For those that are using GV already, how bad is the delay between dialing the GV number and getting your actual phones to ring? Just curious, i have used services in the past that took about 10 seconds before anything would happen.

Since I can't get a local number from MJ I use the local number ...

Google Voice is not a service like MJ. They have no phone lines. What they do is allow you to organize your phone numbers under one number that you select from them. It is all free.

I have been unable to get a local number with MJ since I signed up 14 months ago so I still have a land line for ...

My MJ is 209 487 - MJ does not have any Jackson numbers

I am the last "outpost" for AT&T 209 223 - the others are on VC , so you nailed that -
209-296 209-295

Tnx

Did anyone ever get a solution to the "No Busy Signal" question? I never have had a busy signal from any number I have ever ...

Interesting. I never had that. Why not just turn off the resident shield during the install and then turn it back on?

When i do that the audio sucks and when tested it with my cell phone the ring is just a bunch of loud noise.

You might try switching to Avast Antivirus. It's free and I have not ...

Is the memory upgradeable in ALL the T57XX (T5700 to be exact). If it comes with 192/256 - this can be upgraded, its not soldered in?

Yes the t5700 memory is upgradeable. In fact it has been suggested that 512 flash ram and 512 DDR is best for the t5700. My t5720 has 1gb for both but at this time ...

O.K... This board has been GREAT for me, so I'm presenting my next issue:

My husband is loving the MJ, but he's not all that crazy about the computer needing to be on 24/7, so I understand that something called a "Thin Client" could help me on this issue. I went to ebay and saw a lot of them ...

I no longer tell people I'm on a "computer phone"... I just make the call and talk. If they complain about echo or dropouts, I just call them back and say we probably just had a bad connection. I have two friends that still give me a ration because of problems I was having using my MJ with a ...

What happens when you dial this number?

When I dialed the number everything I said was repeated back to me. I was able to determine if the volume was indeed loud enough. My friend who had been complaining to me admitted his phone might need replacing ...

Every so often people I am talking to say they can barely hear me. Most of the time I can call them back and the problem clears up. I have tried all of the suggestions given by you good people but I have no way to tell if anything works. A few weeks ago someone gave a phone number to call to test ...

Hi guys. I'm looking for a software application (Freeware or Open Source preferred) that will help my parents back up their digital photos and sensitive documents to either dvd-rw (preferred) or to another Hard Drive. The best situation would be something that ran unattended on a schedule that ...

My MagicJack has been working flawlessly for eight weeks now, until this morning. No fault of MJ and I won't blame Microsoft for my mistakes. It never occurred to me that the automatic updates that I had permitted would affect my MJ, but after my conversation was rudely interrupted by the auto ...

I have installed MJ as instructed. The soft phone comes up and when I dial my cordless home phone the numbers appear on the softphone. after the numbers dial the line is quiet, nothing happens!!!! I call my cell to test and the cell doesn't ring. When I tried to call my new MJ line from my cell, I ...

"works LikeMagic" You'll get no argument from me on your comments.

As a matter of fact I pretty much intentionally stay out of problems that have to deal with noise, jitter and the like. There are so many possible causes even on a perfectly well behaved machine. The other one I try to stay away ...

What free virus scanner is the best? I currently use the free version of AVG 7.5 and the daily updates end at the end of May for version 7.5
The free version 8 is getting many bad reviews because the e-mail scan feature will only work for one month.
So, what's out there free to replace what I'm ...

No Dan, I don't want a job, I have been retired for twenty years and love it. No I don't need any more help, my MJ works fine and I am loving it. HOWEVER, I would like to have a local number with my area code. Then it would be perfect and I would really love it!!!!!!!!!!

I am now into day 4 with no problems. I don't know if thia will work but you might get hold of Chat Support and insist you talk to Daryl. He is the supervisor that walked me through my problem and sent me the files to work with. Good luck.

I had not been able to receive any calls on my MJ system. I called the Chat three times and they agreed it is not my system but in the MJ system and their engineers would fix it immediately ;-) . That was on the 13th of April. I tried everything I could think of and the next morning I tried ...

i think that the difference between your experience and mine (though the idea to write question in advance is a good one), is that just this past weekend they started using advanced tech support, to which, entry level techs can immediately refer problems when they recognize that they can't handle ...

I will chat with tech support and see what they say. Thanks for your help.


good luck with that. i chatted tech "support" this morning about calls not going through and they replied with info about how to access email. they're useless. in fact, i have doubts that there are real humans. most of ...

If your daughter was able to dial your MJ number from a cell phone once then I'd say that MJ server is having issue right now with your area or your MJ number. You may want to do a Tech chat with MJ to see if they could fix it for you or wait and the issue would eventual fixes itself when MJ checks ...

How did others dial your MJ number? 7 digits or full 10 or 11 digits? Does "dial from the outside" mean both cell network and landline network?

My son dialed with 10 digits on his MJ. My daughter and my son tried both landline and cell phone. My daughter got through on her first try with the cell ...

I can receive calls from MJ to MJ but all other incoming calls will notcome through. When you diial from the outside it says this call can not be made as dialed. Any Ideas?
