Switch or Hub that worked for me. Problem is apparently the hardware only connects to older networking equipment, it wouldn't even show a 10/100 connection to my Rosewill Gigabit Switch. Let alone getting the mac address was a pain in the proverbial @$$.

Try completely unplugging and then plugging it back in and starting over. I had this problem when I got my magicjack plus this evening.

So yeah Magicjack+ did not like my Rosewill Gigabit switch even though it does 10/100/1000 just fine, I should also note that Untangle which is what i use as a dedicated Router could not obtain the mac address from the Magicjack+ so I had to hook up an old linksys router I had lying around to get ...

with cheap service comes personal responsibility.

I assume it'll have the same problem Vista has with magic jack, there are ways around this just search the forums or wait for magic jack to officially support it.

I agree just pay the $10.00

Could someone post a more in-depth walkthrough on installing and configuring with the latest trixbox ce version i believe it's trixbox CE 2.8.0.1?

Why would you ever want to go back to 56k!

Originally i had Comcast Digital Voice and all they did was check to make sure the line from att was cut and then they just plugged the cable modem into the RJ-11 outlet, more or less once i got rid of that modem and their service i did the same thing with Magic Jack and it's worked fine, i would ...

There isn't really an exact fix for this problem as it seems you're trying to use the same computer you have magic jack on. If you search the forums you'll notice that in most cases it's better to have magic jack running on its own seperate computer or on a thinclient or a laptop. The Magic Jack ...

Actually it could've been a number of things though i would have to say that you might just need a new hub as it sounds like the result of a bad hub or one that's on it's way out if you know what i mean. It could also be that your system is showing its age now as P4 systems are rather old these days ...

I'm running magic jack on a Motorola SB6120 Cable Modem and it's working fine, the only thing i can think of that would give you problems is either a router or a firewall that may or may not be blocking the incoming/outgoing connections from the magic jack dongle to the internet. I would suggest ...

When I get on the phone in another office, it stops my secretary from typing.

I'd get a new secretary.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
There will always be people like you, no the problem for him is that he should probably have a dedicated machine or a thin client to run magic jack if he's using magic ...

Awesome thanks!

Anyone have any ideas as to finding your username now?

I bought mine at Staples, but i've seen it at Walmart, CVS, and Staples in Charleston, SC.

Not necessarily you can use the word magic you just can't call it magic jack that's about it.

I have a few dsl filters from when i had dsl once upon a time, i may have to try that!

It looks nice except for it's price they've cut it down from 3 payments to only 2 payments of $49.95 sorry but even with all it's trouble i'd much rather stick with magic jack.

I've been thinking about setting up a trixbox myself and seeing if can use magic jack with it, but the problem is with current updates it'll be hard trying to find your username and password for the SIP info.

Throw it across the border.

That's right! We'll teach them what for! or at the very least it'll fall on a landmine in the dmz. xD

doesn't help that you can't use the tools to find your username and password now.

I updated the link see if you can find it in your router web interface.

So, I am guessing we are SOL then? No more updates, passwords and stuff seem to be encrypted now, etc. Is there NO way to downgrade the EXE's ??? It seems every time I check this thread and a fix has come out my MJ has already updated !

Unless someone knows enough of the code like Stroths i guess ...

Yeah from what i understand they only recently started the QoS settings in routers so if you have a router made before 2-3 years ago it probably won't have it in there even if you upgrade the firmware. If you buy a new linksys router its in there for sure, as far as the other companies i'm not sure ...

Well normally when you setup a router, usually you're able to connect to a web interface via the router ip on your home network and usually in the advanced setting tabs or somewhere on that interface is QoS or as most people call it Quality of Service.

For those who aren't too tech savvy i'd say stick with Linksys first, then netgear, belkin's alright, d-link in my personal experience would be the worst type of router to get. Though I've currently got an Untangle Box Setup as my router now, but that's only if you absolutely know what you're doing ...

I've read alot of things on this forum myself as i've just gotten magic jack recently. From what i've read though the best way to avoid this problem is as you said to either get another xp pc to solely run magic jack or to go with a thin client. I'm using my old pc that's running xp for my magic ...

In my experience with Computers, The Internet, and Programs that use both in general. Norton is the primary reason programs that connect to the internet have a problem connecting, Norton blocks everything under the sun.
