magicjack needs help
no the police did not show up...i am a cop......the 911 service they promise is not working.....i had members of my family that have medical problems and 911 is important....as far as not doing any thing on this forum you are mistaken....i have done everything magicjack said to do......and have no tech support worth a [email protected] tried alot of things on this forum.....so i took it to work and plugged it into a massive computer used by the police force....same results
Hmm... you didn't need to create a new thread but i get what ya mean lol.... Ok as far as your family neednign medical attentions.... NEVER EVER EVER trust VOIP especially if your family frequently needs 911. You could possible make it so when you dial 911, it calls the local police number but I would not rely on it. Just find ANY old cell phone. All cell phones can call 911 if they have service or not. so just keep an old phone on and handy in the house. If there is a medical emergency just dial 911 from the cell phone and your good. As far as your issues with call quality, what kind of internet do you have, are you using Windows XP or Vista, and what kind of router you haev.robot wrote:i strongly suggest having the local # to the cop station avalable to call instead of 911

Yep, I keep my phone always in my pocket and keep it charged always.... Also my whole family has cell phones always with them so no use keeping "911 phones" around the house.dukeomaha wrote:I heard about this years ago but was never sure if it's true.

That's not entirely true anymore. Most of the wireless carriers shut down older technologies (analog & TDMA) in favor of GSM 2G and UMTS 3G. AT&T wireless network officially discontinued analog & TDMA services on Feb 18, 2008:

So older analog & TDMA cell phones won't do you any good for free 911 calls on major wireless networks.
