neo1, I've decided you are a troll, so I won't answer if you respond to this post.
Your statement makes no sense. If you have wired phones, why in the world would you buy a wireless to make MJ work? It works best with wired phones.
Please stop saying "MJ is dangerous, I won't use it." If you aren't going t use it, go away. If you are using it, then post something worthwhile.
I'm not sure what a troll is but I do not think I am one. I am a new user with concerns. Calling someone a troll sounds like an attack to discredit someone. Please stop it.
The reason MJ would not exist with my existing phones is that they are Trim-line phones powered by the phone company. There is no external power. The phones draw too much power for MJ to ring the phone, for example.
I do not believe I ever wrote here: "MJ is dangerous, I won't use it." Please do not mis-quote me. I did say something in regards to being very concerned with the spyware issue and I will infrequently use it. I would like to see this put to rest one way or another. If it is, and they provide an uninstall program, I would consider it an excellent product from what I have see so far.
Please be nicer to others, especially new users.
Thanks
neo1,
Want to know what a Troll is look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
And this is part of your problem with getting into trouble with folks here, don't wine and cry about things you know nothing about and if you don't know look them up - "This is the World Wide WEB". Asking what a troll is, is like asking one of us what time it is. Take a little effort on your part to turn around and look at the clock on the wall, why should we do that for you.
Explain what you mean by a "Trim Line" phone. "Trim Line" is an AT&T brand name for a type of phone also commonly called a "Princes Phone". If you are in fact using an AT&T "Trim Line" you must be well over 60 years old to even have one of those beast and the phone must be of the same vintage. Those are extremely old phone and the fact that they don't work with MJ or anything else these days should be no big surprise.
Go to Wall-Mart, Big Lots or Best Buy and buy a a modern all electronic phone."Slim Line", "Princes" or whatever they want to call the modern equivalent of an AT&T "Trim Line". You know something common to the 21st century. An AT&T "Trim Line" phone is good for collectors of old phones - period.
As far as phones powered by the phone line, that is the normal method for a "Phone" to operate. Go anywhere and buy a normal phone and you will discover that all "just phones" have no power plug in.
If you buy a phone that is wireless, has answering machines, bell, buttons lights and whistle it will have to be plugged into a power source to run all the "Features" not particularly the phone.
One reason for calling you a Troll (I hold my opinion on that for the moment) is anyone that is truly complaining about MJ not be able to run an AT&T "Trim Line" is either not very aware of the world around them or thinks the rest of the know Universe is stupid.
In a nut shell a true "Trim Line" phone uses a lot of power just to run the touch tone pad and as far as not ringing -
no big surprise, it has a one pound vibrating solenoid with a bell clapper. Now be honest does that sound like a phone that would work correctly int the 21st century?
PS - My mother has an old, old phone like yours and at least once a month she asks me to make it work for her. - But she is 84 years old and doesn't know any better.
).
If you are really concerned about MJ isolate it off on another machine and don't let it have access to your personal LAN. Which by the way is exactly what I do. So if someone hacks into my MJ machine that is the end of the road for them and their is no personal information on that machine. If they trash my MJ machine it takes me about five minutes to reflash it.
