xu111 ,
Do not use ipkg for Tomato unless you installed Optware. Besides, the mjproxy_mipsel.ipk package won't work on Tomato - it's compiled for the different kernel/libc version.

For Tomato, just download mjproxy binary from my post on the other thread here , unpack it, and copy to /jffs or /opt ...

I don't have a DD-WRT router either, but here are a couple binaries compiled using Tomato toolchain.
1. The first one is what I'm running on my Tomato router:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/twkmijnm3mz/mjproxy-tomato.tar.gz
It might work on DD-WRT - I have no way to check myself.
2. If the 1st one ...

Well, the outgoing should work with any listen port...
However, the responses to incoming INVITEs are sent to the port specified by the server, so if it's different from the listen port they will bypass the proxy.

I should've mentioned it when posting the source, sorry...

samdaman wrote:Works perfect calling out but incoming goes straight to vm

Don't know why - here incoming works perfect, as well as outgoing, with Asterisk and this command to run the proxy:
mjproxy 0.0.0.0 5070 proxy01.my_favorite_proxy.talk4free.com 5070 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Well... Did you read the post above yours

Ok, here's the plain C version of the simple MJ proxy:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/yzwmjzotmyy/mjproxy.c.tar.gz .
It works exactly the same as the az1324's app - the only difference is that it doesn't need mono to run on Linux - can be compiled for [almost] any linux distribution, including ...

teddy_b

ameir,

All the details with the exact algorithm are on the page 3 of this thread, dtm 's post. There's really nothing else you can get from the az1324 sources.
But I just wrote the same thing in plain C last night, and it's running on my linux-based router already along with the Asterisk server ...

Is there a possibility I can send them to computer running in US??
Although this is theoretically possible, the proxy provided (which is, by the way, came from this thread ) is not secured, and if exposed to the internet, everybody in the whole world will be able to connect to it and make calls ...

Since you're summarizing...

Guys, remember - MJ uses SIP, so all they can examine and verify are the SIP packet headers. So if you can make your ATA/asterisk/whatever to generate exactly the same headers as MJ dongle does, it should work. The problem however is that in many ATAs, as well as in different VoIP softwares, you can ...

teddy_b

Why don't you try and let all of us know

?
By the way, does it still work?

teddy_b

What Asterisk version are you using?

If 1.6.0.x, then do not bother - it most probably won't work with MJ as it has a bug with registrations for non-standard SIP port (i.e. not 5060) - it sends the wrong Contact header in REGISTER messages. I believe that bug is fixed in 1.6.1beta, but it has not ...

teddy_b

I'm almost afraid to use my MJ in this manner for fear that it'll raise red flags.
That's the valid concern. Even if they don't cancel your service immediately, such usage defnitely will raise a red flag sooner or later. It's a good idea to limit the channels - otherwise using MJ without the ...

All I'm saying that if you search by "PAP2", you WILL find a whole bunch of threads discussing configuration of PAP2, including V2. If you have specific questions - do not hesitate to ask, but for generic configuration help search is your friend...

OMG... Why not just "PAP2"??

Yep, no longer works for me either starting today - even with the spoofer running on the 2nd machine

. Worked ok just last night though.

Looks like MJ proxies stopped passing through the P-Asserted-Identity header set by the spoofer...

What's the problem??

Go to my.magicjack.com , login and choose "CHANGE PHONE NUMBER". You'll be directed to a page where you can choose an area code, and see all available exchanges for the area code selected. You can click "Cancel" to get out of that page, your number will not be changed until you ...

teddy_b

Dial it as *67X*YZ-555-1212 where XYZ is your areacode - you'll still get the old directory assistance.

Or you can try 1-800-411-SAVE or 1-800-GOOG-411 as alternatives...

teddy_b

Here's the list of all currently available area codes.

teddy_b

There are several free 411 services. I wouldn't know if they all suck though as I never had a need to use 411 - information available online is usually enough for me.

The one that MJ is using is 1-800-FREE-411 (www.free411.com).
You can also try Google 411 - 1-800-GOOG-411.
Or 1-800-411-SAVE - that ...

YouMailFan wrote:users get my personal greetings vs. the default MagicJack greeting

You can record your own greetings for MJ voicemail too. You need to use option 0 - "mailbox options", and then option "4" - "record your temporary greetings". That will replace the default MJ one.

GuyOnTheAir wrote:the CID spoofing still works if you modify your hosts file on your mJ computer to point to another computer on your LAN

Have you tried to put the actual IP address of your MJ computer (like 192.168.0.2, or whatever it is on your LAN) to the Hosts file, instead of 127.0.0.1?

teddy_b

Caller ID = caller phone number.
Caller ID with Name = caller phone number and name.

If provider does not advertise Caller ID with Name, all you will get is a number.
Only number comes in with with the call, so to get the caller name and pass it to you, MJ has to lookup it in CNAM database. It ...

On the Router->WAN Setup tab, set the "Primary NTP Server" (for example, "pool.ntp.org"). You can add also "Secondary NTP Server", i.e. time.nist.gov - in case the Primary is down.
On the bottom of "Voice->Regional" tab, set your correct timezone, and the "Daylight Saving Time Rule" to:
start=3/8/7 ...

Hmm... Can you run the softphone and make/receive calls on multiple computers then? Have you tried?

teddy_b

For me the vmail indicator is not reliable - it only worked a couple times. And when it worked, it turned the softphone indicator green, and lit up the physical phone indicator. Although when it happened last time, it did not go off after I deleted the message, and I had to restart MJ in order to ...

Is it the same as Telco AC-211-SR?
If so, do you know how to load config files into it via Web Interface?
If you do, just create a config file containing the following:

Well, I believe the problems you described are on MagicJack side, and you can do nothing to address them :(.

I'm using MJ for longer than a year (just renewed for a 2nd year about a week ago). Last year choppiness has been a problem on about 30-40% of all calls, so I get used to hang up and dial ...

AFAIK the only way to replace a MagicJack is to buy a new one for $40. Just remember to chat with Customer Support BEFORE you register your new Jack to reassign your old phone number to it.
I wish they have a replacement program so you only need to buy a jack for $20 with no service fee - but I ...

teddy_b

why you "assume" that the other posters have not made any effort"
Nobody assumes that... Only that you have not made enough efforts :)... Still every once in a while somebody starts ranting about people not giving away the information.

But how come you guys missed the main point?! MagicJack ...

teddy_b

I don't remember when I had a problem with MJ last time - must have been at least several months - but today only every 2nd call I make or receive is successfull. On half of the calls I either could not hear the other party, or the other party doesn't hear me, or call doesn't connect at all. This ...

Never used MagicFix while it lasted...

Here's however some Java tool available on MJ site right now:

Is that what they called MagicFix before?

Vonage router?? Does your internet connection come to your computer via Vonage VoIP router? If so, it's most probably the reason for your issues - the Vonage router (which is also an ATA) will not allow VoIP traffic to go through (at least not with default settings). Try to connect your computer ...

Taken83oveR,

Did you also have to specify "Voice Mail Server" in the settings to make it work? Any other settings other than "MWI Serv=yes" and "VMWI Serv=yes"?

Is Internet normally available for free on cruise ships, or there's a charge for time or traffic? Is it wireless, or wired (in a cabin)?
Are all cruise lines the same in that regard? Specifically, I'm interested if there's any sense to take MJ on Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) cruise...
Thanks!

teddy_b

Are you using the internet during calls for anything else, especially P2P applications? If so, the router with QoS may help solving the problem...

If however, you MJ call is the only internet activity at the time, you might simply have a defective MJ or phone.

My patch is obsolete; an official upgrade has fixed the problem.
Thanks Stewart!
Yes, I got the update a couple days back, and it seems to work much better with DTMF now. However, not perfect yet. I have an international calling card with 3 access numbers (all local #, not 800). 2 of them work ...

Something like the Linksys SPA units cost much more but you get a whole lot more. You can setup custom dial plans and multiple sip accounts for the same line.

jeffnyc,

I mistyped it - it's 4-yr renewal option, not 5 - so you'll only be commited to 6 years :). And if you would be me and purchase only 1 year initially, you'll need to commit for 5 years total. But that's me - I'm going to renew for 1 more year when the time comes - what's the point to spend ...

The best way would be to get UPS to plug in your computer, router and phone... Seriously...
They are not very expensive, and Staples and Office Depot run sales often when you can get one almost free after rebate.

That happened to me before, more than once...

The easy solution is to unplug your MJ, and plug it in different USB port as HolmanGT suggested. If your MJ used to work before on the other port, this will most probably fix the issue - but you will not be able to use MJ anymore in the original USB ...
