We had this problem early and it was fixed earlier.When calling my MJ from an ATT cell phone it gave the following message - Your provider is routing the call improperly it should be a local no etc.
It was working fine but from today morning it has started again.
Anyone else facing the same problem ?

free2talk

Yes mine is working too i can call from my ATT cell phone to my magicjack number.What is the feedback on nettalk ? Is it any good ?

free2talk

Yes except that i have been using magic jack for more than 2 years now and now i suddenly need to give everyone a new number to call to.

free2talk

This is the exact reason why i did not buy the 5 year plan.Magic Jack was too good to last.
I was chatting with someone and then suddenly the chat window closed.
Seems they know EXACTLY what is going on.

free2talk

Well the upgrade date time stamp hs october 2010 on it.I still tried it and it still gives the same message when called from my ATT cell phone.
Its funny but i thought i would see a lot more messages on this topic.
Seems everyone is not affected ?

free2talk

I am getting the same message when i call from my AT&T cell phone and also someone with a vonage phone number who tried to call me got the same message.
Is it end of the road for magicjack ? Seems their business model is at the end of the road now and other carriers have caught up to its tricks ...

Hello All,
Magic Jack thin client for sale HP T5720 with 1gig RAM
and 1 GIG Flash.
I have also attached a nvidia quadro NVS 280 video card to the machine and an expansion slot so the video performance is much better than the stock on board video card.
PM me if interested .Price is firm.
Thanks

free2talk

That happens sometimes.Just enter ur email id which you have registered.
and the password u shud be good to go

VoipDude,
Upon installing the software does it change the USB device in any way by writing anything to it ?What happens if MJ pushes out an update.
I intend to use for both skype and MJ so the question.

free2talk

Holman.
My idea was to use the DPH 50 U which has 2 lines.One for the normal phone where i was planning to plug in the line from magicjack and the other line was to be used for skype.VOIP dude has gone one step ahead and says we can use the same dongle for both , wow...
Gotta try this out this forum ...

free2talk

Dude,
Can i switch between skype and magicjack on the same machine with one adapter between them.Thats what DPH 50U does and i would be surprised if the jack adapter does the same.

free2talk

Holman
Thanks for the reply.The device manager status is ok for all the installation.
No yellow excl marks.I managed to point the installer to kuser.dll and ks.sys
Everything went great.Thats why its strange that the TC is not detecting the
DPH50U.I tried getting into skype menu and changed the ...

free2talk

ok Holman bad news so far.i installed the A600U drivers and no go.Says dlink device not connected on the thin client.Uninstalled that and installed the latest dlink driver V1.01.The thin client does not seem to detect the dlink device even with the dlink driver.
Did you face this problem ? It seems ...

free2talk

Holman,
Thanks.Will use the driver suggested by you.It seems the Dlink drivers are a big resource hog(source - newegg review of this item)
and we need all the juice we can get from our magnificent thin clients.

The plan is to use magic jack on the PSTN port of DPH50U and skype for making ...

free2talk

So did Lisa ever get down to documenting the procedure for installing DPH-50U on a thin client running xpe ?
I couldn't find it on this forum for sure.If there are any pointers it would be great.

free2talk

Lisa,
Thanks for the reply.
My next destination would be skype but for now MJ is holding up well.
I'm using a HP T5720 and the voice quality is very good right now.
I don't use it for more than 200-300 minutes a month ,maybe less so its great.

free2talk

Lisa
Whats ur setup like ?
Can you use contacts from your handset to call like a normal phone ?
Does caller id show up on your handset for incoming calls ?
How is the voice quality ?

free2talk

Voicemail indicator DOES NOT light up on your handset phone with magicjack.
You do receive emails from them with a sound clip of the voice mail.

If you need the voicemail in your cordless then set it up to go to voicemail of your cordless phone base in 3-4 rings.That way your machine will pick up ...

Back to stuttering audio.With my setup being exactly the same MJ is at it again.Anyone else having stuttering problems since friday 13th Feb .

free2talk

better fot last TWO days...Area code 3232 lets see how long this lasts...

free2talk

Audio choppy and garbled today.I have a phone with LA area code.

Audio was good the past few days and its started to act up again.
With the setup being the same its got to be problems at their end.

Anyone else having problems with 323 area code ?

free2talk

I am running netflix thro my T5720 and it runs great.
As Stroths suggested just change your temp variable to point to an external USB drive greater than 4GB and you should be fine.
Make sure to commit if you want to use the same setting next time.

free2talk

Be wary of 'lucky you' fixes coming your way.
The last fix was the main culprit as everything worked fine before.
All they have to do is to enable us to go back to the last version.

The amount of time spent on making this thing work has been insane....

free2talk

I am thinking of moving too.
The sound quality varies for every call and after trying all the 'fixes' it doesnt work.Sound quality is choppy at times with some echo.
At times it works ok.So it could be a load thing and mj must have oversold its capacity.
One more possibility could be the new ...

free2talk

how do u reflash the bios ? can it be done from inside xpe ?

free2talk

Fading happens to me and i am on a wired connection - Thin client is wired to the router - use a panasonic cordless phone.
I have cable - 6mbps down 712 kb up.

The voice quality has deteriorated after the last upgrdae.

free2talk

I am running on a thin client T5720.It would be interesting to know if the others with a panasonic phone AND on thin clients are having this problem.

Time to move the jack to a laptop and see if that works better.

Whats ur setup ? Processor , RAM etc ?
Does your voice sound choppy at times ?
This has started only after the last upgrade and it was great earlier .Did you take the latest upgrade at all ?

free2talk

Reverting back to the old version is easy. You just have to run the upgrade portion of my suite with the URL in the config set to an older upgrade version. You can also manually run the upgrade file if you have it.

The problem is that the next time you start MagicJack, it forces an upgrade to the ...

free2talk

Thanks for the reply.It would help for future upgrades.My question was more on the lines of what do to revert if already upgraded.

The caller id on my panasonic phone started working today.
I removed all other USB devices from the 4 back ports on my T5720, it had only one port in use apart from the ...

same experience here as that of isleblue.

The hosts file entry is not working.(

That stopped working two months earlier.

Please post HOW you got the old update to stick. This is the make or break deal for me now as I can't use my phone with the current update.

Have you tried putting an entry in your host file ("dir host /s ...

Anyone able to go back to pre Dec 17 Version.The hosts file entry is not working.
Caller id not working anymore on my panasonic cordless handset and call quality has gone down since the new upgrade.Everything worked fine before the last upgrade.

Why fix something that aint broke ?? &!#(&#(#(

The caller id on my cordless Panasonic 5.8Ghz was working ok
untill magic jack's recent upgrade.Anyone have any clue how that is possible.
It worked for last 4 months.Strange !!!!

free2talk

John,
Some members of the forum here have put 8GB Transcend doms on their
5720.The 1GB limitation was only for the 5700.

http://ec.transcendusa.com/product/Item ... 8GDOM44H-S

free2talk

5700 takes up to 1 GB DOM.Mine did not read 2 GM DOM it showed up only 1GB in the BIOS.Buy 1GB for the 5700 and you are safe.

Any links pointers to the box / cover for the motherboard ?

What box does the motherboard go into ?
Do they make any for the ITX motherboards ?

free2talk

PTravel,
Thanks for the follow up.Its the video card i think .
I've got the Nvidia 64MB VRAM with me bought from ebay ,still waiting for the shipment of Expansion bay.Once thats in i would be ready to report.
Waiting for your website to be up.

free2talk

Thanks again.
I am going to upgrade the 5720 to the 64MB Nvidia and the PCI Expansion module.Will let you know how that goes.64MB VRAM is the min reqrmnt for hulu anyway so that should do it.If not ,well, i was planning to put a hard drive as well so the expansion module would come in handy then.

free2talk

Thanks for checking.
What is your Internet speed ?
Could you try with a direct LAN cable (if possible in your setup) to eliminate the wireless problem.
I think the CPU speed is also important for rendering the image to the display...Just a hunch not sure...

Hey PTravel,
Did you get a chance to stream HULU on your 5720 ?

Thanks for the reply.
I haven't upgraded my video card yet.I am planning to upgrade to 64MB Nvidia but wanted to confirm first.Hulu says it requires min 3 GHZ processor and min 64MB VRAM.I can upgrade the Video card but can the 1Ghz processor handle hulu ? If it works from your 5720 with ...
