Been awhile since I've visited here. The site looks good and is going strong. Wish I had more time to help people out here this past year but had a ton of personal issues going on (youngest daughter 10yrs old passed away from cancer).

Anyway I'll try to check in and help out more often.

See ya ...

It's getting close to 2 years without trouble with magicjack for me. Then again I don't use it very much. Now when I first started on it back in 2007. It was a pain. But now, no worries. Have helped about 6 or 7 of my friends & family get set up on MJ too. No problems reported from any of them, and ...

Yeah I saw this option when I renewed last month.
Looked pretty easy for me to find but then again I'm always careful to read the fine print.

Thanks though to pointing it out to all

Well i get a lot of e-mails on the subject of not being able to find the password in the dump file. Well there is a new tool out over at magicjackhacks.com its the top news story right now. But this program uses pmdump and takes about 5 min but in the end it will spit out your password via command ...

Ummm wasn't the National Guard supposed to in charge of this...oh wait I forgot...W.B. sent all of them to the desert...and they're doing longer and more rotations than active duty. WTF is up with that!?!

Didn't mean to jump on your case or anything, just wanted people to know the correct days.

So why is this old thread still a sticky?

Looks like this forum needs a couple more mods to help clean up things around here.

(FYI - that's doesn't mean I'm volunteering...)

Sweet! Think I'll send some to my relatives in Thailand too (they live in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Sattahip)

As someone who has been using MJ for getting close to a year, I'll be the first to admit it does sometime have issues. For the past couple of months though the problems are usually my fault (have too many torrents running typically). For the typical user, MJ should run just fine on a high-speed ...

I didn't see the listing here, but saw it on the Black Friday site. I plan on picking up a couple as Christmas gifts for my military friends stationed overseas.

I have heard this one before, I have no idea why it would need it. But if it does or would like to have it I game to try (????).

When the heck do you sleep? I'm at work (now on the late overnight shift 10pm-8:30am). Was bored today so thought I woudl check out the forum. Been awhile since I've ...

SpamBox

WTF are you serious?? Good job at exposing the loop holes for the USB device on a public forum. I bet the engineers at MJ appreciate the help.

Please... I'm sure the engineers already knew how to dump memory. Personally I don't see what the big deal is. So he explains how to get your SIP ...

Why the heck would one need to install the Divx codec? Does Mj need this? I prefer Xvid over Divx? Will H.264 work give me HD quality phone calls?

SpamBox

I just recently set up a friend's new computer. It's running Vista x64. Wow it's fast (8GBs of RAM too) but when I went to load my standard set of favorite software, most of them gave me an error stating they don't like x64. So I'm guessing MJ isn't going to like x64 either.

SpamBox

On a side note, been a MJ user since Dec '07, it's my sole home phone (still have my mobile). Have had a few troubles here and there especially in the first few months but it's been problem free for at least 6 to 8 months.

I don't even think about it any more. I just pick up the phone and dial (or ...

Welcome to the 21st century! Most place have already converted to 10-digit dialing. In the last 3 states that I have lived in, I have had to 10-digit dial. That's been over 20 years now!!!

SpamBox

I would like to see the option to disable the VM all together.

Optionally, I would be OK if MJ would pick up after the 5th ring instead of the 4th, so I could set my VM to pick up and answer the call.

This is what I've been waiting for, for a looong time. Would be nice just to be able to turn ...

Do what I do to make sure my ISP isn't spying on me. Wear a pyramid shape hat made of aluminum foil.

Works every time!

Good reminder, also not all States subscribe to the Federal list so you may have to go to your respective State's Do Not Call web site and sign up there also.

Try again. Thanksgiving is on the 27th this year. Are you looking at Christmas, which always the 25th of Dec, which this year is a Thursday?
Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, though the date changes from year to year. It think it's always the ...

Personally I think there's a better chance MJ will survive compared to ooma. To a lot of people, it's easier to swallow spending $40 initially and $20/yr after that then to plucked over $200.

Ok so yesterday I tried a couple different servers - nothing worked.
Outgoing just fine, incoming still straight to voicemail.
Today suddenly there about 12 blank voicemails so I delete those. and reset my MJ.

Didn't have a chance to test incoming yet as I had other work to do.
Suddenly my phone ...

SpamBox

I did try a different server, but maybe they're updating it also. Will try Newark and report.

SpamBox

yeah tried that. Still just goes straight to voicemail.

Friday night, 6/20/2008 - No Inbound calls?
Anyone else?

Hopefully just a temp glitch.

Thanks Bendle! I was going to say isn't there already a GC invite thread.
Every GC number I have I got without an invite. I just signed up for a reserve number and in about 1/2 hour I have an email from GC stating there's a number available. Of course that was 6 months ago, so maybe times have ...

Umm maybe aI missed it when I read the article but where does it say Dan reads this forum. I see where the writer refers to this forum, but Dan just ignores it and continues on. I wonder why they didn't ask him about a MJ ATA device. It's still portable.

SpamBox

Umm if you were using an ATA why did you plug your Mj back in?
I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned time and time again, if you are able to get an ATA up and running on MJ, to lock away just so this sort of thing doesn't happen!

SpamBox

So you want your GC number to pick after x number of rings instead of six?
Is that what you're asking?
If so I have a GC account but don't know how to go about that. Would recommend asking on the GC forum though - you'll get a quicker and probably correct response.

SpamBox

Please tell me you didn't install the new XP Service Pack 3 !?!?!

That service pack has been wrecking havoc everywhere.
It's been awhile since I've been on the forum but have people been having issues with SP3?
I wouldn't be surprised.

SpamBox

GREAT IDEA!!!!

If I didn't already have my own MJ solution in place I would go for it. I actually might consider getting one for my parents.

SpamBox

Nice work on the new spoofer. The new features are ones I've wanted! Thanks!

SpamBox

Your sip credentials are always going to be just a few keystrokes away by virtue of necessity. It's kind of ludicrous that it would even be a topic of discussion anyway, when you think about it logically.

When a company intentionally hides account information on your computer, for you to access ...

You're right! They all go about a week before needing recharging.

I keep a MagicJack in my car in case I ever have a flat tire.

Or maybe better computer components in the laptop.

If it's so awful, why would many of us recommend it to our family & friends.
I have 6 family members & friends who have purchased it, and all of them love it.
No major problems. Most of them still have kept their landline but now only have local service due to them having alarm systems.

I haven't ...

what kind of cordless phone (ie 2.4ghz, DECT, 900 mhz)
If you have an old 900mhz, try that as they get least interference from most home wireless routers. Of course you can't wander as far. I have the Panasonic DECT and can wander about 1/2 block before it starts having problems. Great for walking ...

SpamBox

Also what's your home network & computer like?
have you tried port forwarding yet if behind a router?
have you changed your personal firewall?

SpamBox

Every once in a while, if I haven't made or received a call for a while - before making the call I want to make, I dial my cell phone first and once it connects - hang up. Seems the first phone call sometimes is a little messed up - but after that it works like a champ.

SpamBox

That's better than what I get. The date & time are always screwy!

Would the MJ work with either of these routers without the use of a computer if you downloaded the MJ software to the router.

I just checked and no option, though there is a spot to enter a redemption code.
Tried various made-up codes but no luck yet.

I can't record them on the PC but I can on my Panasonic DECT phone

SpamBox

what else do you want to do with it?
It's not about to pick up Sat-Tv or even cable tv for that matter.
It's a VOIP provider.
It can't cook your Hot Pockets.
The best it can do is help you order a pizza from Papa John's.

SpamBox

maybe instead of "Post who^^" it could be "Dan needs to replace himself with me" or "MagicJack CEO".
Something clean yet funny. "P.W." was probably a little bit over the top as I'm sure there are family-minded folks here.

I have Panasonic KX-TGA101S 4 handsets bought at Sams I love the phones, however they do not work with MJ's Caller ID. I had to do the resister fix to get them working. Anyone have any Panasonics that work with CID ?

I went with Uniden over Panasonic only because ALL the Panasonic models come with an answering system, which I did not want or need.

You're so right! MJ's voicemail is sooo much better than Panasonic's answering system! MJ's vm always has the correct time & always notifies ...

huh - weird

I had the probably when I first got MJ back in Jan.
Just had to unplug MJ, reboot, reinstall the hardware, reboot again and then plug in the mj.
Never had the problem again
