magicJack and magicJack Plus Support, Reviews, FAQs and Tricks

About three months ago I started having trouble with my thin client. At first it would simply disconnect from the internet. I tried re-booting and reloading magicjack software and it would be fine. However after several weeks of having this problem, it finally disconnected for good. I could not get ...

I had been experiencing the problem described by pbjandfritos in the initial post, too. About 4 weeks ago I followed the advice given by Xkahn in his August 24 posting. It worked perfectly! Thanks to Xkahn.

A few weeks after I entered the last post, I noticed more problems with people complaining about the audio on my side of the line breaking up. I could hear the people on the other end loud and clear, but they could not hear me clearly. After a few more calls I noticed the problem existed only when ...

It has been about one year since I first started using the thin client with my Magicjack. Here are my conclusions at this time:

1. Magicjack is not a scam but is a legitimate business. The environment in which you implement Magicjack will determine how well it works.

2. While some people may ...

It has been about six months since I installed my thin client and things are still going well. Here are some key points and remaining problems at this time.

Magicfeaturesplugin offers a number of other features including 7 digit dialing of phone numbers within ...

I have gotten this message from time to time, too. I don't know if there is any true cause and effect from these solutions, but they seem to have worked for me:

1. ) Try clicking on the Magicjack icon on the desktop. Sometime it works after several tries.

2.) Try rebooting the computer with the ...

Try a powered USB hub. I can't guarantee it will work, but my current MJ setup uses one. When I remove the USB hub from the setup and plug MJ directly into my computer (HP thin client), I get no dial tone. With the powered USB hub everything works fine.

I tried your suggestion and it works! After I did the commit, it asked me if I wanted to disable or enable the write filter. I chose to enable the write filter. What does the write filter do? Is this the option I want?

I have downloaded the trial version of the Magicfeatures software to my thin client and it works great. However when I re-boot the thin client, the Magicfeatures software disappears and I must re-download the software from the pcphonesoft.com website. The thin client does not have a writable hard ...

Is it necessary to be a Skype subscriber to use the Skyjack plugin?

It has been about three months since I installed the thin client for use with my Magicjack. Here is the current status:

1. The broken audio is totally gone. Occasionally there is a blip for a fraction of a second, but no audio is lost. There is just a short silence and the audio returns without ...

I found I could not use my phone system without the powered USB hub. I suspect you will need one on the Wyse Thin Client. I don't know if the techniques and tweaks for the HP Thin Client will work on the Wyse Thin Client, but you might try them if necessary.

I have read that there are computer ...

I took the plunge and bought an HP Thin Client. I bought it from EBay for about $100. I connected the Thin Client to my router with an ethernet cable. My main computer remained connected by a wireless network. After some problems with the initial installation, I got it working and it works great! I ...

I am at wits end with my Magicjack and am considering getting rid of it. Almost all my calls have broken audio of some type. I bought a powered USB hub and this seemed to help some, but I am still getting broken audio on almost all my calls. I have also tweaked some computer settings as recommended ...

I have had my Magicjack for close to a year. For the first 10 months it worked well with occasional problems. The occasional problems were generally minor and lasted for a few hours at most.

About a month ago I started having problems with choppy audio. Close to 100% of my phone calls had broken ...

I have just succeeded in porting my home number to Voicestick. I have some additional information about per-call charges. There are some charges for each call. Here is a history of my call forwarding via Voicestick:

1. Before I ported my home number to Voicestick, I tried some test calls from my ...

I emailed Voicestick before I opened an account with them. They assured me there were no per-call charges if I used the Next-to-Nothing plan for call forwarding. They also indicated that I did not have to purchase any new equipment.

Try Voicestick Next to Nothing Plan: www.voicestick.com. For $1 per month they will forward all your calls to your Magicjack number. You must first port your number to Voicestick. When Magicjack porting becomes available, you then port from Voicestick to Magicjack and cancel your Voicestick account.
