arc, have you browzed the MJ web site, like I suggested? And even contacted their tech support? I had a problem re losing audio on my computer speakers, and the answer was in the FAQ's. Remember, this IS a computer thingie, and like a lot of computer thingie's, sometimes a little fine-tuning is in order.  John C.

Yes I have. There is no support. The best suggestion is to return it for another. I don't see how they can provide a quality unlimited service for $20/yr.

I have a Magic Jack question. I use one here in the office as a failover in case my PRI goes down, works fine. BUT, at home, where I am way too cheap to pay Qwest for a telephone line (we use our cell phones!), we have Direct TV, in order to buy PPV's you need a telephone line, will the Magic Jack work for the Direct TV authorizations??

More than likely it will not. The Magic Jack is a VoIP device which doesn't carry analog data very reliably.

Thanks Ed, I figured that but one never knows!! BTW, We've been able to get modems functioning over soft switch provided PRI trunks using speeds lower than 33.2 and using v.90 or 92 modems.
and two Eds are better than one!!!

"and two Eds are better than one!!!" Boo, that is a NASTY pun! I am able to navigate AA/VM's on my MJ just fine. but I use a good ol' analog S/L phone that sends a tone as long as I hold the button down! If I dial with short tones, usually 'doesn't happen'. John C.

arc,the $$$ is not worth the discussing, altho some of the more 'accountable' here can probably explain it to your satisfaction. Maybe some BS about making it up in volume. You know, if you lose enough, the government will bail you out! Send it back and get another one. Hey, for $20/year, I'm happy! John C.

The wife is on it constantly and all her complaints went away once I started the "maintenance routine"

I do this constantly. It makes no difference. Magic Jack works like krap out of the box. I bought the Magic Jack to see if I could recommend it to business clients, and the the answer is definitely NOT!

I wouldn't be too hard in Magic Jack. Like always, anytime you use the internet for VoIP it's a crap shoot. If it works for you be surprised, if it doesn't- don't be.
