I had this problem when I initially setup my MJ back in March. I tried the infamous MJ chat but they didn't help much. After a couple days it worked itself out and has worked since. I don't know if they did anything or not.

I was told this in live chat.....i will keep everyone posted on the outcome.

i want to change number but i do not want to use my grace change of one time i am going to wait to see if they have a fix sometime tomorrow....if not i will just change numbers and see if that fixes the faxlike sound people are getting

oh i have to add this

Post by decadude »

they forced me to use my change number one time grace change, lol

oh well easy come easy go, i am not really complaining b/c this is something that is too good to be true so if we get numbers here local in my area then i will gladly pay the $10 i just think it is silly they pretty much told me they would not let me change my number without using up my grace change.

anyways its all wroking now

time to try to get my fax machine working on this thing then setup thin client

thanks to all
