Maybe.

Just got an email from Dan offering to off load his latest offering for 29.99 for the next 48 hours.

I don't see any radical improvement. Did I miss something? Should I buy one because I'm a sucker for stupid crap, and believe that one can't have enough phone numbers?

Thanks.

lymon

Thank you for your kind offer, I'm sure that I will take you up on it.

I have glanced at some of the RonR posts, which contain good information.

Localphone tells me that it could be up to 14 days before they get a number for me, so we wait.

What an awful hobby.

lymon

You can block inbound calls by number. I don't think there is a limit.

OK, I bought a few months worth of Localphone. From the description on their web site, I can forward calls from my new DID to an existing number, yet your signature seems to indicate that you are running a Localphone number as ...

lymon

Localphone seems to have a very nice price for DID, but re there any features associated with it? Is there selective call blocking and/or other call handling?

I can't find anything on their web site, or GOOGLE. I'm guessing at their price, all they are offering is just a number to dial into.

lymon

I have the usual array of voip stuff, MJ, Nettalk, GV on OBI110, but need something a little more full featured.

I'm looking at some of the pay as you go plans on Callcentric. You need to pick and incoming and outgoing package, in order to have a full POTS like experience, right?

Any opinions on ...

lymon

No line port = deal killer for me. Otherwise, looks nice.

lymon

Does it work on thin client?

lymon

I checked on the Obi forum, some folks were having problems after the latest firmware download, but I don't think this is the same issue.

I'm really not sure if it's the Obi, Google Voice, Nettalk or a combination of all. I was trying to call a South Carolina number, area code 864 via Net Talk line ...

lymon

There is a $12 a month plan with 250 minutes and 250 texts as well as several options available.

This looks pretty good. $24 for 2 phones and that gets you 500 minutes a month talk time and 500 texts. I'm not sure I'm gonna beat that. Porting's only $9. Might be worth the cancellation fee just ...

Page Plus Cellular http://www.pagepluscellular.com/Plans.aspx has some very decent prices. It uses the Verizon network and you can bring your own Verizon phone to be activated on Page Plus or buy one directly from them. You could probably find a used Verizon phone for cheap, possibly free if you ...

Got Email to sign up for beta online tv. After a bunch of hassle, signed up. Not sure what I got, looks like links to already available video content.

Too long on the road and too tired to it figure out. Anyone else got any input. Nite...

lymon

Former customers get the offer too. And, yup, I fell for it. Another phone number for less than $50, why not?

lymon

Still working fine thru my Obi also, FWIW.

lymon

Not really, pretty much straight forward. Just don't yank it open, as there is a speaker wire that could be pulled loose if you don't unplug it before opening the case all the way. Just open slowly, the wire and connector plug will be obvious.

Good luck.

lymon

Is 3 miles close enough to provide constant signal?
It depends on size/power . But it should be okay unless , off course , there is a mountain in between. Terrain is really important.

That is the strange thing, the tower is actually in kind of a valley, with limited surrounding population, were ...

lymon

That is interesting information, VaHam. Did you retain cell service (assuming that you have cell service)?

lymon

I hear ya. We have Verizon, Sprint and T-mobile cell phones at home, none of them can get chit for a signal without femtocell. My BIL can not get a decent ATT signal either.

There is an unfinished cell tower being installed on private property about 3 miles away, but it doesn't appear to be in ...

lymon

Strange co-incidence. I had been leaning heavily toward abandoning my POTS phone service entirely. About 2 weeks ago my Linksys router took a dump. No big deal, a 15 mile drive to Walmart and I was back in business within 3 hours (including shopping and untangling time). BUT--it also occurred to me ...

lymon

Joe typed faster than I did.

If your Magic Jack phone number exchange is not local to the caller, the caller will be charged for a long distance call.

lymon

I'm not sure if this is the same issue that I had, but the message was very similar and had me and Magic Jack stumped for some time. In my case, it turned out that I had entered the card expiration date in the wrong format. Instead of giving me a specific error message that the date was wrong, it ...

lymon

You know, that could easily have been the "register" message I saw. But, I'm certain the phone wasn't working either (I think). And no, I wasn't chugging PBRsor hitting the ganj...

lymon

VaHam, one clarification. I did finally get the wizard to display voipmyway on the dash, but instead of "connected" there was a register failed message and phone would not work.

Would there be any harm in trying to re-enter the configs with the wizard? Should I reset the manual configs to default ...

lymon

...If you do the setup using the wizard then when if/when you want to perform updates to the OBi software your sip account settings will be restored for you.

Virtually all of even the fancy features of the OBI can be managed using the "expert Mode" of the OBi website and IMHO is better than ...

lymon

With the OBi you have to disable auto provisioning.

From the phone connected to the phone port of the OBi dial ***1

The IVR will read the IP address of the OBi. Write this down.

Enter the IP into your browser and the configuration page will load.

Go to System Management > Auto Provisioning ...

lymon

Did you try VOIPMYWAY customer service? They seem to be pretty accessible and may have encountered your issue with another Obi user.

Yes, I did and they were very helpful with several suggestions, but I don't think they stay up all night to accommodate my odd hours. :) I just thought there might ...

lymon

One would think that the OBi forum might be a better place to ask, but their last VOIPMYWAY post is from May.

Anyway, I signed up for a VOIPMYWAY account and attempted to set up the credentials etc. on my OBi110 following the manual setup directions from the PDF on the VOIPMYWAY site. Everything ...

lymon

Amazon seems to be out of the discounted OBi110s, while they seem to still have the OBi100s with the discount

On another note, Laserjobs, thanks for the heads up on this deal, do you have a newsletter? :D I just got my OBi110 today and have not even bothered to set it up yet since I have run out of ...

lymon

I took the plunge to this new toy and the Add coupon code: NTLKISCRZY for 50% off is WRONG. If you really think about it i'd be worried if it was 50% off like they were going to go out of business or something. The code is good until 12 A.M. tonight EST. So the Duo will cost you $66.04 shipped ...

lymon

I'm just wondering why this is posted under "magicJack Tips, Tricks, and Hacks"?

Ummm, a tip to quit using MJ? A Halloween trick on MJ to switch? Wait...wait..give me a minute...I'll figure it out...don't tell me.

There isn't really any other place to post such things and the precedent was ...

lymon

WTF??? Why did I come here today? I don't need another phone of any kind and yet I seem to have ordered a Nettalk. Well, thanks for the code--I guess...

lymon

Wow, that is really amazing! How the heck do they do something that is impossible? I'll bet it's really expensive and ineffective. Please do provide details.

This is the only file you need to d/l, unzip it to usb a thumb drive and run it from your TC.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct file, I just downloaded the newer BIOS unpacked it on my laptop, copied it to a USB flash (thumb) drive inserted the USB drive into my T5700 and launched the bios update from the desktop in XPe, restarted my thin client went in the bios and now my TC restarts ...

I need to make work router D-Link DI-524 with MJ. I have open ports 5060 and 5070 of the same, inclusively I have placed the IP of the PC in DMZ, but it does not work. It only works when the PC is connected directly to cablemodem. I need guide to me, please :?

My DI-524 also works fine with ...

lymon

Thanks Paul but, I have the most current release of Xpe available and the BIOS still does not contain the power up option.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to resign myself to turning the silly thing on every so often or wait until I get smarter.

lymon

Weird. The monitor works on other PC, right? In any case, let us know what you find out, just out of curiosity.

lymon

Does the green power light on the front light up when you hit the on button? I'm assuming it does since you said you powered it up. Can your son return it for refund or replacement?

lymon

HP is one of the best for ease of downloading and installing. The SoftPaq's (SP) files are download to computer first (not thin client, it needs to be downloaded to laptop or desktop). Once downloaded, click on file and follow the instructions. TC software will then need to be loaded onto a USB ...

lymon

I believe what your looking for is the top choice on the list at the following site http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=379363&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=339208&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1058#120

Well VaHam, that was a humbling ...

lymon

I have an older T5700 which does not seem to have a BIOS option for auto restart after power loss. I've searched the site, googled the snot out of it and, the best I can come up with is that there "may" be a BIOS flash to enable this feature. I can't find it--anywhere.

Can anyone definitively say ...

I need to renew one of my magicJacks service accounts and want to use a prepaid credit card. I am looking for known prepaid credits cards that work with magicJack online renewal.

I used a single use credit card number generated by from my PayPal account. Others may work too but, this is the only ...

Isn't this what 1 use card numbers are for?

After months of research here, I purchased a tc listed as a T5710, 800mhz 256/256, updated it with a 2GB transcend and 512 Ram. I tried every guide here, and I cannot get it to boot. Neither of Stroths images worked, jeepsters guide got me up to the xp boot screen, but locked up indefinelty on the ...

If using MagicJack for your call center phones, the primary thing is to have a rock solid product/service that does not require any telephone support

lymon

...I haven't noticed much degradation lately. But, I don't use it a lot. 3-4 times a day.

If there has been a deterioration of quality, I wonder how much it could be related to the "Black Friday" sales push (Radio Shack, MagicJack direct sales). When I heard supply couldn't meet demand, I was ...

lymon

I pretty much agree with wipeout97, I don't think that magicjack is going out of business anytime soon but, I am only going to renew year to year just in case :wink:

On the other hand the performance of MJ has gotten better in my case, since I originally bought it. I'm running it on a 1GB thin ...

lymon

...I Hope everything goes/is well with your TC. I just purchased a HP Compaq T5700. And in the specs it says that it has a 512/512 max capacity for flash and ram :( heres the specs...

You've probably got it figured out by now but, the T5700 will nicely handle a 1GB flash DOM even though the ...

What was wrong with his visualware results?

Dunno, what's your take on it?

It seems so much easier to just go to visualware and be done with it.

I get all sorts of weird speed results from it that don't even come close to matching any other internet speed test sites. Besides testyourvoip ...

lymon

Testyourvoip is sensitive your JAVA version. Before I upgraded my JAVA it would just hang up my session with no indication of what was wrong. Try a JAVA upgrade and see what testyourvoip says.

I've had MJ for several months now and it has worked well for me 99% of the time and I have a relatively ...
