Wow...This Is Screwed!!!

Post by rayj00 »

If I take the Magicjack line off-hook, I hear dial tone, then call it from another PSTN line, I can hear ringing on the MagicJack line! Eventually VM kicks in.

Bug?

I should have said I keep the MJ line off-hook while I'm calling it from a PSTN line. I hear ringing through the MJ phone ear piece!!!

Try leaving the phone on-hook when calling from another PSTN line and see what happens.

Calls work fine in normal circumstance.

Can you try this:

Take your analog MJ phone off-hook.
Call the analog MJ line from another line.
See if you hear ringing through the MJ line earpiece...

So, you are trying to find a problem where none exists and everyone else is just trying to get the thing to work.

BTW, yes, I have a masters degree in Information Systems and over 21 years in the US Air Force as a digital systems technician. Why look for problems when as you say, it works fine in normal circumstances? Not many people would even think of dialing their phone number when it is off hook.

Well I have over 35 years in telecommunications.

It's not normal to hear ringing through the earpiece of a phone you just picked up!!!

Bugs are bugs.....and this is a bug. Probably the way they implemented SIP...

Carry on....
