Why MJ tells u to add UDP 5060-5070 to your firewall and not mention the proxy leaves me baffled at their tech support.

I don't understand why "dead chat" tells customers to do that. It's like they've reversed *everything* that happens. Like it's the MJ server opening a port on your computer ...

MagicJackLover101

So are u saying that I should disable QOS in my Motorola Modem ?

I don't know. Just saying that giving priority to 5060-5070 won't do anything for you. The real action occurs on a port somewhere between 10000 and 20000. Use Wireshark and see for yourself. (It's easier to see with Tomato's QoS ...

I enabled QOS in my Motorola modem and used a port range of 5060-5070,

The MJ client opens a connection to a *destination* port of 5070 on the proxy1.<city>.talk4free.com server. This seems to be just a control connection.

When a call is placed/received, the MJ client opens a connection to a ...

I have been working on my MJ for a while, got a new modem and everything was fine until i still had the same problem with the flutter when dialing any number.

I started with a corded phone, which everyone should have at least one of, but switched for the mobility. I hate to sit in one place and talk when I have things I need to do.

Regardless to what type (Cordless or Corded) we use, The quality depends on many things and I am sure u know that already ...

MagicJackLover101

Just wondering..do you prefer to use a corded or cordless phone with your MagicJack? I use a cordless phone, but I see benefits is both? Mainly, the corded has better sound quality, the cordless offers better mobility.

I thought about adding a splitter to have both options, but then I don't want ...

Privacy Manager intercepts unidentified calls and requires those callers to indentify themselves, However as of July 1, 2008, Magic Jack numbers are not being recognized for some reason.
