how to register product

[hendrickracing2009]

I got a magicjack from radio shack yesterday and im wondering how to register it so i can get a phone number.I have read the directions and all i see is to put the magicjack in the usb port and a registration box will come up.I have not seen anyway to register it and im thinking this magicjack is a scam that all these people say is so good.I have been working on it for 3 hrs trying to get a number and i still haven't got one yet.Can someone help me with this please,Thankyou....

Follow these directions and it should work;

The problem might be that you don't have autostart on the USB port, you then have to start it manually. Try to start by downloading http://upgrades.magicjack.com/upgrade/upgrade.exe. Most likely this will do it.

I went to the link you provided and I still can not find out how to register the magicjack.I have the magicjack plugged into my usb port and my phone line plugged into the other end.I still have not seen a box come up that says how to register.Why is the so hard to figure out?They make it look so simple on tv,What is the deal?Help...

Do you have autorun disabled on that PC?

[hendrickracing2009]

No autoprun is not disabled on my pc.I put the mj in my usb port and all that came up was a picture of the mj saying something like tell you friends.I have never seen anything as difficult as this mj thing.

And did you let the commercial play out? It takes awhile for the boot process to go through the commercials before it even starts to load the operational software.

[hendrickracing2009]

So you say to put the mj in my usb port and log onto the mj website?Then let the commercial to play through before the mj even loads into my compter?Why does it take all this work before you can use the mj?They make it look so simple on tv,If i knew it was going to take 3 days to get to use the mj i wouldnt have bought it.

its not that hard ...

first relax, it'll work [assuming your PC isnt broken]

plug in the magicjack, then go get ya some coffee, the software installed automagically for me, but it DID take awhile on a 5 year old PC [ yes it works on the old pc, along with some other programs running too ]

after a bit, you'll need to enter some information, so keep checking on the PC.

wish i could remember details.

double click the magicjack screen & it brings you to registration.

registration would be easy (if your computer is not locked up with all the firewalls) sometimes a router might get in the way. but a simple port opening would do

*anyway a friend of mine have difficulties registering using his ALLtell (aircard) and chatted with so called MJ TS. and said that mj would have some problems with aircards, considering its signal strength. . bla bla bla. .
anyway he tried his mj at home, it worked with my DSL though (registration)

are you conected to the internet. ???

-While connect to broadband internet, plug your MJ in to a USB port on you computer.

-If the MJ software does not start running automatically, go to the drive labeled magicJack on your computer and double click on the autorun.exe. This should start the MJ process.

-If it still does not connect to the MJ site to register your MJ, then it may be a problem with your router blocking the ports MJ uses, or a software firewall running on your computer doing the same thing. Turn off your firewall if you have one running and see if that fixes the problem. If not then it could be the router needs to be configured to allow the MJ to connect.
