I guess thats why im a retired communcations engineer at 52 when alot are still doing the 9-5 until they drop dead or don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of either, Oh yes life is what you make it :!:

A big 10-4. I retired at age 54 and that was 21 years ago! Best 21 years of ...

Sumrall

Same here, I have NetTALK now and the magicJack sits in the drawer. Doubt I will renew if everything is still working well with NetTALK.

My MJ would expire next month as well. Even though is seldom used since getting NT, $20 for the next year of having two outside lines is hard to beat - I did ...

Sumrall

Just to make the one waiting for a refund feel better...
cancel with Verizon, then get out the calendar. I canceled landline July, 2010. Just received refund check yesterday, Dec. 27, 2010 - 5 months. Had given up on receiving it.

Oh, and no problems with either MJ or NT.

Sumrall

I dropped Verizon land line back in July after using MJ for 8 months. Still waiting for $50 refund now in December. And that was before I got the DUO in September.

And 'customer service'? That's a knee-slapper! Assuming you can reach the proper 'service' after playing telephone roulette.

Never ...

Hell ya, isn't that the whole reason we all bought a Magicjack?

Was surely my reason. Paying Verizon $87/mo versus geting both MJ and NT and a year's service for same price was a no-brainer

Sumrall

I think I just might do that. Let me ask you this though, when I do fax, I have to set my MJ to headset, is that how you have yours set?
As for me, I don't touch the MJ setup. Stays on Telephone. I have two external fax machines and they both work with MJ - and NT.

The reason I mentioned to a ...

Sumrall

Let me throw this in as food for thought...
MJ has been saying for about a year that porting would be available. At first part of this year, then in August, now in November. It may happen.

As for your all in one printer connection. This is what I did. I ordered Nettalk which does not use your ...

Sumrall

... was just looking for anyone who had used/or using both would recommend NT over MJ without the nitty-gritty details
Count me in. Even though I just renewed MJ for another year, it is for backup if NT falters. So far, no contest between the two - in NT's favor (disclaimer follows), for me :D ...

Maybe the Poll should be re-worded to ask if NetTalk will hurt MJ sales. Then I would be comfortable in saying, "Yes."

Having MJ going on 11 months now and Nettalk going on two months, the only time I plug in MJ is when I happen to think of it and maybe it needs to be connected every now and then ...

Got my Nettalk DUO in September and used coupon for 25% ($17.25) off. My son ordered one this month using same coupon code and it worked.
Regardless, having MJ as backup and ...

Sumrall

Not to beat a dead horse but have used MJ 10 months and Nettalk 2 months. MJ is relegated to a 'standby' status even though they both work well. I did renew MJ for another year and will probably continue to do so - a second line for $20/yr...hard to beat.

As for faxing, using a wireless Canon MX340 ...

Sumrall

Brent, you may want to look into NetTalk. I use nettalk 24/7 connected to router. No computer connection.
I also have and use MJ whenever computer is on. MJ along with nettalk gives me two outside lines.

Sumrall

The next step will be canceling my home phone ...

I hope MJ is around for a long time.
Glad you are liking the MJ. Have had mine going on 10 months with no problems. Dropped landline back in July. I have never looked back.

Been using Nettalk as well but only for one month. No problems with it ...

Sumrall

Until you receive more ideas on getting MJ going again, I'd say try it on another computer. It may be that your computer crash with XP damaged something in the MJ dongle. But MJ works great on my Win7.

Sumrall

Same fee (4.8%) added for me this PM. In Texas.

Sumrall

Probably best to do a search in the forums, but from what I remember it is said to NOT connect the new MJ until you contact MJ support and tell them to transfer the number. Probably more to it but that much I recall.

Sumrall

This was posted in a review by jdr. He claims it improved his call quality. I'm using Win7 also and tried it. I can't say it improved my quality as it was great to start with. Mostly I was checking to see if it degraded quality. Didn't hurt anything so I still have the settings suggested:

I not a guru on this but here is how I have my phones: I have DECT 6.0 phones made by Panasonic. I have one base phone plugged into MJ. I have an additional 5 phones, cordless, throughout the house. None of the phones are plugged into a jack. The phones do plug into house current to recharge the AAA ...

I did not install it for several days as I did not look forward to all the installation problems I had read about.

I personally do not care about number porting any more.

Same here. Already saved $200 by not waiting.

Sumrall

Forgot to mention there is a 25% ($20) discount coupon for NetTalk, or was when I ordered on 8th Sept. Did a Google search for "NetTalk DUO coupon".

Sumrall

You will definitely be missed by me.

If you were to recommend another VoIP provider alternative to magicJack at the moment based on your experience who would it be? Are the NetTalk folks worth a look?
Maybe off topic but I received NetTalk DUO today. Fast, easy setup. Clear calls. Using as a ...

Sumrall

Also using DECT 6.0 cordless phones (Panasonic KX-TG64xx series) with six handsets throughout the house. Sounds great. Never a problem using wireless router.

Sumrall

I'll tell them don't waste your money on MJ - it's spotty at best.
I understand what you are saying - but why not tell friends to give it a try. What, with a money-back deal, what have they to lose?

It is obvious that MJ works for thousands of folks, myself included. In our family there are ...

Sumrall

Had same message today. Turned out laptop battery low and not enough power in usb port. Plugged laptop into power supply and worked OK.

Sumrall

Using six DECT 6.0 Panasonic KX-TG64xx phones. No problem. Just one plugin to MJ.

Sumrall

Satoru's command line did the trick for me as well! Many thanks, satoru!

Not knowing much about computers, I could not even see how or where to enter a 'command' using Win7 - unlike WinXP. Did a Help search and found how to get a command line. Then I was puzzled as how to get two separate lines as ...

Any idea what the 'debate' concerns? Surely it cannot be about electricity usage as that is easily checked.

Same here. Using Win XP have to go thru the 'never' routine.

But on my laptop Win7 no amount of trickery will get the screen-saver to work. Normally I use a 24" desktop monitor with the laptop so now I turn the monitor off when not in use. Not convenient but better than nothing, or being 'on' all ...

Same problem here. Tried it on two computers - neither would allow screen power-saving to activate.
Maybe someone will come up with a solution...

Matter of fact, I didn't wait until the 'porting' becomes available. Canceled land line this AM. Figured MJ has been flawless for 7 months and if I changed numbers may throw a monkey wrench into the works...so emailed and phoned contacts over the weekend and said land line no longer available - to ...

Sumrall

Might have an answer or two but am newbie myself.

I understand the newer MJ's don't have the 'disconnect' feature common to USB plugins. I just unplug mine and no problem in over 7 months.

Call duration I don't think is a problem. The problem for some is that if you make over 50 in a day, they ...

Sumrall

If you keep your computer on 24/7 for the sake of MJ, then it is really overpriced. If you use it as your desk phone when the computer is on anyway, it is by fat the best deal in town.
Google voice is not a phone service. You cannot use it if you do not have one.
I guess I'm missing something here ...
