Works better on PC than a Mac....why?

After wanting to pull my hair out several times trying to get MJ to work on my Mac, I decided to plug it into my PC. Wow, who would have thought things would be so different? I can now place outgoing calls consistently when it's plugged into the PC. I know I have things setup correctly on the Mac, as I can successfully dial 800-555-1212.

So what is causing the difference? Why does the Mac softphone only allow 800 numbers for the most part? I say most part, because once in a blue moon I can dial out on the Mac too.

Ugh! This is very frustrating.

No comment or this will sound like "Hi I am a mac and Hi I am a PC commercial"

Never had a mac so I really cant say why the PC is better with the MJ. I assume it has to be software compatabilty. Have you tried to run the MJ on your mac using the PC mode?? Assuming you have an Intel based mac that is.

I'm not sure why you are having trouble, but I've experienced the reverse. While caller ID does not display on my phone from a Mac, my overall experience has been much better on my Macs then on my PCs. Oh well. Sorry for your problems.
