magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

You're right it's not so bad, but I wouldn't call it dependable.

Since they ask for 5 year's worth of fees up front they have no incentive to help me solve my persistent outbound audio problem besides going through the scripts which aren't even remotely related. A better way would be to gradually ...

Nice to see I'm not the only one with this problem, but I think MJ has screwed us again. I pretty much gave up too after a bit of fiddling around. At least it's still usable, just annoying.

I don't necessarily need a fix for this, I was just wondering if other users have experienced the same thing and see how reproducible it is.

Thanks, I tried this but when I have tigerjet as the default device my computer speakers don't work anymore (all sounds are diverted to the tigerjet device I assume). But I was able to slide the slider to 0 and 100%, but that only adjusts it for the tigerjet device I think.

So the magicjack ...

This is not a big problem but rather an annoyance.

Normally I have the MagicJack switched to telephone so I never noticed before but now that I have it switched to headset (using my computer speakers and microphone) I can't slide my volume slider on XP all the way to the bottom or all the way to ...

No, actually I didn't try blocking the vms servers, just the servers listed on that proxy list on the wiki.

But I just tried it and still no luck, I can't force it to try any other servers other than cleveland and houston.

I added a "deny all traffic to 67.88.10.203 and 216.234.74.12" on my router ...

I thought MJ was supposed to be easy to use? Anyone should be able use it. and having the hardware and software locked down should make it more reliable not less...

Well you were right about one thing, it's been 4 days and I haven't heard anything from them :lol: And I just made a few test calls and they are still very choppy for "local" numbers (my MJ is 234 area code and I live in 403 area code so my local calls are 403) but fine for other area codes ...

So I went to their live chat and as soon as I said I had voice quality problems they started going through their script and had me try a whole bunch of unrelated changes and settings. The ignored the fact that I said incoming was fine so my setup is probably fine and asked to change "Internet ...

It probably is, I suspend my PC when I finish using it and the next day I wake up my PC and go through this ritual.

I used to leave my computer on all day but then I figured when I'm not home I'm not going to answer anyways so just let it go to voicemail and when I am home I wake up my PC. I got a ...

Funny thing, I called a friend in Ontario and the quality was good using the Cleveland proxy. Then I called my cell right after to test and every ring there will be 1-3 drop outs. I live in Alberta and most of my calls are local, maybe only my local calls are bad because I'm further from Cleveland ...

No luck, I've run it for an hour now (just over 3600 secs as shown in my screenshot) and it only ever tries registering with Cleveland and Houston (also shown) :(

From the magic jack menu it shows I'm running 2.0.6

I guess I'll give their ...

wow, after reading more threads on this forum, I'm wondering maybe if they're only trying 2 proxies to prevent people from trying to switch to a better proxy. They seem to like screwing their customers (eg, constantly changing SIP passwords, no ATA use...)

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I tried blocking all but 2 proxies by using my firewall router method and found out magicjack only seems to try 2 proxies before giving up. ( http://www.phoneservicesupport.com/magicjack68948.html#68948 )

I have the feeling you'll run into the same ...

Took me a while to add all the proxy addresses to block to my router (since my router firewall rules only allow one IP per rule...), but now I get [error 3]. Looking at wireshark and filtering by sip packets it looks like it only tries 2 different proxies (cleaveland and houston) but never gets to ...

Thanks I'll give it a shot and let you know.

Sometimes when I have no dial tone, I just dial 1 on the onscreen softphone but don't click send and instead pick up my physical phone, it calls the test number then I hang up and the next time I pick up the phone I get the dial tone again. Not the best solution but saves me from unplugging the USB ...

Sorry for reviving an old thread but it comes up as the top link when I google "magicjack outgoing dropouts".

I've been experiencing this problem for about a year now, incoming files are crystal clear but outgoing calls have very frequent dropouts (every few seconds) which is very annoying. I got ...
