Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 6:08 pm Post subject: Caller Does Not Hear Ring When Calling Out Magic Jack Plus |
|
|
Our Magic Jack Plus has been working great for several months. Suddenly, we started having a problem. When someone calls the phone connected to our Magic Jack Plus, they cannot hear the call ring. On our end, the caller id works and the phone rings. Once we answer it, the caller can hear us. The trouble is, while they wait for us to answer, all they hear is silence. I chatted with Magic Jack tech support for twp hours, but to no avail. Has anyone had this problem before? Any ideas on how to solve it? |

You most likely did the right thing by contacting support. If your report makes it to the correct tech your problem may get fixed in a few days.
Sounds like a setup issue with a call connecting server.
Not that it means anything but I just tested a call to my MJ+ and it rings between the actual rings just fine. |

My magicJack Plus started doing this (or not doing this) in the last week. Don't know exactly when.
Our frequent callers have learned to just wait for us to pickup... No telling how many calls we are "missing".
I am considering re-hooking up our old regular magicJack, and see whether that does the same...

I have had the same problem. Incoming callers do not hear anything, just silence until I answer or my messaging machine answers. However, my home phone connected to the MJ Plus will work fine. They will ring and show caller ID as normal. My problem started about Feb 4, 2012. Opened ticket with MJ Chat with no resolution. Problem was fixed by Feb 10, 2012. |

After checking a little more thoroughly, it is only happening on our original magicJack. Calls placed to our magicJack Plus (which is a number we haven't given out to anyone) get a ring tone just fine.
My current "work-around" is to have family members call on our Google Voice number, which rings to our magicJack Plus number.

|

I posted on this topic a couple of days ago, and in that post I said the "caller not hearing any ringing" problem was fixed. Well, it is happening again (Feb 14, 2012). It is the same problem with the MJ service, not the MJ Plus unit in my house. The problem: Callers can not hear any ringing when calling my MJ number, so they get no indication that the call is going though. They just hear silence. Inside my home the MJ rings my phones and I can answer and talk to the caller. If I don't answer my home answering machine activates and the caller can hear my voice message and leave a message if they wish. I chated with MJ support again with no real help or any resolution. I will just haev to wait and see if the problem fixes itself. |

|
|
I have the same non ring problem on my older MJ but it seems that only Verizon cellphone callers don't hear a ring. I can hear the ring from my Sprint-based cell phone and callers from landlines hear a ring but all Verizon cellphone callers don't hear a ring. Anybody else have this problem? |

|

The comment by BBorden51 was good. I posted comments earlier about callers not hearing ringing when calling my MJ. It seems that Verizon or StraightTalk cell phone callers do not hear ringing when calling. Callers from CenturyLink land-line services hear the ringing. My home phones connected to the MJ+ device ring and answer just fine no matter who is calling. This is in the southeast Minnesota area. |

A friend, who has a Straight Talk phone, does not hear the ring. ST uses the Verizon network. I have a Platinumtel phone which uses the Sprint network and I hear the ring when I call my MJ. |
