Interesting!

dtm

Good post VaHam!

I use an inexpensive UPS (APC-550) on my router and Obi110. This gives you not only surge protection but will keep your phone and Internet working for many hours during a power outage. It has been tested many times in the past few years and it is nice to still have Internet access on my laptop while ...

Not as long as Google Voice on the Obi is free and unrestricted. It is better than MJ ever was for a one time fee under 50 bucks.

Google to Acquire Motorola Mobility

Combination will Supercharge Android, Enhance Competition, and Offer Wonderful User Experiences

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA and LIBERTYVILLE, IL – AUGUST 15, 2011 – Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) today announced that they ...

But...when they do finally ship it you will get the 3 day shipping you paid extra for. It's a MagicTrickJack!

I don't blame you for telling them to take a hike!

At the rate we are going, they will be par value with US dollars by the time this thing ships.

From now on just call it the VaporJack.

Hi Guys,

1. DTMF Tones are not working properly thru this device. They work fine if I connect my handset directly to the phone line for example but not when connected thru the Obi110 device. I have to try entering them many times before the number I’m calling recognizes them.
2. Caller ID is not ...

dtm

I think the firmware came out on Sunday. Something to do with the SIP/IP dialing.

No beeps here just great voice quality.

dtm

Took the new firmware update by clicking the icon on my Obi portal page (I love that feature) and my Obi110 is just working like a fine Swiss watch. No complaints with the service so far. Anyone else have any cons?

dtm

I see Obihai has Obi110s back on Amazon for $49.99 with the coupon code. If anybody wants one they better grab it because they go fast!

My guess would be that it would show the original MJ caller ID but I have no way to confirm. My MJ has expired. I have my cell phone forwarded to GV and the original caller ID is retained.

dtm

I already registered at OBitalk.com ( obviously I did not add my OBi100 yet, duh)

I did the same thing when I ordered my Obi :? Just wanted to look around. I initially configured mine with the wizard and then manually. Now that they have the expert config on the web portal I have been using that ...

dtm

Another question. I have had a GV account since they became avail by invite, BUT I do not have a Gmail account. From what I have read here I HAVE to have a Gmail account in order for the OBi to work correct?

Hey Joe,
Although the new firmware says you can use it without a gmail address, I have ...

dtm

That's nice. But, it has nothing what-so-ever to do with the problem I'm experiencing with my Verizon Wireless telephone being unable to leave a message at one of my Google Voice numbers.

OK. I AM able to leave voicemail on GV from my Verizon phone. I thought perhaps it might be because you have ...

dtm

Installed the firmware with no problems. So far all appears to be working. I tested the MWI and it did turn off when I read the message.

@lcompton: I also have a Verizon cellphone. What I did was not use GV to check email directly via the cellphone but GV is set to ring the cell. Instead I set ...

dtm

Good morning!

I've been continuing my experiments and research on the OBi110 and I discovered some interesting things:

First, the OBi-attached telephone can directly dial and access Google Voice mail without the need for a PIN. This is interesting to me because it seems to work regardless of how ...

dtm

Take two blood pressure pills old man. Geez, you must live for the flame war. I am not going to participate in it. You need to chill.

dtm

Here's my dial plan:

(*xx|<411:18002464411>S0|<911:16106925100>S0|[01235678]11!|<:1484>[2-9]xxxxxxS0|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|<:1>[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0)

Since I can't call 911 on my dry DSL loop, I setup the 911 translator to call the 11-digit number for our county's emergency services center. I called ...

dtm

Hmmm, nailgunner pretty sensitive to my joking around. Interesting! He could just be the bullshit police. :lol:

Search back through this board and read some of my old posts nailgunner and you will discover that I am not out to get Dan or MJ. In fact I helped extend his ATA run by about a year ...

dtm

This is very nice. Where is the 911 mapping in the dial plan? I'm not seeing it.

The outbound call routing is done in the phone port DigiMap under 'Physical Interfaces'. From what I read in the config manual, 911 is by default routed to the line port. The dial plan I posted allows 911 to be ...

dtm

If anyone is interested here is my DigitMap for the OBi (set in the ITSP Profiles):

(*xx|<411:18002464411>S0|[235678]11!|<:1@@@>[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|<:1>[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0)

Replace the @@@ with your 3 digit area code.

This only works if you set the ...

Good afternoon, Joe.

See??????????? It started already....
Do me a favor and come out and openly support Obama so this way we know he will be gone soon :)

I'd rather die.:

I'll second that!

EDIT: One more thing... The call quality of calls through the OBi110 and Google Voice completely ...

dtm

It is good to see Google voice promoting the gmail chat application. Since that is the same technology that the Obi110 uses, it makes it less likely that Google will kill it. The Obi is basically a small computer running a firmware implementation of Google chat. This is a concept that is sure to be ...

dtm

I have little doubt that Obi is a fine product. But my personal opinion, and it obviously is only that, is that if you look at the issues that people have getting a fairly simple product like MJ and NetTalk (yes they have issues too) to work right, I think it's beyond reason to think that something ...

dtm

you can say RIP to Magicjack. Dan, you blew it Bunky.
The thing that most "proclaimers" overlook is the mass marketing that MJ has tapped into. Until some postings in this forum, I can honestly say I had never heard of OBi110.

I've been around since MJ was un-heard-of. They started out much the ...

dtm

"Sometimes, I feel like a mouse in a maze."

Ditto that!

dtm

Bought an OBi110 after Google announced demise of Gizmo5. I must say it works very nicely and I like having my dry DSL POTS line plugged into the Line Port for 911.

Like lcompton I am hoping Google doesn't squash this solution. It is darn near perfect. If they let it run you can say RIP to ...

dtm

He wants a filter that lets the VOIP registration packets go through to the dongle but redirects the VOIP call progress and voice packets to the ATA.

Probably not impossible but the programmer would have to know his stuff.

dtm

I let my MJ expire. I am through with them but as always the game intrigues me. If I was attacking this problem I would start here:

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

Then look for the PRNG algorithm.

Good luck guys.

dtm

I suddenly have this mental image of Clint Eastwood about to plug in his MagicJack.

"In all the excitement, I can't remember whether they changed my password 5... or 6 times. Hey punk, do you feel lucky today?"

dtm

Well it sounds to me like Dan is preparing for the big chill. They have fixed the dongle software so the password is hidden. I figure that very soon all the passwords are going to be changed and all the ATAs will go dark again.

I think this war on ATAs is a mistake by MJ. There are already enough ...

dtm

Thanks for posting. That was an interesting read.

dtm

So for you it worked, for me it didn't. You're lucky and you never had to deal with it. It was driving me nuts for days.

Hmmm, well there is no reason why it shouldn't work really. You must be doing something weird. Set the static IP within your router's assigned static IP range and rerun ...

dtm

I have always run my Linksys ATA with a static IP address. Never had a problem so I guess I am missing your point.

dtm

OK then, that's about all I have to offer. I had a similar problem and that cured it for me. Maybe someone else can help you.

dtm

Did you use the IP address in the MJMD5 config instead of the proxy name?

dtm

I have never managed to make this work either.

dtm

FWIW - Here is my dial plan which uses Google 411 directory assistance and also calls the 911 center directly if 911 is dialed on the phone. This also defaults to your local area code if only a 7 digit number is dialed.

(*xx|<911:1AAAbbbbbbb>S0|<411:18004664411>S0|[235678]11!|<:1AAA>[2-9]xxxxxx ...

dtm

"Can you guys explain your setup."

Download MJMD5 and run it on a computer that is on the same network as your PAP2. MJMD5 should be pointed at the talk4free proxy you use such as proxy01.miami.talk4free.com. I prefer to use the actaul IP address of the proxy instead of the name. MJMD5 also needs ...

dtm

Unless you have installed MJMD5 in the router firmware, you have to run it on another computer within your network. The PAP2 proxy should be using that computer's IP address and not pointed directly at the talk4free proxy. MJMD5 is essentially placed in between the PAP2 and the proxy server.

If you ...

dtm

line_1_proxy = proxy01.miami.talk4free.com:5070

Shouldn't this instead be pointed at the computer running MJMD5?

dtm

Use IP addresses everyehere. For example instead of using atlanta.talk4free.com, use 216.234.78.8.

Doing things this way removes the step of DNS lookup over your network/ISP. This will greatly reduce the problem you are having but may not eliminate it completely.

dtm

I bought a cheap KVM switch to switch between the TC and my old desktop it is sitting beside. It works OK and frees up a USB slot to boot.

Just an idea for you guys.

Gizmo5 is sure to become a competitive force now that Google has acquired it. Lets hope MagicJack is paying attention because Gizmo5 + Google Voice is already everything MJ is not. BYOD, Voice Mail control, and very nice calling features and call quality are already there. My only complaint with the ...
