I'm having the same issue like everyone here with Win XP's Suspend / Sleep and the Power Saving mode. I searched for several variations of 'how to tell which sw / fw version' is installed, but I was unable to retrieve the answer.

So please... how can I tell which version, ie, equivalent in Help ...

Am I glad my purchase transaction didn't materialize for the DUO! I'll stick with my 2 working MJs, (+/- dongle)

Re: netTALK - Could someone enlighten me please… maybe used for future reference

Canadian residing in Canada, proceeding to checkout (2) DUO, while the offer code was still valid ...

lousk

I decided to finally go ahead and place my purchase for the DUO, since today is the last day for the 50% offer.

The shocker was, after doing already a lot of research, I was not able to fill-in the address information entirely. There are fields for (State/Provice), (Post/Zip Code) which applies to ...

lousk

Thanks for your feedback.
I also bought a Nettalk Duo...
May I ask if you got a Canadian local number for an additional $5.99/month, or you ended up with a US number?
I am also in Canada and was looking at talkit.ca but decided against it due to the need to buy an ATA that is locked to that ...

I am looking for a voip provider that offers Canadian telephone number within my local area is the GTA. My calls are mainly within Canada only. I already began doing some research on talkit(dot)ca and was wondering if someone would offer some feedback, possibly their own first-hand experience in ...

lousk

Now that it looksto me like netTalk DUO isn't a great choice (cost wise) for me, needing Canadian local area number, I was wondering if you would please offer me some insight in regards to talkit(dot)ca device and service (former name Talk9000).

Thanks!

lousk

Shoud I decide to go ahead and purchase the DUO via on-line and applying the offer code, at which point one gets to select the phone number for his/her DUO? Would it be at the point of purchase, after receiving it in the mail and while initializing it, or one needs to call them in order to acquire a ...

lousk

I'd still get one if the only numbers offered were in Canada, to be able to call anywhere...
The "standard" local numbers netTalk is offering, which is priced @ $29.99/year, are only for US area codes.

However for anyone that requires Canadian local area code, the cost will be $5.99/MONTH ...

lousk

You are 1,000,000% right about the $5.99/Month for offering Canadian locale numbers. Well, they keep it then... for 71.88+29.99/Year for Canadian numbers vs. 29.99 for US numbers... I'm not that (bleep) desperate to have them as for my voIP provider.

The following was made to me as official as it ...

lousk

If I'm not mistaken, this offer code or any others are only honored redeemable when ordering on-line and not via telephone operator. But I could be wrong. I read this disclaimer around somewhere. Could someone confirm that 'first-hand'? ... Having said that, this question is addressed to the ...

luv2uallday:
Thanks for your insight.

"What i read Nettalk can issue you a canadian phone number for 5.99 a month in addition canandian 911..."

I truly hope you're wrong about the $5.99/month and that you "read" it form an unreliable source. Because $71.88+29.95/year just for having a Canadian ...

You're probably right. I haven't had the luxury to renew and to find out first-hand, yet... if... maybe.

lousk

Gotcha!

lousk

Thanks!... it's great that you've mentioned that.

I was wondering, will I be needing to 'force' any MJ's update(s) since I have not had it plugged in the PC for such a long time?

lousk

Thank you bitstopjoe for your reply!

Any foreseeable resolution in the near future for the MJ credentials issue?

lousk

After having used the MJ without its USB dongle for over 3 months, extracting its credentials, then using that on my iPhone along with Siphon apps. So now that this seems to be the thing of the past, at least for the time being for the obvious reason, I’m on the verge of plugging the damn thing back ...

lousk

You're absolutely right.
But about the MJ's $10 charge for the Canadian number, it's a one-time deal and will not be charged yearly, (unless I'm mistaken).

lousk

I've been doing some reading in this great forum.
After retrieving my MJs’ credentials 4 months ago, I've never found the need to plug its USB dongle to any PC. I was happy by using my iPhone for making voIP calls. This worked out great for as long as it lasted. Now that it seems I'm forced to plug ...

lousk

Once I re-insert the MJ dongle (it's been unpluged for months), is it possible to prevent MJ server from updating it should I choose not to?

Thanks ahead!

lousk

LOL... I like the clock analogy!
I truly appreciate all your comments. I don't remember the source, butb I came across some writing about that, if it receives the new and recent update the it will change and screw up the credential (like the pw and so) everytime its used. In addition, I read also ...

lousk

You know... you're actually right!

lousk

It's been 3-month since I activared my 4th GEN MJ Dongle. After retrieving its credential, I've disconnected from the PC and been using Siphon on my iPhone ever since. Now I'm thinking about pluging it back into my PC but have not done so... yet.

After plenty of reading, it seems that by plugging ...

Can the Magic Jack's credentials be used on Nokia 5800 xpressMusic in the same way as being used on the iPhone with Siphon apps?

lousk

I have the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and please... I would like to know if it is possible to use it with the Magic Jack just like my friend's iPhone using Siphon with Magic Jack.

Thank you in advance for your input.

lousk

Thank you for your comment.

Of course, I could dial directly from the MJ and get charged for the international long distance only. But MJ is the one who is offering its customers the option to register an additional telephone number, which is a great idea, meanwhile providing most of its subscriber ...

lousk

I added $10.00 credit for International calls and also have registered an alternative telephone number (of course a none MJ).

I was sent the following information:
"For placing an international call from another registered number please dial 1-305-848-9999 from that phone number."

Since my area ...

This is where it is so far.
I managed to hard reset the PAP2.
I am now able to get into the router with just the ip address.
Firmware Version: 3.1.9(LSc)
Don't know if it is okay to leave the ethernet in, or I should remove it.

lousk

Thank you!
I hate to bother you again.
I just looked at my PAP2. I do not know the history of it. I tried to find the ip address to login. I feel totally lost. As far as unlocking, I read that it matters if it was used with Vonage already or is still virgin.

Is there a way to tell without looking ...

lousk

Thank you so much for your reply!!!
I will try what you wrote and will post the result.
BTW, I am able to use x-lite, but I believe not without running MJMD5 in the backgroud. As far as MJproxy... sorry, I am not sure what to do with it.

lousk

I have the 'original' PAP2 but I am not sure if it can used with MJ, if so... how to start? I already had my MJ's credentials.
-Thank you for your time!

lousk

Please help!
How can I install Siphon-2.3rc4.deb on my iPhone with or without Cydia?

lousk

Thank you so much for your detailed reply above.

I was hoping I could use the VOIP151 without the MJ dongle, and just by using x-lite + mjmd5.

Do you know of a generic USB handset (not exactly a voip phone) that can be used like a 'regular' telephone including dialing out with the MJ credentials ...

lousk

Please help!
I am sorry. I do not seem to understand exactly what I need to do in order to get the Philips VOIP151 working with Magic Jack.
Would it matter if I have the 4th generation MJ?
ThankX!

lousk

Thank you for your respond.

lousk

This is a great forum!
I was wondering... the incoming CID displays correctly on my harware telephone, with name and number. But as for the MJ's softphone display, it displays only the number, without the name.

-Is it supposed to be that way when not used with Magicfeatures or am I missing ...
