Thanks for all your investigative work. I appreciate the feedback.

The only working solution we are aware of that seriously gives you longer to answer the phone is the MagicRingForever Plugin.

Thanks Thunder, I haven't tried the MRF on my thin client but it was giving me a lot of grief on my desktop PC because we use multiple desktops one for the wife, and one ...

I use MF and use the double ring feature and my answering machine kicks in after 3 (or maybe 4, not usually there when it goes to the machine) double rings, which takes the exact same length of time as the 3 (or 4) standard rings without it.

This is from the PhoneSoft website:

Double Ringing ...

which takes the exact same length of time as the 3 (or 4) standard rings without it.

Thanks for the info nailguner. I guess the only concern I may have left is how well the MF will work on my Thin Client with its limited resources. I might give it a try after my vacation.

I'm still thinking ...

You could always buy MagicRingforever a program which I use to set the number of rings to what ever I like.

I tried that program (which is free incidentally) and is was giving me all kinds of grief. I also considered Magicfeatures but that app uses double half-time rings instead of one standard ...

Obviously each set-up is different, but for what it's worth, as long as my power stays on, I bypass both the GV and MJ voicemail systems.

My integrated answering machine has two settings 2 & 4 rings. Three rings is optimal for us to get around to consistently answering the phone. I wish that I ...

If you really need to keep your MJ number and GV won't port it I have heard of others first porting their land line number to a throw away cell phone and then port from the throw away to GV. .

Thanks for the great advice. It wouldn't be an issue if the wife and family hadn't beaten me half to ...

Would you know off hand if GV can port MJ phone numbers? I know they don't do land lines but my MJ number is the same exchange as cell phones in my area. - Thanks!

As an added advantage the OBi 100/110 implement the XMPP protocol in addition to standard sip and thus are natively compatible with Google Voice; so unless Google Voice drops it's free calling you have your VOIP service provided free...

I have the same problem except it is now 2011. I'm running MJ on an HP thin client and more recently MJ has been switching to headset on it's own about 1 or 2 times a week. I had this problem previously then it disappeared for a long time and now it's back again.

I recently read about making sure ...

Thanks redpepper, that's what I've done now. The only issue I have is that I need the desktop to log on automatically if the computer reboots due to updates etc. I'm currently trying TweakUI from Microsoft to facilitate that need, but for some reason it doesn't seem to continue the auto log on after ...

redpepper et al, I'm currently running MagicJack as a service. When I run MagicRingForever from my desktop it brings up a new instance of MagicJack and the ring forever function works fine but when the computer is rebooted the Ring Forever reverts back to normal. Do any of you know of any way to to ...
