Excellent!...very curious to see how you did it...

BTW, Boy, do you work long hours!

joevv · Post by **joevv** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:53 am

ok here we go. first locate your mj folder. In winxp its C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\Application Data\mjusbsp. next you need to delete the file named big.skn or the small.skn. Then you restart your mj to reveal the softphone without the magicjack skin. Some of the old timers here will remember exactly what I'm talking about. Once you restart your mj there will be features available that you can't see with the mj skin.
The feature we're interested in here is the "Transfer" option.
Click on Transfer then where it says "number" at the top enter your mj number. Thats right you want to transfer the call to your number. Then under "conditions" at the botton check the radion button "on no answer for" right after that put 20 sec. in the box. Click ok to exit and save.
Youre pretty much done now. The mj skin will restore itself by simply unpluging the jack and pluging it back in.
Try calling your mj and you will see that now it will just ring forever till you pick up the phone. Now you can set an answering machine to pick up at what ever number of rings you wish.
This is great for the people who take for ever to get to the phone. No more running because mj picks up on the 4tth ring. The phone will simply just ring forever.
To enable mj voice mail again simply repeat the steps to reveal the "transfer" feature and uncheck the radio button and all is back to normal.
I did notice a side affect to this. The call log will show multiple missed calls when someone calls depending on how long it takes you to answer the phone. In other words if you let the phone ring 8 times it will show two missed calls even tho you answered the phone. No big deal but just wanted you to know that.

Ps. if you get an error that you can't delete the skin file its because you're trying to delete the one in use so if it says you cant delete big just delete the small and make sure you switch to the one you deleted before you restart mj or you won't see the basic skin with the hidden features.

I hope all this is clear I'm very tired right now just worked a 14 hour shift .

Then you could also do it by changing the registry values at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\talk4free\USB Softphone\Options\Calling Options

CallForwardingEnabled 4 (decimal)
CFNoAnswerTimeout 20 (decimal)

nice works good i did mess up and add my wrong number lol dont know how i did that but after i set my right number it puts it in a loop thats why you get miss calls after so many rings cuz its calling itself in a loop but it bypass the vm and recalls itself and keep the line alive nice find thanks

Is this setting stored locally only or does it make the change on the MJ servers as well? Curious as to if this change will stick if an ATA is used after making the update.

Nice work, but i think this will only work locally, and with the use of the dongle I don't think you can actually change settings on the server.
The good thing is it works, so I am going to play with my setting in the PAP2T and see if it works.

Thanks for the input.

Its only stored locally. If you unplug the jack mj voice mail will pick up the call.

Weird my uniden 580 picks up on 4 rings and the other person keeps getting a ring maybe i need to change to 6 rings because of the 4th ring being right at the 20 sec mark when it forwards the call.

I will try thanks.

I just accomplished the same setup in my PAP2T by changing one setting in my user line.

Cfwd No Ans Dest: Your MJ number

This change will make your MJ ring forever until you pick it up.

If you are using line1 go to user1 settings.

sabresfan · Post by **sabresfan** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:22 pm

Instead of using your own number I just tried my googlevoice number on the top line and my home phone rang eight times. I have this setup for my home phone only so now you can use googlevoice as your voicemail on your home phone if you want to and still have it ring instead of having to forward all your calls to this first and not have your home ring.

Hate to rain on anyone's parade but the fix doesn't work for me. I'm using a first gen MJ on a TC with the 6/19 firmware and WinXPE SP2 on the TC. Made the changes via the "transfer" method and restarted the MJ. Verified that the correct call forwarding settings were in the registry but MJ voice mail still picks up after four rings. Thinking that vm was picking up before forwarding could take effect I reset the interval to 15 seconds but it didn't make any difference. Anyone else with my setup get this to work?

Yes but for that you need a router running a proxy server with mj installed.
There are several Stickies on how to run the proxy on routers running, DDwrt, Open-WRT or Tomato Linux.
My router is a Linsys WRT54GL running the DD-WRT dd-wrt.v24_std_generic sp1 and the instructions are in this link.

It just make me wonder why MJ never wanted to list this as a feature to have the ability to transfer calls. Out of all the features they have I find this feature to be the best. Add in google voice and now you get some really nice features that could run alot more with other providers.

I tried it on my PAP2.

Cfwd No Ans Dest: MJ number
It rings a few times, then I get thrown into the test message guy. This Ymax call was successful, blah blah.

Cfwd No Ans Dest: Google Voice Number
I get thrown straight to google voicemail, no ringing and it ask for my pin.

I'm also using an ATA and I get a slightly different behavior. Whether I enter my MJ number or my Google Voice Number I always get the following Ymax test message after the 4th or 5th ring "You have reached the YMAX communications test number. This call was successful."

EDIT- I changed the Cfwd No Ans Delay: value to 30 and 60 and now my MJ voicemail picks up after the 5th ring just like before. But the fifth ring comes pretty close after the 4th ring. I'd say the timing is more 4 and a half rings, if that makes sense.

I am able to delete the big skin file, but when I restart MJ it pops right back. What am I doing wrong? Maybe if I got rid of the voice mail my phone would ring. Now, every call goes right to voice mail unless I have just run the upgrade.

Forget the skin files. Forget the non-GUI softphone.
Here's what you want to do for Call Continuous (w/o vmail & w/o problems):

Run the Registry Editor (regedt32.exe), and Navigate to this hive entry:
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\talk4free\USB Softphone\Options\Calling Options

Set CallForwardingEnabled = 6 (ie: 2 (Busy) + 4 (No Answer)) (OverRides CFUnconditional (ie: 1))
Set CFBusyTarget = MJ Phone #
Set CFNoAnswerTarget = MJ Phone #
Set CFNoAnswerTimeout = 15 (Every 5 [Seconds] = 1 Phone Ring; LEAVE IT at 15)

Make Sure:
AutoIgnoreCalls = 0 and/or AutoIgnoreTimeout (up to 16 only) > CFNoAnswerTimout

NOTE: Similar settings would apply to ATAs, too.

Run taskmgr.exe (you can leave regedt32.exe open), and Kill any/all of these process(es):
magicJack.exe (should be the only one running)
mjsetup.exe
MagicJackLoader.exe
MagicJackSplash.exe

Run (or make a shortcut of & double-click):
"C:\Documents and Settings\login-name\Application Data\mjusbsp\magicJackLoader.exe"

(where 'login-name' is the case-sensitive login that you use in Windows.
If you don't need to enter a password to login to Windows, you'll need
to look in the above 'folder' structure, and find the name. In these cases,
it's often "Owner" or "Administrator")

Your MagicJack should run (unless you have USB comm issues, in which
case you'll need to eject/unplug/plug your MJ dongle).

That's it...
Hereafter, all you do is...nothing...run MJ as usual.
If an update changes these registry settings, just re-apply.

[shameless plug coming...

]
If you don't want to do it manually, and you want more functionality,
you are welcome to check out MagicBeans®, and beta test it, if you like.

As far as I know, only one guy was running XPe, and I don't know that he
had any issues. But then, the feedback I got from him was only In Re to
Unconditional Call Forwarding, which worked. You're welcome to
send me the info (Win Version & SvcPk, CPU & Memory & make/model,
you're email you'll use for registration (permanent one), and name).
Email or PM me with this, and I'll get you the beta test info. I'm
(soon) releasing a new version which has additional call controls,
updated installer, etc.,. For purposes of this topic, you would want to wait
to download that beta version.

You can also call me, and I'll try to help you on this over the phone (not using
MagicBeans). PM me for my number or go to the url in my sig.

Sorry I bothered you guys by being in a forum where I do not belong. I thought this was a place to get help with a problem. I wasn't counting on being put down or insulted. I can follow instructions but I am not sure I want to mess with the registry....and I am not a "guy".

@sjbarden - I'm sorry...I didn't mean to go along with joevv's assertion
that "This guy can't even use his MJ normal." I was simply responding
to his acerbic comments aimed at me. I guess, from your perspective,
I caught you in the crossfire. Not intended. Actually, in my mind, I
questioned the statement, but I assumed he knew you somehow. Also,
my reply [regarding newbies in general] was also not aimed at "them."
If I felt ill toward newbies, I wouldn't have posted my help for you in the
first place (though I don't assume anyone is a newbie, unless they make
a statement that "tells"). Quite simply, I was peeved with just another of
joevv's many shots at me on the forum. Apparently he doesn't like that
I plan to sell my software (or something

). (What could be most
ironic about this is, if the 'vv' in 'joevv' are inits for his last name, he may
well be of Dutch descent (Van V-), and we may well be related.

)
Anyway, I was not aiming to shoot you in the process, nor to give
credence to his supposition that you don't know what you're doing.

Back to the issue at hand: The registry is not difficult; it replaced the
use of 'INI' files from earlier versions of windows. It is not a scary place,
and as long as you follow my instructions, you will have no problems.
You will hear all sorts of sentiments (spawned by Microsoft) about
"Oh! Don't ever touch the registry unless you're a computer guru!" But
as long as you don't do something like highlight a hive, and hit the delete
key, and respond "YES" to the delete prompt, you can go there without
getting the shakes. If you follow the simple instructions I gave, it will
work. If you have questions, just ask. I've been in the business of
computer software (and hardware) for over 35 years since I was 15 in
1975. I've consulted to over 60 corporations including HP, IBM, Intel,
Compaq and a bunch of others. I've worked with literally 10's of thousands
of customers, and have yet to have a single one mess up their registry.
That includes people from CEOs to production line workers. So don't be
scared about it. If you're running XP or newer, the registry is protected
in several ways, even if you royally screwed up. But there is no more
reason to think you'ld screw things up following my instructions, than
there is to think you'ld delete your whole C: drive, when you delete the
skin files. That was my point.

This *is* a place to ask questions whether or not you are a newbie on a
particular subject. Everyone's a born newb...

Sorry, again, for my part in making you feel bad. Definitely, you were
not my target.

Stop insulting people here.

Joe

If other people's ideas refers to the MJ, then yes I hope to make some
money off of their 'ideas.' Your 'idea' certainly wasn't original: you fell
into it playing around with the non-gui softphone MJ had written. You
didn't even comprehend the registry settings until later, when others
explained them to you. I had implemented call forwarding in MagicBeans
two months before your post. It originally had all 4 types of call
forwarding in it, of which I later removed 3 (leaving cf-Unconditional).

Yes, I was wealthy, until I got very sick and they couldn't diagnose
the problem. If you had read my thread, you knew that. I still have
plenty of fixed assets, which you seem to have become a part of.

I *did* have a problem with another guy. He, like you, had a problem with
my intent to sell MagicBeans®. Both of you resorted to making false
statements about the software, such as it contained a virus, and that
it crashed your system. You never registered the software, so you have
never even seen it. You don't know what it does beyond what is written
in my thread. But you and he represent less than .001% of the
people who have responded to me about it; the other 99.99% have been
very favorable. One even contributed a web hosting account.
Others have offered to market it, some on their own websites.

You are your own insult. No help needed from me.

Personally, I think you BOTH contributed good, solid ways to overcome the MJ voicemail issue and we, as the MJ users, can choose whichever one fits our style best. And I am grateful for the work that went into figuring out BOTH ideas, no matter who did it originally or who figured out which piece of code, etc. I'm just grateful to have a place I can come to in order to find answers to my MJ issues, cuz goodness knows mine has never fully worked right.

I've deleted the big.skn and small.skn but when I restart the magicjack.exe it just puts the files back and I can't see the hidden transfer feature. How do you restart the Magicjack to see this feature? By the way, I'm running Vista, but as far as I know, only the path to the Application Data folder is different - it's in appdata.

Forget the skin files. Forget the non-GUI softphone.
Here's what you want to do for Call Continuous (w/o vmail & w/o problems):

Run the Registry Editor (regedt32.exe), and Navigate to this hive entry:
...
That's it...
Hereafter, all you do is...nothing...run MJ as usual.
If an update changes these registry settings, just re-apply.

My thanks to joevv for the thread and vdot for the Registry method. My better half has been on my backside to "fix" the answering machine since switching to mJ. She does not use the 'puter as I do. anyway, I had to fiddle a bit with the values a bit (THX noetic1) and got it to work on the 3rd time. Happy wife, Happy life.

Thanks again vdot!
