I went to MJ online support and found this MJ remover:

http://upgrades.talk4free.com/tools/mjRemover.exe

Has anyone tried this? If so, did it completely remove the MJ program and registry entries?

I just used it as I haven't used my Magicjack in over a year.

It seemed to work and removed it ...

Xen1969

Their engineers have been working on that for at least 6 months when I inquired.

Xen1969

It happens to me on some automated systems but not others.

It works for some of them.

Xen1969

"Jesse" told me yesterday that it would be elevated to "the high management"

The sad thing is Jesse or any of the others would spend 8 hours with me if I let them and it would never occur to them to elevate to "the high management" unless I suggested it.

I went in there yesterday simply to pass on ...

I don't know if this helps clarify anything (Stewart?) but to be clear I'm using the St. Louis proxy. I'm still having the Chicago dead air problem.

I switched to Nashville a few weeks ago and have been happy with the improvement.

I wasn't aware of this dead air problem because I am using ...

Xen1969

Conclusion: All calls from the PSTN to numbers served by MJ's Chicago POP site fail with dead air.

Stewart is right. After reading his post I decided to try myself since I'm also in the Chicago area using 630-847-xxxx

Tried from both an AT&T landline and U.S. Cellular cell phone. Both ring the ...

For some reason your chat session reminded me of ELIZA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

Anyone remember those early ELIZA computer programs? Where the computer talked to you like it was human?

Xen1969

Yes it will still be there.

Xen1969

Well I just tested mine to try and help you out.

It appeared at first to not be working like you said. I left a voicemail and waited 10 minutes and it didn't light up. It DID just now light up after I did Menu --> Advanced users --> Restart.

So now I don't know if they're working on it or if they ...

Xen1969

No it should light up AND send you an e-mail.

They may be working on voicemail or something maybe wait 24 hours and try again. Leave yourself a voicemail and leave it be for say 30 minutes. Still no vmail button lit up?

Xen1969

My MagicJack is working (630). Can you describe "not working" ?

Xen1969

Don't tell these same people that cell phone quality isn't always great either... they might notice!

Xen1969

If you use the softphone, the VMail button lights up when you have messages.

Others have reported that certain phones also work with lighting up when voicemail arrives.

You can check it of course by dialing your own MagicJack phone number. Press * then your password (default 1234).

Xen1969

Just curious... what area code is "full" ?

Xen1969

the concern department?? LOL

MagicJack should use UPS for all shipments so they all have tracking.

Xen1969

No way to fix the time zone currently. Hopefully it is on the short list of things to do.

Xen1969

If they didn't some of us early birds may end up having to buy hardware version two to keep up with all the good stuff.

This was one of my concerns when I bought my MagicJack back in December. I sort of expect to see a hardware version 2 at some point. Nothing to base it on besides my bad luck ...

Xen1969

There is no way to do it now except tear it down bit by bit. There are other threads on this board that detail how to do this on your own. MagicJack has not provided a way.

Like everything else, Dan says that a way to uninstall is on the to do list.

Ever get the impression there were never any ...

Xen1969

Mine is working again. Also got yet another upgrade when rebooting.

Xen1969

My VM light is not working either so its not just you.

Interesting... I ran magicfix to see what it had to say... it is stuck on "checking environment" for whatever the check is between "You do not have any programs running known to be incompatible with magicJack" and "Audio is propertly configured ...

Xen1969

I agree with crackerjack.

Direct link for locally installed trial version:

Very nice piece of software.

Xen1969

Just tested it with DuMeter and getting the same as usual (85/78 kbps) so its not the new codec.

Xen1969

I just got another upgrade... lets see what this one does.

Xen1969

I'm not aware that Caller ID blocking is a feature. I don't think it is?

Xen1969

I rebooted yesterday and noticed my softphone said the 911 was "not connected, service not available" or something to that effect. I had no green, yellow or red.

The only thing I'd done since the last reboot was install Spybot Search & Destroy.

Uninstalled Spybot, rebooted and my 911 was green ...

Xen1969

Great thread guys, thanks.

I recall reading a post somewhere (not here) where Dan said he has tried to participate here but it didn't work.

I think the admin here should maybe set up a user name and password for Dan and send it to him. He can change his password if he wants.

Despite all the ...

Xen1969

I have seen a night and day differance in the features just in the last month.

They certainly have made progress this month. If they make this much progress in each of the next few months we'll be in great shape. I would still love to see a status page or blog for communicating awareness of ...

How to become a reseller?

Try [email protected] maybe. That's the e-mail listed for contact on YMAX website.

Xen1969

I've only had two wrong numbers. I'm purposely being very careful who and where I give my number out.

Xen1969

Some people may have no other choice guy. MagicJack may allow them to at least afford the chance of having 911 at a price they can afford. I can't blame them for trying to get it to work. This economy has hit alot of people hard.

If an extra address line would help him settle his problem, I expect ...

Xen1969

I have 1.65.3714.2596 ?

I had the same problem for the first time the other day (double click to connect). Simply doing the cancel at the registration prompt restored it to working for me. I'm on a wireless connection so perhaps at the instant it needed it I didn't have a good signal.

Have you ...

Xen1969

Anyone recall what used to be under "Advanced Options" in voicemail?

It appears they've removed whatever used to be in there. Your only option now is to hit * to return to the main menu.

This is different than the option to change folders and mailbox options (which has the greetings options and ...

Xen1969

Don't know how I missed this thread in the past.

XP built-in firewall at the moment. I've used ZoneAlarm Pro in the past.

Xen1969

My USB fit was very tight when I installed mine. I mentioned it in a post here at the time. I didn't think it was going to work. Keep trying. Look at it though and make sure its not damaged first like Stewart suggested.

Xen1969

OK I've been playing with it to see what might be new.

MagicJack has FIXED the issue of not telling the caller when a voicemail being left gets cut off. It now says "Thank you, Goodbye" to you.

The bad news is they've reduced the time you can leave a voicemail. The first attempt was 1 minute 20 ...

Xen1969

I don't know what the upgrade does but I also got it after rebooting. Thanks for the heads up. Pray that it fixes a bunch of stuff.

Still think I'll hang on awhile before buying more years of service, but nice to see the option is there now when you log in.

Xen1969

I am probably the only one in this forum who does not have or even tried GC with my MJ simply because its free and I hate getting unsolicitated calls at home.I could be wrong but guess what I have recieved 0(zero) unsolicitated calls. :)

I haven't tried GC yet either. I probably will at some ...

Xen1969

Recording calls is not a feature of the MagicJack. I believe others have said that Grand Central allows you to record calls. You could use that with the MagicJack.

Xen1969

Yes you can leave it on all the time.

Xen1969

Right now its used to deliver information on the MagicJack.

How to set up voicemail, the fact that international calling is available now, another was for MagicFix, etc

Xen1969

Yes you can make calls from a cordless (or corded) phone. That is what I do. The software does pop-up every time you make/receive a call. I really don't find it that annoying. Worth the money saved.

There is an option to choose a big or small softphone on your screen.

Xen1969

Turn off voicemail, allow to change the number of rings, fix the time zone problem...

Fix the issue where someone can leave a longer than 2 minute voicemail (2 minutes is the cutoff) without knowing that only 2 minutes of it will be delivered. It doesn't beep or anything to let you know that you ...

Xen1969

From the time I plug my MagicJack into the USB port it takes about 50 seconds before I can make a call. As little as 23 seconds when restarting from the softphone (Menu --> Advanced users --> Restart).

The minimizing issue --> not normal.

Xen1969

MagicJack started showing signs of improvement with voicemail just last week. I assumed the issues you raised were taken care of since user SpamBox reported his phone was working with these features.

I just tested the stutter tone on my phone after leaving myself a message and it doesn't work ...

Xen1969

I'm glad things are working for you.

How many phones do you have connected now? (besides the fax)

An interesting read.

"And YMax says that in the near future a firmware upgrade will use remote wake-up (a feature that most motherboards support these days) to power up your PC when a call comes in. "

Xen1969

Looks to me like they are referring to 2008 PC Magazine Editor's Choice.

Having their share of problems but there are signs of improvement.

Xen1969

I'm even willing to give up 90% of the channels.

Xen1969

Yes do what Xen1969 said and also when you right click on a number that number will go into the dial input box... when you right click and delete, click on the "end" button to clear the input box because if you dont clear it and you pick up your phone to use you will hear nothing... you gonna have ...
