magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

May be a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer on Pageplus faq's. Are mobile to mobile calls free and if not are carrier to carrier calls free or do you have to use your minutes?

All minutes are billed, incoming, outgoing, mobile to mobile it's all the same. I've been a customer ...

Skype works great for making calls to others with Skype but they charge to call a landline so I would probably use Sipgate for that. I actually have an ata set up at my Daughters home (cell phone only household) using google voice and sipgate for my Grandsons to call me and the voice quality is great.

Final follow up, I've been using the TK for over a week with no problems and great call quality. My MJ unfortunately continues to have the same poor quality and numbers not going through, beeps during calls, echo and garble. I'll leave the MJ up and running for people that don't have my new number ...

I received my TK 3 days ago and am amazed at how much better the quality of the phone calls is. I haven't had the keep alive problem so I'm pretty happy with it so far and will probably be retiring my MJ and switching to the TK soon as my primary home line.

Finally received my TK6000 yesterday after the postal service decided they liked the box to sit in Philadelphia for 9 days! First impressions are that this thing smokes MJ. I made calls to all my problem numbers and they were clear as when I had a POTS line. I'll continue testing for a couple weeks ...

Good luck, when I call my Son's number it's 50-50 whether it will go threw or give me a fast busy. This usaully changes about every 4 or 5 days and when I get the fast busy I have to use my cell to call. I've had my MJ for close to 2 years and he has had the same number for at least 5 years. I've ...

I really doubt that anybody wants to help a telemarketer.

I ordered mine on the 3rd, card was charged on the 5th and according to their website it shipped on the 10th. I'm still waiting for delivery and the tracking the website provides says no information check back later.

Using it as my home phone line with comcast internet.

Did you try sygate? I block by ip address not by proxy name and it works fine.

My pc doesn't sleep when the MJ is plugged in.

I got tired of messing around with block route commands. I installed Sygate Personal Firewall (free for personal use) and just blocked the ips with the firewall. Now I don't have to do it every time I reboot and since I did them individually I can go in and enable or disable a proxy with ease.

Well the recent update pushed me over the edge and the TK6000 is ordered. I lost all my contacts and running the fix on MJ's site didn't help. After a lot of testing and thinking I've figured out that almost all calls I make to my east have problems and most of my calls in other directions are ok. I ...

I didn't change my internet options and I won't be changing them. My TC runs with no virus software and I can't allow things to install whenever they want. The point is moot now anyhow, I've decided I've wasted enough time and money trying to get decent service from my MJ. I've ordered a TK6000 to ...

Don't know if you are aware of this, but there's a fix on the MJ website for the contact list issue. I just applied it and got my contact list back as well as my call log.

Lucky me got the Lucky You update today and lost my contacts, the fix at the link was ...

Forward your MJ number to the NetTalk number, for at least the duration of the 30 day test, then permanently if you keep it. Depending on how much time you have left on your MJ, that could give you a lengthy transition time.

There have been (unconfirmed?) reports that expired MJ's continue to ...

With those kind of results, its gotta be something freakish.

Check cables, cords, etc.

Try it on another PC, try it at a friend's house

try a different USB hub/connector

approaching wit's end...

I have a desktop with W7 and a laptop with Vista and it's the same with them, but I understand ...

What router/software are you running? What are it's QoS settings? Can you give priority to the TC?

I have a Rosewell RNX-easyN4 router. I have Qos turned on with my TC set for unlimited but I don't think it matters since the TC is in the DMZ. My TC is running XPE SP 3 now (just switched from ...

That's the site I've been using to test my connection. My scores on the graph are always above the top line or just slightly below when I test. I have no other broadband options where I live without a live phone line, we can't get dry DSL line in my area. I wouldn't ...

Forget to mention that I tried that also.

I can't get my MJ to work properly for 25% of my calls. I have echo,garble or 1 sided audio on some calls. Some calls to some numbers won't work like my son's number wouldn't work for days although I could call from my cell phone with no problem and I often don't hear ringing when I call people even ...

Just wanted to let anyone considering a TC know this is who I would buy from. I just installed his XPE SP 3 kit in my TC and I had an unusual setup with an added usb pci card and wanting to block an overloaded proxy and he was right there to help with getting working.

I have this same problem at times and it's very frustrating. My MJ is 2 years old although I just started using it full time 2 months ago. I'm using a dedicated Thin Client. Can't help with the problem but at least you know you're not alone.

You could put it on rapidshare and put a link in your sig.

Search has never worked right for me in "this" forum. I have zero issues in any of the other forums I belong to. When I do a search here no matter what terms I enter I wind up with the same results. I have no idea why and I've never had it happen anywhere else.

Nothing wrong with any of my pc's.

The search function for this forum doesn't work, no matter what terms I enter to search I get the same 100's of post with no change.

I have a ca10 e100 with 512 flash, which image would I use?

MJ doesn't work on linux.

I was running magicjack on my TC XPsp2 and last night it started crashing when you would talk for a little over 5 minutes then say I needed to plug in the usb device. I tried unplugging then plugging it back in and windows didn't recognize the device. After a couple reboots I got it to work again ...

I was having problems with no sound with my magicjack, turned out to be my router firewall. My MJ is on a TC so I put it in the DMZ and now my calls are great. I figured if I had to open all the ports I read about here all my pc's would be at risk and since a TC is basically virus proof I'd rather ...

I have it installed on my Neoware TC. I copied the install to a usb drive and installed from there and then rebooted with commit.

Google voice invites can be bought on ebay for a little more than a dollar. I paid $1.30 for 1 for my daughter.
