Oh, okay; thanks!

i had the same thing happen to me with my MJ plugged into desktop early this year, so i plugged it into my laptop and everything was ok. then i bought a MJ+ and plugged it into my desktop, set it up and everything was ok. now it's plugged into my modem/router working fine.

My magicjack has worked satisfactorily for over two years now until recently. first thing to happen was that i was not getting a home phone dial tone; i would unplug and replug the device and that would fix it and i could talk for hours.

these days my call drops after a few minutes and a mj splash ...
