- If you know of any *truly viable* VOIP alternatives that are *truly* cheaper than MJ (and I do *not* consider services such as the free "Google Voice" or Skype services to be truly viable telephone service alternatives), please do tell! I have found NONE that are cheaper than MJ even if you add ...

Well the next round of new charges are already here: Just got the email titled: "Bill for Government-Imposed Charges for 911 Services"

This is a bill.

Certain emergency communications districts have required that we attempt to bill you via email the charges they impose for your being able to dial ...

They've made it pretty clear that price remains at $20/year for a 5-year subscription and $30/year for a 1-year subscription.

Thanks Steve, not a word is stated in the email I received so thanks for confirming that. When I started out with jack it was $20 a year, and now it's $30, so they are ...

Ok, let's get real.

OBI 100 or 110 at Amazon. Includes a way to plug in your current magic jack line so all numbers can ring on the same phone, giving you an easy way to utilize your magicjack until that old junker expires or breaks down like mine did.

New Obi 100 for only 39 plus free shipping ...

Hello, my jackplus died a while back and I have a new replacement here. Old one was no lights, nada. Paid $10.60 or so for replacement. Thinking the new design is not quite as durable as the old one.

Anyways, it's a special package that said R on the outside with a letter inside stating how to ...

Yeah, feature is officially gone forever in my account, links don't help. I did figure out how to add recorded message of my own, which helps a bit. Anything but that ad for magicjack when voicemail picks up.

Then at least you can tell them try your other number in the voice message.
Before I ...

Ok, I am shocked, they actually claim to be refunding me for renewing an old jack I thought I needed to be active to use for her android app! My god it must be a first time in history they have ever offered to refund an order? We shall see if it actually goes through! I thought they had zero refund ...

They will definitely cut you off at renewal! No more forwarding!

Just happened to me, I only used my mj to forward to my Google voice land line, and as a back up if I ever needed it.

Maybe it's time to just kiss my old number goodbye, along with all the spam calls that come through it anyways. Gal ...

Telcoman - Thanks for sharing that info. Tried it again, just reverts to home page. Been trying it all day long, I bookmarked it as well which is what they suggested before I made the purchase.

Hmmm. Wonder if it may be an issue that comes into play when you have more than one device registered ...

Oh crap just my luck, I specifically asked before making the purchase if I would be able to call forward. They said yes. I asked because I did not see it on the menu anymore. They sent me a link that did work, just like the above poster. Then a few minutes later I re-activated a jack to use for call ...

Well, Perhaps I should clarify. The 1/2 price sale is only if you followed the splash screen on your existing regular magic jack which is linked to the special Half off 48 hour DEAL page. Sorry if I misled anyone. I'm not affiliated with MagicJack in any way.

The same page is still showing on my ...

48 hour sale, Half off JackPLUS came up on my regular MJ screen TODAY! Happy Days! Grab them while you can, suckahs! : )

Oh gosh, sorry, I assumed this was the real deal. Stated they had the upgraded processors and could easily run the Jack. All the others ones I looked at had smaller processors, etc and were close to $100. They must not be easy to find.. Anyway, it's all said and done and auctions are over.

Whops. never mind, looks like it turned out the be the GPS device I had charging in the USB port that was causing the problem, my bad! : )

You are most welcome! Oh, gotfreefax also has services for more than 10 pages as well just as a note.

The OBI is an awesome setup! My MJ has my home number ported to it, so I just logged in and set the Jack to forward all calls to my Google/OBI110 number.

Then plugged the MJ in the line port of ...

Hello,

Switched my MJ to another computer, and when I try to put the computer to sleep it now blue screens. Using win 7 64bit.

Any ideas?

Thanks

There are 4 ea 1.2 ghz magic jack ready HP thin clients up on ebay to end this Sunday. I wanted to get one myself but don't have the funding just yet. Looks like a descent deal, since it has the capability to run the extra software as well. Read description for details.

Got my OBI110/Google Voice system up and running today! Fantastic! Thanks everyone, I love it!

Call quality if amazing especially compared to my magic crap that sounds like equivalent to dead spirits trying to communicate through an EVP.

Spent a good hour on chat with the top level guy and still ...

Darkman, There is an extremely reliable fax service for incoming faxes available through efax.com. http://www.efax.com/efax-free

Takes a bit of navigating to print them out without the need of downloading their software, but it's possible. You get to keep the incoming number even after the "free ...

Hello @ sabresfan,

Can you explain more about the thin client? Can this be used as a standalone to run a regular Magicjack?

Thanks very much!

Great, thanks you two! Looks like I might as well start with the obi and go from there. I still have a regular MJ and a prepaid cell so that should take care of any potential 911 needs. Regular jack does not like my current computer, static and dropped calls, stops ringing, people unable to get ...

Ok, I see the ooma and the obi110, hoping to use Google voice service for now.. Anyone care to comment on which is a better choice and why? Will continue reading/researching in the meantime.. Got jacked up with the Plus "free trial" as they socked my debit card for $199 (5 years) right when I had a ...
