I have one of these guys. it's probably the phone. Pretty cheap.

digitalnomad

Yep, I was not talking about the 30 day trial. I was talking about the annualized renewal.

digitalnomad

Spybot has been around forever. I never have had a problem with Spybot messing up MJ, but now I think I will check out this Threatfire thingy.

digitalnomad

Finally...something about the MJ that works as advertised. I find myself using my jack less and less. Either people can't hear me, or I can't hear them. The call quality seems to be getting worse than better.

digitalnomad

I was told the anniversary date is from the time you actually register, not from the order date. I have a jack I have not even registered yet. May have to do a little test.

digitalnomad

Your enthusiasm is infectious. Yes, I am sure they hear complaints about the quality of support on a daily basis, but it is cheap and kind of fun to play with like another geek toy.

digitalnomad

Yep, told you that it works. I think it is the best solution that I have seen.

digitalnomad

Here is more confirmation that peoples are having problems with the new Gizmo5 if they try to use it with GC.

Another confirmand. Welcome to world of MagicJack. If it ever gets out of beta, and they invest in some customer support...it will be almost like having a real phone.

digitalnomad

I never implemented Gizmo as an active setting on my GC UI, but I no longer have that option. There is no setting available for a Gizmo number any longer on my user panel.

digitalnomad

I am thinking that GrandCentral no longer is supporting Gizmo sip numbers. This option is no longer visible in GC "settings".

Has anyone else noticed this. Here is a link to the GC user help forum about it.

digitalnomad

Yeah...crazier things have happened. No doubt about that.

digitalnomad

OK, I edited my comment to reflect the facts. MJ can do anything they want...any time they want. They can even discontinue the service without notice or change the terms of service at any time with no consequence. However, I doubt anyone is going to sue them for something that costs only 40 bucks.

digitalnomad

I confirmed with Tech Chat some time ago that the 30 day trial starts from the date of registration. However, this crew can change the game at any time. Just read the TOS. MJ holds all the cards, and can do anything they please.

digitalnomad

Well...my problem was solved already, per my second post in this thread. I have deleted and terminated UTSCSI.exe
and CLCVO forever, never to return. I did not run the MAC fix, nor do I plan to. I have no need to do this.

digitalnomad

Thanks for the info. I saw your other post. Once again, that is some pretty nutty tech stuff there (MAC fix on XP). I prefer to just have it terminated, deleted, gone...

digitalnomad

That is downright crazy, and also an incredible testament to how long MagicJack may be in beta.

digitalnomad

I would be gun shy. It would probably be best to wait until you can be sure there are no glitches. Why not just use GrandCentral or a number forwarding service?

To me, number porting is not that big of a deal. I like the idea of one-number-access, and find a local access POTS number to be more ...

digitalnomad

That's a beautiful thing...more power to you.

digitalnomad

Could not tell you for sure. If you search this forum for either term, you will see that it does not seem integral to making MJ function. My jack is running fine. These two files were messing up my booting, and hanging other processes up. I just wanted to get rid of it.

You do need it and UTSCSI ...

digitalnomad

I did this tonight and tested it. I have posted this elsewhere, and it works OK.

Control+Alt+Delete > Task Manager and then end the process UTSCSI.exe
Then go to: Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services and set the service CLCVO to Disabled.

Shut Down>Reboot and check Task Manager again. Delete the ...

digitalnomad

Bah...that's exactly what I don't want. "MJ running as a service".

Below is what I managed to come up with and it seems to work.

Control+Alt+Delete > Task Manager and then end the process UTSCSI.exe
Then go to: Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services and set the service CLCVO
to Disabled.
Shut ...

digitalnomad

Well, it's a start. Maybe someone will add to the conversation. I hope so, because I want to be sure before I start deleting things.

Sure would like to get rid of it though. I Googled it. Check this out.

digitalnomad

I think it may possibly be tracking software or adware. That is probably why the jack works without it, and why it acts, or looks like a virus, and is so pesky about returning to the scene of the crime.

Also, this would explain why Tech Chat would insist it is necessary to run the software. Of ...

digitalnomad

@Bruce777

Most excellent. Please update us on the outcome. Hip Hip...Hooray. I want one too.

digitalnomad

It is at least 2 tier, if you can believe. Tech Chat told me they would have to check with an engineer, but that could be blue smoke, wishful thinking, or a way to blow off customers.

digitalnomad

Yeah, I know. You should see the crazy Tech Chat I had. Support kept asking if I had a firewall, or if I could make calls. I kept saying what the heck does that have to do with incoming calls when my computer is not even powered up?

digitalnomad

@ Curiousgeorge-

Thanks, but this does not compute. I am talking about people calling my MagicJack number when my computer is off, or dialing
my MagicJack number from another telephone, not calling out from my MJ to pick up voice mail. However, I will mix it up and see what happens.

digitalnomad

@ Flipper 913-

How is Tomato running for you...and was it easy to flash?

Thanks

digitalnomad

Whoops...missed that. Yep, you need Windows XP, Vista, or MAC to run MJ. (Hopefully, Linux soon)

digitalnomad

Aha...there is a "search" function. Probably need to put that in the welcome. I have been coming here for a month and did not even see it. No more swearing...

digitalnomad

My incoming calls are not being picked up and forwarded when my computer is off. Tech Chat says that they can check the "path" from their end, but it still is not working.

I also am unable to call my MJ number and access any features, listen to vm, change password, no prompts, etc. When I call from ...

digitalnomad

I think I have seen this in the forum...is there a way to uninstall the process UTSCSI.EXE and still have MagicJack work? Tech Chat told me that this is integral to running MJ software properly, but I don't believe it.

I think it has something to do with the the USB. It makes my computer run slow ...

digitalnomad

Stop running Norton and any firewalls, and try to reinstall...

digitalnomad

OK Testing 123...we know that you are excited, but this thread is getting kinda fuzzy as to what you are actually testing.

Can you kindly do a recap in a detailed step-by-step that you have become well known for on these boards?

No rush...take your time. I promise to have the popcorn ready.

digitalnomad

Give it a shot. Fun to play with, if nothing else. I think Canadian dollar is worth more than USD now, so you may be getting a deal. Finally getting it over us.

digitalnomad

The international calling from one MJ to another MJ is already free. MJ > MJ anywhere = Free

Future scenario: MJ call > any international phone numbers = Need MJ International Prepaid Calling

Send your buddy a MagicJack, and you keep a MagicJack. Everyone needs a MagicJack to make it free.

digitalnomad

I can't even find "sales Chat" any more. I had a session with "Tech Chat" today and here it is unedited:

You are now chatting with 'Thomas'

Thomas: Hello, how may I help you?

Michael: Hey Thomas.

Michael: Can't find the link to order the second year of service?

Thomas: Please wait while I check ...

digitalnomad

Whoops...I don't believe the MagicJack will actually forward your calls to the MagicJack voice mail unless your computer is on. You have to forward your number to another phone with voice mail, if your computer is not running.

I think I tested this, and it no worky. Get a GrandCentral number and ...

I would like to 86 the address all together. There used to be a function to change th address on my.magicjack.com, but it has disappeared like so many other options.

digitalnomad

Aren't Gizmo calls limited to 10 minutes? I think Gizmo is not that great. Ha

Bah...first three numbers I checked are not available. What a waste of time.

digitalnomad

Kumar,

How do I complete the transaction with you. where do I send the money for the router? Send me a pm, please...

digitalnomad

This sounds like a lofty and worthwhile project. My question is "Have you tried it, and does it work?" The cost of the router is not bad, but does it work...

Yes, it would be helpful to know in making a decision. Does this interfere with any other wireless routers you might have set up, like a ...

digitalnomad

Yep, Asterisk is "Linux only", and I wasn't trying to make a political statement about wiretapping...just thought the video explained the power of Asterisk pretty well, and there are not very many videos on Asterisk.

Although I will comment that the current administration is pushing for new ...

digitalnomad

Yep. People keep banging their heads on this board trying to interface with cellular. I know, I am one of them.

I am starting to think "screw that", and just get a wi-fi enabled phone and slap Asterisk in a lappy. Should work in most cases.

Then grab a landline or cellphone when it doesn't. Ha

digitalnomad

I think Gerry_52 is just having some fun and making it a project computer. Heck, try slipping Asterisk in there and make it a portable pbx. Take your phone company with you.

Here is a video on it, kinda off topic, but fun nevertheless...

digitalnomad

I was thinking more top drawer like a Jawbone...now that would be cool with a rugged notebook for when you travel.

digitalnomad

Just a word of caution...having recently purchased one of these, I would say that is a tad expensive for this device. Save up and get a bluetooth headset.

digitalnomad

How did you delete it from your box? You must have deleted it from somewhere else other than just the taskbar window...cause it would come back whenever you are running a process. I actually had tech support ask me to delete it from the taskbar early on when I was first having installation issues ...
