Go there and enter your router then Magicjack app and it will show you exactly how to do it.

I agree.....AWESOME web site.

Hey Admin, if you notice this, perhaps this link should be in the FAQ's?

There are 4 ea 1.2 ghz magic jack ready HP thin clients up on ebay to end this Sunday. I wanted to get one myself but don't have the funding just yet. Looks like a descent deal, since it has the capability to run the extra software as well. Read description for details.

Magicfeatures Plugin [Release 2.08] is now available for download.

In response to numerous user requests, the release adds support for the new MJ PLUS (when used with a computer).

OUTSTANDING! I was wondering / hoping you guys would do that. Not that I need it right now but SOMEday, my original ...

V-Man

Great. Glad it's finally working for you.

Of the three thin clients (5700, 5710 and 5720, the 5700), the 5700 is the only version that needs the extra driver. If you ever decided to upgrade, the 5710 (imho) is the best of the three for a magicJack client. It boots faster, the processor typically ...

Try your MJ on another computer. If it works, you have probs with your thin client. If it still doesn't work and the symptoms are the same, try talking to the MJ Chat help people. If they can't clear the problem and you can convince them your MJ has gone bad, they'll send you another one for $10.

After reading around, I was under the impression that the HP t5700 and t5720 would use the same flash memory module. I had a t5700 with 256F/512R that I was trying to make work, but I found a great deal on a t5720 wiht 512F/256R. Both of the flash memory modules looked similar and had the same plug ...

t5710, 1.2GHz with 512F/512R. Best bang for the buck.

I bought mine on ebay from a guy named statwood87i3. He's a little high but gives phone support after the sale.

Hello,

I just bought this MJ and for two days been trying to get a new number and there is No numbers available for AC 613 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

What is up with this?

Thanks

Well one would think one would do a little detective work prior to buying MJ to see if the number ( area code ...

Often, the call quality using MagicJack connected to my PC is poor. The talk is garbled and echos. Sometimes there is no problem. When connecting to a thin client, is any improvement in the call quality experienced? [/b]

Tell us more details about the pc you're running MJ on. Also, as Scotty ...

V-Man

I may actually stay with the original MJ, but my dedicated PC gnaws at my environmental leanings, and in the past, I wondered the extent to which the PC might interfere with call quality...though it's been excellent, of late.

My next step is either Obi/GV or an on/off PC timer. Thanks for all the ...

V-Man

I wouldn't bet a dime on seeing it available before 2014.

If you did, I'd bet a dollar you'd loose your dime! :)

Where did he mention TV? I read somewhere they are talking about providing $90 internet,But I don't remember reading about TV, I know netTALK is coming with a TV product.

Thx ...

V-Man

I can't believe it. First off no special price for existing customers who would not only give up time available that they still have on the regular MagicJack but also you loose your number. In addition to that. They can't tell you in thier chat anything about it other then that it plugs into your ...

Good Luck!

great this is getting better as i go, now the thin client says disk read error, every time i try to re-boot, is there a way to get the XPe back on this or do i need to try to reinstall tiny xp ??, i hope the flash memory hasnt taken a crap on me.

Not sure about the 2Gig thing. It may be that the ...

V-Man

What size flash drive did you put in it? I've read on here that XPe will not install on anything larger than 1Gig.

V-Man

Utter nonsense, as usual.

It may be a piece of crap and not work like they are promising, but they will be releasing it, unlike other empty MJ promises. I highly doubt they have gone to all the trouble of making a new device, designed the packaging and sent it out to reviewers to shelve it at ...

Just to let everyone know so they don't waste 5 or more hours chatting online with magicjack representatives. I have been with magicjack for the past year and other than the little annoying quirks they have been pretty good. As for the past month when ever the phone has been active for 1hr and ...

I have searched all over but not found the answer to the following question.. Can I plug my Magic Jack into a different computer and keep my same info? Will it even work??? I have a dinosaur computer that is in the process of dying and I want to keep my same phone #...my year is almost up and I ...

V-Man

One of the reviews posted in here, I believe, quoted someone at MJ that it would be made available to current MJ users first. If that's correct, and anything with MJ is a BIG if, we should either see it on the "mymagicjack" purchase options or something via an email before it shows up in retail ...

Sounds like you may be missing the USB Audio Driver. Follow this procedure:

Download and Install USBAudio driver
Check the Device Manager and to see if it shows an error - YELLOW QUESTION MARK on the " Internet phone by TigerJet” if so, download the USBAudio driver from

I have 4 years left on my MJ service and am considering the NTD anyway for what it could save me in potential PC repairs.

Just a thought Freedom1911 but why don't you keep both?

A thin client for your magicJack can be had off ebay now for around $50 bucks. That would remove your running a full ...

Not wanting to be one of the nattering nabobs of negativism, but can you say "vaporware"? Sorry, but after what, years of promises, MJ is in the beta phase of number porting. I gotta believe MJ+ is going to be a little more complex than number porting.

And not wanting to be accused, again, of ...

It sounds like a person would still have to use the cell service to use the MJ+ system.
If this is the case, I can't see how the MJ rout is any benefit.

No, no. Crackerjack is saying that ANY phone (not just wireless) can call the MJ access number to make both long distance in country calls OR ...

Good Afternoon All:

Well, the RAM problem is taken care of now, but another issue has shown up. This could have been a problem all along as well.

I have a T5700 that is labelled as a 1GHz, 256/256.

It actually was received with a 512MB Apacer DOM in it and 256MB of RAM.

CMOS Setup shows 512MB ...

V-Man

I agree with sabresfan. Ebay thin client prices have been dropping since the first of this year. A t5720 can be had for as little as $55 if you want to do the magicJack install yourself. There's an excellent sticky at the top of this section that describes in great detail how to do an install on a ...

I found this article today:

how is the nettalk?

Dammit all. And to think the $2.38 I spent on research and development is down the drain. BTW, my R&D department has been fired, seeing as how they failed to let me know of the previous guide. I think they were trying to milk it for all they could before I found out. I knew better than to hire ...

If in fact magicJack comes out with their own version of the netTalk Duo, it will be too little - too late for the countless thousands of customers like me who found the MJ product and MJ customer service to be a bad joke and switched to netTalk. Simply, the netTalk device just plain works. Simply ...

There does seem to be some confusion. I think it has been settled opinion that MJ was getting so much flak that they either killed the project or have set it aside for a "while".

........The call quality is very good. Granted its not major phone company quality but it gets the job done. There is the occasional digital noise and cut out but it works good. So for $20 a year it's an awesome product. If you want perfect call quality stay with your major phone company. :D I sure ...

Since early last year MJ now keeps our contacts on their server, so there is nothing on our PC you can back up..

For technical reasons, it's not possible to have two magicJacks with the same phone number.

But why do you need two magicJacks with the same number? Are you just wanting to have two phones with the same phone number? If that's the case, then you could buy a cordless phone with two extensions. Or ...

OK I checked and this WYSE TC does support 1GB RAM and 1GB Flash.
I inserted the 1GB RAM and re imaged but the MJ splash screen shows it is upgrading but hangs - like It ran overnight. So I unplugged and waited 20 sec and tried again and now I get error that MJ cannot connect to Internet - yet I ...

Awesome. I hope this pans out. I've been wrestling with cancelling DirecTV for a while now. Shelling out $75 bucks a month for DirecTV's minimum channel assortment while I only watch like 3 of 'em is getting tougher and tougher to justify.

Hi,

Thank you! I will do that. I just ordered a 1GB RAM and 1 GB Flash Module. And yes the WYSE does have a Write Filter similar to HP.

My problem is I plug in MJ and it starts to configure then a window pop up stating "The system has run out of available memory/no virtual memory, and will reboot shortly.

I had already re imaged prior to this and was also getting a ...

I've been running MJ for close to a year now and that's never happened to me either. I agree with Joe.....sounds like someone "helped" you.

IMHO, this sounds like another good reason to use a thin client with an active EWF. Since the EWF locks out any kind of permanent write to the flash drive ...
