what else? Magic Jack

Post by jean12000 »

I just hooked up my magic jack and tried to make a call. The sound
quality was awful and everything was echoed, any suggestions?

Have you changed anything on your system?

Sometimes just a redial will fix it. Unless it is doing it continuously now.

Every once in a while, if I haven't made or received a call for a while - before making the call I want to make, I dial my cell phone first and once it connects - hang up. Seems the first phone call sometimes is a little messed up - but after that it works like a champ.

Also what's your home network & computer like?
have you tried port forwarding yet if behind a router?
have you changed your personal firewall?
