All of the sudden, nobody can hear me

Post by packen »

I've had this for a few weeks now with no real problems, now all of the sudden, I have to yell into my phone for people on the other end to hear me. I tried the magicfix and latest update with no luck. I tried different phones, no luck. I searched for this and read other posts but have not found a solution. I tried turning the volume up on the magicjack, no luck.

I love this thing but if I can't talk to nobody, it's worthless to me.

Anybody know what else I can try?

Try it on a friends puter and if it does the same thing on theirs, you'll know you have a bad MJ....if it works fine, then there is still something messed up in your system or setup.

I started having the same problem within the last 2 weeks. The system worked fine when i first got it but now people can't hear me even though I can hear them.

Thats about when mine went bad. I wonder if they made any changes or upgrades. I am going to try it on a different pc later today and see if that makes a difference.

I would hope someone could assist us by providing an answer. I will also try the device on my PC.

I've never had any sound issues....but have heard that if you have a router, try cycling it off/on. Another area to look is to make sure you don't have anything muted or turned down in your Volume control window. One other thing that seems to be an issue for some is the type of phone used.

I use a Uniden DECT 6.0 wireless connected to my laptop, then run wireless from my laptop to my wireless router. No issues whatsoever with static or sound quality.

If you've tried just about everything, before you decide it could be a bad MJ, take it to a friends house on their system and see if the problem is still there. If it works fine, you'll know there is still something messed up with your own configuration.

Post by smileejack »

I am old poor woman who thought cutting monthly ph bill would be great. I have fairly new 6 month old gateway w/ vista home premium.Phone is Radio shack 5.8 cordless ph, main base in bedroom, 2 plug in extentions, kitchen, living room. also have little dog w/ coller for invisable elec fence. Signal was bleeding into bed room, they gave me small box to keep on floor to block signal from electrocuting him in bedroom. just trying to cover all info. I spent half the day yesterday on phone w/ my son, yelling, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? !!! He is hearing every other word. Can someone please please help me? I am not to computer savvy, but I can follow slow directions. E mail me would be ok, [email protected] Please help, I so want this to work. donna
