There may be no thread because there is no drama with the service. I chose them about 12 months ago when my MJ device died. I have actually ported over my home phone (a number we have had for 30 years) . If you have been married as long as I have, you make sure it works flawlessly before making the ...

Take it to the lounge, take it to the lounge, take it to the lounge! All the political BS, attempts to sell crap etc. need to go to the lounge! Don't let it leak out to the rest of the forum. Please.

Were you able to resolve the problems you posted in April and June? They sound similiar to this problem. You never responded to the peolple who tried to help with those problems. Or is this just another attempt to keep your hyper link on the board?

just did a search of the forum with the phrese " canadian toll free". 1498 hits.

cdwaldron

Do a search of the forum using keywords canadian and toll free and you will find a wealth of info.

Linda,

What do you mean when you say you 'downloaded' MagicJack? There is a hardware componnt that needs to be purchased. Do you have that?

Good Luck.

cdwaldron

"Father Luke" is just a troll. According to his 'chat' he doesn't know the phone # of his MJ. Is his account active? He never answered joe's questions about when and where he purchased his MJ. Did he ever activate the MJ? Did he buy it on Ebay for $3 and now wants it to work? You can't believe a ...

cdwaldron

Joe and Darkman are correct about making sure it works for you before dropping your landline. Even if MJ works well for you , you may have reason to keep a barebones landline so people can still find you via the directory. Then you can use MJ only for calling out with free long distance. If you ...

Crackerjack,

Thanks for the info about CID. Much of it was news to me and explains a lot about MJs bare bones CID. Makes better sense now.

cdwaldron

No matter where they are posted, elitist xenophobic slurs are not appropriate. You may have the last word, left or right of center.

cdwaldron

go back under your rock. No sarcasm intended.

Gators-looks like you paid $220.00 for yours at Costco right? I got mine online for $210.0, that's with $15.00 for shipping. Both good deals. I should have mine in a few days. Lets compare notes. It may take me a little while to get it setup right. I need to figure out where the Hawking Broadband ...

Saxman,
Wasn't it just last year, Feb 2009) that you said you were swirching to Ooma? One year w/o problems is still good but I don't think you have 2 years with Ooma under your belt.

cdwaldron

It's function of Republican "cold shoulders" to any meaningful reform of the status quo.

cdwaldron

I doubt that you really want an answer. You gave up your landline before you did any research. Silly you! Do a little research and you can easily find how area codes and prefixes are bought.

cdwaldron

Are you using a phone that was made for the US market? Phones designed for overseas markets may not work with the MJ.
Good Luck!

cdwaldron

Used throughout Scotland and northern England last two weeks. No problems at all.

cdwaldron

Actually, cell14, it is indeed 5years. Bought my MJ in 7/08, bought 5 yr deal in Feb. 09 and mymagicjack acct shows service good until 07/2014

cdwaldron

For Dave's question. If I understand you correctly, you want to forward calls from your cellphone in the USA to your MJ number and you wonder if your MJ will ring if you have taken it to a country other than the USA or Canada. The answer is yes. With a caveat. Sometimes call forwarding has a hiccup ...

cdwaldron

Sorry, MJ does not offer us the ability to change the time stamp as of yet. Don't know if it is on their timeline to offer the option or not.

cdwaldron

when you use the drop down menu in the softphone, is the headset checked? Or the telephone?

cdwaldron

Nope, I'm afraid you only get one email address for vm.

cdwaldron

Click on the menu button of the softphone. A drop down menu will appear, choose volume and adjust the slide bars to the desired volumve for earpiece and microphone. Some people have reported getting echoing problems if the volume is turned too high. Good luck.

cdwaldron

I believe you are correct in your assumptions. The number on you cell caller ID will be your MJ number. To call forward go to mymagicjack by clicking the 'my' button on the softphone and set up forwarding. Your MJ does not need to be on for the forwarding to function. Good luck.

cdwaldron

Did you turn up the volume in the softphone?

cdwaldron

MJ calls to Canada are also free of long distance charges. So, no, neither your family nor you have to pay long distance charges. Your family calls the NJ number associated with your mj = no long distance. MJ forwards to Canadian number= no long distance charges.

cdwaldron

Go to the lounge section and scroll down to a topic "skype on thin client" and you will see a conversation with lcompton about the device.

cdwaldron

Can you dial out using the softphone?

cdwaldron

Repeating, have you called the landline provider to check on their ability to call that exchange?

cdwaldron

Makes no sense. If you can call from a cell phone to your MJ, then you can call your MJ from a landline. Have you called the landline provider to have them check the call for you?

cdwaldron

check with Bellsouth and AT&T to make sure that they show your MJ exchange as active. The local carriers sometimes do not know when a new exchange has been made active if it isn't one of theirs.

cdwaldron

KCAJ,

I don't even think there is a Tucson proxy. I think we use the Phoenix proxy. Have had no such echo problems in the last 8 months that I have been using mu MJ in Tucson. Sorry it didn't work for you.

cdwaldron

When you open the volume control in the softphone, what device does it list as the speaker/earpiece ,etc.? It should say usb phone device or somesuch.
You may also want to try a different usb port and or a powered usb hub. Take the time to use the search function for the forum for audio problems and ...

cdwaldron

Charlie,

When you got your sp3 update from MS, did it turn off your autoplay function for the USB drives?

cdwaldron

"Try to read this so you would not look like a fool "

Too Late!

cdwaldron

The above responders are correct. MJ support has no idea what they are talking about. Call the local phone provider . They would be the ones charging LD, not MJ. ANytime you can 7 digit dial it is not long distance.

cdwaldron

MJ6666,

His use of MJ for telemarketing hurts every MJ user. It protentially precipitates rules and limitations for us all because of his misuse. Do you know if this "company" employs any online employees or is it all just prerecorded junk. Phishing by phone for good numbers or other info to then ...

cdwaldron

Even if you could get it to work, in two days time you would be here complaing about being cut off for excessive use!

cdwaldron

MJ does not respond to modem dialing. You're wasting your time.

cdwaldron

Buy your TC based on price and components. You will probably be happier with a minimum of 512/512 but you can replace these components yourself. Any of the HP 5700 series should work. For the most part, the ebay offerings that are MJ ready are minor tweeks that are not really vital. I think you ...

cdwaldron

Try using the softphone. Using the drop down menu make sure you have the appropriate device listed for your computer. If you have it set on telephone, then it should be the 'USB INTERNET PHONE" , if the headset then it should be whatever audio /sound card you have on your computer. Also check that ...

Diane
Did you check your account and see if your expiration date is the correct date?
At one point in time, you did have to enter the code but no longer. I don't know why they even send the email anymore!

cdwaldron

This frequently a problem when the MJ exchange (the 3 numbers after the area code) is new. The other phone companies and cell carriers have to 'fix' their software so that they recognize the exchange as valid. Have your caller notify their phone company of the problem (and your exchange) and they ...

cdwaldron

Juan,
Did you purchase your unit on ebay from ebay seller "pappasyardsale"?

cdwaldron

Is your machine set to boot from a cd before it starts from the hard drive? Your machine may be seeing MJ as a cd and is trying to boot from it but of course it is not a bootable drive. If that is the case then reset the order for bootable devices in your setup. Good luck.

Please Moderator, move this to Rants and Raves. There is absolutely no technical value to this thread.

cdwaldron

Way past time for this thread and Technoboy to be sent to rants and raves. I doubt his version of the events. This more closely resembles the tirades of a teenager with drama needs.

cdwaldron

Could it be that they just joined the BBB in March of 2009 and paid the "mordida" hence the elevation of status? There have been no questions about the truthfulness of their advertising? Very interesting!
