Received MJ "My little bundle of joy" Today

Post by magicjackjoe »

MJ did what it said it was going to do in shipping. Went to install it. Had a small glitch that required downloading the upgrade - the wowser -PHONE CALLS - out and in - No Problemo :D Only problem now is that the ringer on the phone doesn't work. Contacted customer support - had no trouble getting to them. The problem is still unresolved. Am going to try another phone. But after all is said in done - for such a small investment- I am a happy little camper :D

I also recieved my MJ today. I encountered what I would bet is the same problem you had, after initial installation of drivers no registration screen appeared. After a chat with tech support I was sent the upgrade file and was able to register. I am more annoyed by that experience than you seem to be. The touted ultra easy setup of plug it in and off you go wasnt the case for me.

I didnt even think to try hooking a phone up. I immediately configured mj as a sip trunk in asterisk. I will try to remember to check for ringing abilities, but it will need to wait until mj breaks my asterisk setup as I wont be plugging my hardware back in until that point:)

In my brief testing call quality has surpassed my other trunks, broadvoice, voipjet, and various free providers.

Overall worth the loot, cheers

Not a fix, but it might work to dial from the softphone keypad, or from the computer keyboard (with softphone as focus).
