MagicJack down today, 2/24/11 @ 2:30pm EST?

Post by mhoffman5 »

I was on a call at 2:30pm EST when the phone stopped working. looking at the MJ software it said it was not connected. I restarted it and received an error 3 which means not connected to the internet. My internet connection is working fine as I'm able to post this. In trying to goto magicjack.com and anything associated with it I get the cannot display the page message. So I'm wondering if this is a larger outage? Anyone else having problems today?

Same problem here as well. The main website "magicjack.com" won't come up at all either.

Same problem here....I am on comcast - any others on comcast that are having this problem..I have a feeling it is a DNS issue maybe with comcast...this is a usual occurance with them. I can't get to other URL on the internet besides magicjack.com

Its happening here in East Tennessee also...I thought I was losing my freaking mind. I just got the thing 3 days ago and I figured Somehow I messed it up because it was working too well...Is this something I can come to expect from their server?

To be honest I have had all kinds of problems with my Comcast internet I never had before adding MJ.

I think the Comcast COMMIES are screwing with things. :!:

Can you guys with the problem ping magicjack.com

Code: Select all

Pinging magicjack.com [67.192.83.142] with 32 byte

    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0%
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 26ms, Maximum = 33ms, Average = 28ms
That's my results of a ping. Try pointing your browser to 67.192.83.142 and see if you can get to the mJ page. If so then I would agree it is a DNS problem.

Same phone Issues here!

Post by JoshC »

This is annoying, same thing happened on my end, phone dead, site dead... it's nice that they have an email or something go out about issues like this that last longer than an hour... oh wait they don't... pissed!

Comcast user but all internet is good... anyone else....

I just got a voicemail from someone trying to reach me... this is odd, I would think that they wouldn't be able to get my voice mail if the server is messed... Anyone else get voice mail's?

It's Comcast.


I can access MJ and services from another ISP other than Comcast.

I'm so sick of Comcast's commie antics anyway. This will be the final reason for me to tell Comcast to go F%#$ themselves.

On phone with Comcast now. The rep. is "checking on it"

It is looking like a Comcast issue, rather than a mJ issue this time around. I can get to the sites just fine on CableOne. Try pointing your web browser to 67.192.83.142 and I bet you get to the mJ site.

If it is any consolation, NetTalk is down today.

PS. Has anyone tried changing their DNS server to 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.1 and see if they can get through to MJ?

I was going to suggest trying that as well, as soon as someone with the problem verified that they can get to the mJ website with the IP address rather than the domain name.

Google free DNS servers are: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

Well there goes the idea of it just being a DNS problem. Maybe Comcast is blocking that IP for some reason.

Can your try to ping magicjack.com in a command prompt and see if it shows the IP even if it can't connect? ie:

Code: Select all

Pinging magicjack.com [67.192.83.142] with 32 bytes of data:
Does it first line after pinging look like that even if the pings are unsuccessful?
