Can't Recieve Incoming Calls

Post by matt9190 »

Just got in my MJ+. I can call out just fine and call quality is great. But when I call the MJ+ number from my cell phone (to test it), the call does not go through (ie. the phone connected to the MJ+ doesn't ring).

I searched all over the net and tried a few things and couldn't get it fixed.

Here's my current setup:

Cable jack > Cable modem > Router > MJ+

My router is a Linksys WRT54G2 flashed with dd-wrt.

I tried disabling the SPI firewall... that didn't work.
I port-forwarded ports 5060 and 5070... that didnt work.
I tried assigning a static IP to the MJ+ mac, then adding it to a DMZ... that didn't work either.

Im not sure what else to do! Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Did you check on your MJ account ( www.my.magicjack.com) to see if you have receive incoming calls enabled? Something you may have missed when you first set up your MJ registration.

Yes, the box that says "I elect to accept outgoing and incoming service" is checked.

I would try it plugged into your PC to see if it works then, if yes than you may need to play with some of your router settings ( like disable SIP ALG)
Of course you may want to try another phone too.
I would also try a better quality Cat 5 cable than the one wich comes with the Plus.

Just a few things off the top of my head, of course a search of this site might help too.

Here's some closure for any readers with the same problem:

With some more research, I found that the version of dd-wrt that Im running doesn't support VOIP. I tried looking into flashing an upgrade into the router so that it would support VOIP. As it turns out, my router only has 2mb flash and the new VOIP-supporting version is too large for it.

My next attempt at making this work is to get a network hub (cheaper than a new router) to bypass my worthless router.

Plan:

Cable jack

Cable Modem

Network hub --- MJ+
|
Router

did u elect to keep your current number?

I have the same issue going on with my MJ+ and found out that because I elected to keep my current phone number, there is NO WAY I can receive my incoming phone calls during this transition which can take up to 10 days. But that is the ONLY reason for the hold up, it's because I elected to keep my current phone number, so I just have to be patient..........FWIW. :)
