MJ and VOIP USB Phone

is it possible to use a VOIP USB Phone plugged into another USB port, just like I would do with a headset and mic??

if so, what might the quality be vs an analog phone?/ And will the VOIP phone ring, like my analog one does, thanks

Several other threads discuss how to replace the MJ dongle with other equipment. Search for "dongleless" or "dongle-less" to begin your research.

What I am interested in doing is simple, leave the dongle plugged in, set the MJ to headset, and use a VOIP telephone plugged into another USB port, is THIS possible??

Thanks

Try it. Let us know.

The intent of my post was simply to find out if it works or not -- before investing in an internet VOIP telephone.

Anyone tried this before?

Thanks

I installed my internet phone (USB), selected it under handset and it works fine. The dialpad on the phone does not work though but the sound is good. Using a proper telephone plugged into the MJ is best though.

I see you bought an iPhone to use with MJ service. The ones they sell over here come with a touch screen instead of buttons. Go figure.

Seriously, the difference between whether the buttons on your USB phone work (and sometimes, also, the ringer) seems to be whether the innards of the phone contain the TigerJet chip as the USB-to-voice processor. Since this part of the interface is not standardized at all, each vendor's processor is slightly different, and the MJ softphone only has the right driver for TigerJet.

I've had the iPhone for a couple of years. Bought it for skype when they offered free skype out for a year. Just wanted to give it a try as I saw a few asking about a usb phone.
