magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

I helped a friend register a new magicJack yesterday and wondered about this too. I went with the recommended and checked it.

My modem initialization string came up for my modem as AT&F&C1&D2&K3S7=90 . Not sure what the difference would be with the generic one you used. If I ever have any problems I'll try the generic.


I do have the 'Select the communication port your modem is on' checked.

Thanks again.

Works with Windows Server 2003 too.

When I had dishnetwork I was able to get them to permanently not charge the monthly $5. I couldn't get my VOIP service at the time to make the call so they discontinued the charge. Just need to bug them a few times.

I ported my home number to VoiceStick and later realized that there would be about a 3 cent charge per minute for forwarded calls. What I did was stop the forwarding and activate the voicemail feature. My message says that I'm not available right now and to leave a message. I also told callers that ...

I recently cancelled Net2Phone and ported my number to Voicestick and started to use my Magicjack fulltime which I've had for over a year. My mother uses dialup internet and I've noticed that everytime she is on and I call using MJ that I get the same symptoms as noted above, dead air then dial tone.
