I've been using the Obi100 since it became available back in May 2011 and it has worked flawless for me with GV. I still use sipsorcery on the same line to receive Email on all incoming phone calls via SIP. I purchased redpeppers GVJack SW to make use of my old dusty MJ as a backup in case the Obi ...

Well, I just bought a new PC w/ windows 7 and my mj expired on Sat. and I decided to not renew. My new OBI and Google Voice works fine for my home phone as well as a softphone and I'll take the chance that GV will be free passed 2011.

RIP mj.

I use to be on Astraweb for $11 monthly but ever since I found out about Blocknews and their sister frugal usenet service, I've cut this bill in half. Been with them since Dec and only pay $6/mo for 100 day retention. I paid another $14 for a 100G block for those occasional downloads that are over ...

I got my OBi100 a couple of days ago and, I must say, I really like the features and the easy GV setup. I replaced my old Innomedia Sunrocket ATA and can really hear a better quality call with the G711u codec. (That's 16x better quality than MJ's and 2X better than G729a which the Innomedia uses ...

FYI, Localphone raised their rates just a few weeks after in August 09 from 0.007 to 0.009 for US/Canada calls. Still the cheapest of the bunch

Have you tried ipkall/callcentric with sipsorcery. I find the call quality to be a little better than sipgate/sipsorcery.

I think Ipcomms is the best quality with sipgate a close second. IpKall used to not be reliable but lately they've been a bit more stable but DTMF tones would not natively ...

Good afternoon, synchron.

Does OBihai have any of their own bells and whistles regarding call logs and displaying SIP transactions through email?

I'm not sure I understand this question. I get all of my call logs through Google Voice. I'm not sure if there are any call logs on the OBi110. I ...

Hi,

I just ordered an OBI100 today which will hopefully replace my Sipsorcery/ATA/Sipgate/GV callback system. I have no complaints except that it is run by one guy in Australia and he could take the service down (or my Innomedia ATA could die) so for $44, this will probably be an easy transition. I ...

Got mine! (Obi100). Darn thing looks so small - almost half the size as the 110.

Hopefully this will end my streak with magicJack and sipsorcery, although I'm still counting on mJ to be a reliable backup in case Obi/GV goes down which I doubt.

Sorry, link doesn't work, it doesn't show the list price for the 110 as $69.99 (rather, 84.99), and applying the Code comes up 'error'.

Not an easy thing to do at this time.

If it is possible for this company to set this ATA up, why isn't there a feasible way to set up our own ATA with Google Voice Credentials? I have tried the Sipsorcery route, that is flaky. I had some success with it but, it is very unreliable.. Besides that, the SipSorcery is all online set up that ...

I have not plugged in my dongle in a while now and can assure that my password has now been changed since Sunday 10/24. This is the first change in well over a year, ever since mjmd5 was born.

I've upgraded but I still have my old credentials since June 2009.

By reversing the passwords, does that mean they're equivalent to the same old passwords before they were rotated or did they just stop it and certain folk now have an EXXX02/03/04 un and a new permanent encrypted pw.

Just curious since I got updated but remained immune.

Just curious what the cutoff date was when pw's and accounts stopped rolling. I 've been on hiatus and got my Lucky you Sunday and no change to me as my un is still EXXXXXXXXXX01 format and my pw is still the same. ATA/Siphon/EyeBeam settings still work ala MJMD5.

Create a new shortcut. When it comes up and says type in the location, paste the following w/o quotes:

It will call it killtask.exe, or something like that. I renamed it to " MJ Kill ". You can name it to your preference.

By any chance, do you know any softphone for portable handphone, iphone, palm, google phone, etc.. that works with MJMD5 auth for magicjack ? before, I was a happy camper when MagicJack did not deploy the md5 auth.
Thanks.

There's sip credentials and there's your account. Your mj account was most likely flagged during an update from June 09. Dongles purchased after that might or might not have had their accounts flagged.

Ones that are flagged have to have the additional mjmd5 patch - its that simple. I'd be very ...

Wow, I just installed and tried this and it works most of the time - there are occasions with no audio after dialing whether NAT is on or off (off happens less). Always works for the 1st call after running Siphon.

I'm now curious and wondering why this works. Is it because the added noonce/md5 ...

Last time I saw something similar to this was back in early June 09 after the dreaded infamous update that crippled our ATA's replacing the dongle. This was in combination with an mj update. Of course, this led to counterhacks and the birth of mjmd5.

That mishap was definitely from MJ police, not a ...

Hi, I received an mj 'lucky you' recently but your service tool never broke. It just behaves slower; that is, I plug in dongle, softphone will eventually say, 'Ready to call'. I close softphone and no dialtone. I run your service (under services.msc) and now it takes up to 1 minute for the dialtone ...

Is this because my contact list was always empty, therefore it thinks I don't need the 3/2 fix?

Also, my DTMF tones on the cordless phone stopped working and I had to recheck the setting in my account for it to work again.

Does this just hide the Softphone and keep the popup from occurring when the phone rings? Or is it truly silent - meaning that the PC phone sound is muted as well. I notice that most of these helpful plugins (including the recent MagicJack service creator) don't mute the PC phone sound so that both ...

I tried installing your tool but some error came up halfway through. Interestingly enough, I ran 'services.msc' and a magicjack entry appeared pointing to srvany.exe so I was able to start the service and it works manually.

I've been very successful getting the Ipod touch to work with Voip and all the Apps they offer have their pros and cons. For example, Siphon has the best quality and the best features and is free but you need Cydia, therefore you need to jailbreak. I also use Fring (also free but worst quality ...

Try the "MagicfeaturesPlugin" at http://www.pcphonesoft.com .

You can download the plugin and test out what you are trying to do for free before you commit to purchase anything.

And when did you purchase your MJ? Recent MJ's are currently immune to the new SIP authentication but it is suspected that in due time, these MJ's will also require some from of MJMD5 authenticity.

is there ANY solution? A WORKING SOLUTION?

I would think MJMD5 IS the solution. You run the proxy on a local PC and point your Siphon credentials to your PC's IP (192.168.x.x) server address. This at least allows your Iphone to work on your Iphone/Ipod Touch in your home.

As for your local ...

Yeah, it's nice to implement my backup system simply by switching ATA to MJMD5 and checking MJ number in GV while sipsorcery is down. PC has to be on but at least the calls are pretty clear this way.

R U sure you have your GV account set to ring your G5 1747 phone #?

Do you have your G5 account set to forward to your [email protected] or r your sip credentials correct and your register is checked in SS under provider names?

You make a good point about the backup but VoxOx does not appear to be that reliable for me. It worked once and now it is choking in Eyebeam/Xlite as if the sip01-west.voxox.com server is dead. Now I get a 601 Denied for every call I make and it registers with any random username/pw for credentials ...

You're right. I tried it on eyebeam and that server appears to work. The thing that I can't get to work is the GV callback to the VoxOx number ala sipsorcery.

Sorry for the confusion.

BTW, if you're using sipsorcery, what's the point of paying any $$ to any provider? Outgoing should be free using ...

Well, unfortunately, Stroths has been outdated to find the password since the 8/2 build but it is still a good tool otherwise. PW 2.2 is the only tool to currently get the credentials.

Is their server for the ATA still sip:sip01-west.voxox.com??

This hasn't been working for a long time. Only thing that works is their bloated softphone so if I can't get it to work with ATA, I'll pass.

Since MJ/Ymax use their own CLEC, they make money on every incoming call so I doubt that they would want those calls to be crappy quality.

Probably best to use a torrent client that limits both your upload and download (especially the upload which, believe it or not, effects the download). Utorrent is good for this.

Personally, I use Netlimiter to control any app that uses TCP/IP. Great control over your bandwidth usage which I find ...

From what I recall, make sure you use the 20 hex character string that passwordfinder spits back the most. Usually you get like 1 or 2 oddball ones it picks up and the other one that is repeated like at least 8 times is the one you use.

I'm not exactly sure the details of a PAP2 since I don't own one. I'd try first seeing if MJMD5 has something to do with it by swapping the lines and having the SS stuff running on your line 1. By definition, the sipsorcery method does not require a PC and your ATA is registered by their ...
