The volume control for the phone and headset is controlled in the softphone and separate from your computer volume. It should not interfere at all.

Same here. Mine came on Saturday and after a flawless setup, it's working perfectly. It's really a nice little device, and the call quality was superb. I plan on taking with me on vacation twice in the next 45 days, so I'll be able to give it a good workout on a different ISP (I'm on Fios).

So far, I love the little device.

I use about 1000 minutes a month on the unlimited skype deal, and haven't had any issues yet; though it may have a soft cap hidden in the TOS somewhere.

That's the problem, this introductory price may last only a year or two, and if they don't make money on advertising you can bet it's going to go up.

Same with the skype deal. Meg Whittman has been putting a lot of pressure on the Skype team to come up with ways of increasing their revenue (even though they have already increased it greatly in the last year or so) and it's only a matter of time before this 29.95 deal (or $15 when I got it) price disappears. If you check the financial reports on Skype you can see that they will be moving to a pay per call model as soon as NAmerican adoption rates increase; and they get their credit card storage act together.

I have no idea what magicjack has in their TOS as I don't have the device...but I'm sure you can look it up.

You might be able to get the device for under $50, but I said UPTO. While we are at it, why don't you factor in the cost of getting in a DID from skype? It's not $30 if you include the cost of that. With magicjack this comes included. Also you can forward a Grandcentral number to magicjack for free; you can't do that with skype unless you purchase their DID.

Your question was how was this offer any different than skype; but you were rude in your answer..so if you want a civil disscussion lets procede, but if you want to be brash and arrogant, then I believe this discussion is over.

there is no way that I would have 40-50 for a usb device. they can be had for much cheaper

maybe when my skype runs out, you can make international calls and magicjack runs on windows mobile, I will take a look at it

kieranmullen]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18819837 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 13:11:38 EDT Re: [General] Magicjack http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18818141 redshift : Kieran,

For the price ($30) you get the unlimited calling + you also get the USB Adaptor. A similar device for Skype could run upwards of $50 simply for the USB adaptor itself. Also Skype can turn your computer into a supernode, which essentially uses your bandwidth for routing other people's calls.

Finally take a look at Skype's world wide offerings, they have a pricing model of a monthly fee plus a call connection charge for each call that is placed, and they have placed a soft cap in terms of minutes used on these plans (though I'm not sure if there is a limit on the North America plan). Their plan was to do the same for NAmerica, but two things stopped them. Skype is adopted much more in Europe and Asia because of high calling rates there, and a relatively good broadband penetration. They also had difficulty storing users Credit card details here in North America making it difficult for them to do a recurring charge. They do however plan to move from an unlimited model to a pay per call + monthly fee model eventually when they can iron out the problems.

Other than that about the only advantage of skype is that you can now use it with WIFI phones, they however have poor battery life, and aren't ready for prime time either. If you don't mind spending $100 + you can buy a Skype device that plugs directly into the ethernet portion of your router. I would think that this would be useful, but if Skype switches to their pay per call model then any long term savings versus traditional VOIP providers (say packet 8, Vonage etc) would be negated.

I did purchase a USB adapter for skype allowing me to use my home phone on it. I also find it quite useful running skype on my Dell Axim Handheld Running Windows Mobile using a bluetooth headset.

When I sied up for my skype unlimtied 1 year program they offered it to me at a discount of $15.00 per year when it is normally $30 and the gave me a $3 credit for international calls.

Also how many minutes are you limited to making per month with magicjack?

I've got it working well now, but for some reason, when I first installed it, it didn't like the USB port that I plugged it into. I could make one outgoing call, and despite everything looking fine, couldn't make another one unless I removed and re-inserted the MagicJack device (on removing the device I would get an error that the MagicJack software was not responding). After plugging it into a different USB port (on the same card), it is now working well.

In addition to this, yesterday for awhile people were getting the "all circuits are busy" message while trying to call my incoming number. After a while, service returned to normal.

MagicJack is a fun gadget to play with, and I'm sure we will see some third-party software for it from the developer community.

Ordered VOIP.COM to replace sunrocket. A day later ordered MAGICJACK. Received MAGICJACK already, waiting for VOIP.COM adapter. MAGICJACK did not work right away, I had to click on it after it appeared in my computer as a drive. It did install, it is working great. I plugged it to my internal home lines and all the phones ring and are able to make phone calls from any of the phones. I have talked without drops, snaps, crackles or echos. I even managed to fax out with it. Using 1 and 3 page faxes. Using 2 different faxes. Got a line or two not looking right but this could happen with any VOIP line otherwise the faxes were perfect. $39.99 plus tax and the shipping was discounted with the SUNROCKET coupon. I am going to recommended to all my friends.

Cons: You have to keep your pc on all of the time to make phone calls, the softphone is always on, there are not to many area codes to choose from, there are not many features and no number porting.

Pros: It works, no more phone bills, price is practically free, very portable, and faxing worked for me.

If during the night time i switch off the system and in the morning if i turn on the system..then can i start using the phone to make calls again????

You can turn your computer on and off all you want but when your computer is off you will not have the phone service.

The voice quality is ok. It does not come close to my Call Vantage or Packet 8 lines but is more than usable. I have used it with a cordless phone and with the soft phone. The soft phone works well.

It took a few extra steps/reboots to get the first one up and running on Win2K, but so far all seems well. :D

Not sure just what of the several extra reboots and switching it from one USB port to another fixed the install on this unsupported operating system, but persistence paid off.

Very quick shipping! Plugged it into a usb port and used the usb extension cable that comes with it. Don't want any bending in case my pc gets moved around.

Software loaded as soon as I plugged it in. A window to register 911 info soon appeared. Another screen to select available numbers after that. A software update was also automatically downloaded. Nearest number to Florida was Nashville, TN exchange. They are suppose to be adding more numbers by September.

Voice quality on the few test calls I have made are excellent. Just have to remember to dial area code for local numbers. Considering dropping Earthlink TrueVoice as soon as I get a local number. Probably will get a bare bones plan with another service just for backup since this MagicJack service is so new.

Packaging was very professional looking and bubble pack wasn't easy to open I must add.

The links from BBR must be ringing up lots of sales for them.

I see nothing on their site prior to paying for the order that tells anything about the phone number one gets with the device... so do you just wait until it arives to see if the number is useful to you? that's not good...
I must of been one of the last few orders to get free shipping this morning, had to pay tax since MagicJack is out of Florida though. They won't give you a number ahead of time as it seems they are just about to add many local numbers across the US according to their forums. It is funny I had never heard of them until this whole Sunrocket thing today as you mentioned.

low cost and fast speed is what customers want in broadband]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18644092 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:55:43 EDT Re: [General] Magicjack http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18620960 AJICQ499087 : Would having a router on one channel with an access point on another channel allow two magicJacks to work with each magicJack on a different computer with one connected to the router and the other connected to the access point?

I'm going to find out for myself the answer to the above question. I just ordered my 2nd magicJack. When it does come I'll try my idea out.
At home I already have the above setup. At the office I only have a router. There is no point in buying an access point for the office until I find out if my idea will work.
_______________________________
The bottom line is this does work as both magicJacks can make and receive phone calls without conflict!

The 2nd magicJack I ordered came in the mail this morning. I had no trouble installing it on a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop with XP media center O/S. I didn't even have to adjust the audio settings this time! I registered
this magicJack with a different e-mail address with same area code (615) and prefix 530 since Nashville, Tennessee is closest available area code/prefix to Louisville, KY available to me at this time.

MagicJack #1 is connected to a computer that is connected to a Linksys WRT54GL Wireless G Broadband router using channel 6. MagicJack #2 is on the laptop that is connected to a Linksys WAP54G Wireless G access point using channel 11. I'm using Insight cable modem service.

There you have one way to have two magicJacks working!

I ran a magicJack phone test while watching streaming video on the computer.

I was able to receive and make calls using my cordless Uniden EX17960 phone and I still had crystal clear audio! I'm using Insight cable broadband.
It's impressive the phone audio was crystal clear and better than my cell phone or my lousy AT&T land line.

Uniden America Corp cordless phone model EX17960 will work. Just take any phone cord and stick one end on magicJack and the other end plug into the spot on Uniden that has a slot for the phone line. Of course the magicJack is in a USB port of a computer and the computer must be running.
Now your old regular land line with it own regular phone number will still work too. So what you have now is an extra phone with your magicJack phone number. Hopefully sometime you can get your area code and then sometime down the road port your land line number to the magicJack and then cancel out your old regular land line.

Corded GE phone Model 2-9223BKB also does work with magicJack.

I ordered one on June 21, 2007 and received it on June 25,2007. Below is my first report.

magicJack voice quality is great! It’s better than my AT&T land line and better than my cell phone!

This is my first report on my use of magicJack. I only had time to set it up and test sending and getting phone calls for an hour. I installed magicJack on my main computer at home which is an XP 2005 media center O/S on a Dell PC with all the window updates installed and my broadband connection is through Insight in Louisville, KY. I have a router and access point at home too.

I just installed magicJack with the phone line connected directly to the magicJack. I used my speakers and mic as the way to communicate with magicJack. I had no problems installing magicJack except I did have to go to »www.magicjack.com/site/CustomerS···ues.html to get my audio to work. The instructions to fix the audio issues were simple and it did work. I registered magicJack as it gave me the option to pick Colorado 303 area code with prefix 719 for Denver, Michigan 734 area code with prefix 708 for Detroit, Minnesota 952 area code with prefix 583 for Minneapolis, Nevada area code 702 with prefix 421 for Las Vegas, Tennessee area codes 901 and 615 with the 901 area code having prefix 217 for Memphis and the 615 area code having the prefix 530 for Nashville, and Washington 206 area code with prefix 497 for Seattle.
I picked Nashville area code 615 with prefix 530 and magicJack assigned me the last 4 digits of my new phone number.

I made and received phone calls, followed the simple magicJack software instructions to setup the voice mail and the phone system does work with crystal clear audio which is better than my cell phone or crappy AT&T land line.

When I have my phone line hooked into magicJack my regular crappy AT&T land line will get the busy signal when trying to dial that number.
That is really no big deal as I plan to use this magicJack at home to listen to my Monday nights long distance real estate teleseminars and make long distance phone calls to friends, etc.

I do plan to hook up magicJack to a regular phone and set the user friendly magicJack software menu feature to work with a regular phone, but thought it was neat that it will work with a phone line hooked directly to magicJack using the computer mic and speakers.

When magicJack offers me to port my home and office phone numbers that will be great as then it will be time to buy magicJacks to work on my office phone lines and to buy magicJacks as real estate closing gifts and as Christmas, and birthday gifts. :)

I’m in love with YMax Communications magicJack. :)

I want sign up for the magicJack service, but I have a couple of questions. When will magicJack offer 502 area code phone numbers?

It would be nice to port my current phone number too, but if that is not possible I can live with a different number in the 502 area code.

Is it true that magicJack is offering only Florida area code phone numbers right now?

For example, right now I fail to see the answer to a few main questions and they are can you get an area code for the area you live in and is it possible to keep your own phone number?

The lack of details is not a good sign. Hopefully some more information will become available soon. With the lack of details about magicJack, only a fool would try to purchase the product at this time.

No chance he would remember me today. He was very customer focused at that time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18258480 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 16:00:13 EDT Re: [General] Magicjack http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18258440 AJICQ499087 : LOL RockyBB I'm more interested in getting information rather than jumping on possible vaporware!

I did try to send an e-mail for information as the website does have a Contact Us link. Here is the reply
"This recipient e-mail address was not found in the recipient e-mail system. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please check the recipient e-mail address and try resending this message, or provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator."

Not a good sign! The information I gathered indicates a possible vaporware product. I'm not jumping on the empty wagon. ;)

Magicjack doesn't seem to have a band, much less a wagon. Do you simply want to be customer #1? If so, that's fine, but you might do well to use this delay to get one of those temporary credit card numbers so a few months from now we all won't have to hear about how Magicjack continues to bill you after you've tried to cancel.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18258402 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 15:42:20 EDT Re: [General] Magicjack http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18258353 AJICQ499087 : Well, today is April 30th and »www.magicjack.com is saying online sales in April'07. So, I called the 888 customer service number I found doing a Google search and received an answering machine that said Peter Russo and said to leave a message. So, I just hung up without leaving a message since magicJack is obviously not ready for business.

Anyone have any information about what is going on please post the information here. Thanks!

Perhaps the site will be updated or maybe magicJack was forced to shut down because of possible patent issues?

I'm shocked if they went this far to back down now. Maybe the site will be up again soon and will open for business.

I hate to think MagicJack might of been forced to close due to possible legal problems.

For example, can I get my phone number switched over to the new service or am I stuck with some new number or some number outside of my area code?

Will the magicJack service really have a clearer voice quality than say Skype?

I understand magicJack partner is YMax Communications Corp. which has a network covering most of the USA and is a certified competitive local exchange carrier with interconnect agreements with other carriers.

I hope magicJack is the real deal and will open for business soon. I have high hopes for great dirt cheap prices with solid service.

I think the announcement was for April 07 meaning 2007, not April 7th.

It says that it will do call forwarding and find me. I bet they charge for these services. As in, free to your computer but charge to the find me/forwarding numbers.

We'll see....

How great would it be if you could actually have a device plug in any computer with a broadband connection.
Honestly, I will no longer invest my $$ on any USB ATA since I have managed to get some ATA units, i.e. Linksys PAP2, very inexpensive. OTOH, the audio quality on any USB ATA really depends on the state of your computer and that is not acceptable to me, YMMV.

If you really want to be able to use a VoIP on WiFi hotspots, your best solution is to get a WiFi phone. The other option is to buy a very inexpensive WiFi router supported by some open-source firmware to run DD-WRT, configure with WDS, and attach a SIP ATA with some (cordless) phone. The whole system can be mounted in your car and all you need is to park your car near by a WiFi hotspot to access the Internet and carry the cordless phone within the range.

Herb Greenberg, a financial guy did a story on this and said he hooked it up instantly.
Can you please provide the link for us to follow up and read?

If the device really can sell for about $50 with a year of service and phone number with it, now you are talking a nice gift for someone.
AFAIC, this kind of offer is not a good idea to have because the device will be locked and tied to their service unless it is sold for less than $10 for us to hack/unlock, YMMV. ;)

How great would it be if you could actually have a device plug in any computer with a broadband connection. Would 801.1G connection give enough throughput? You could use your phone with your notebook at any hotspot easily.

Herb Greenberg, a financial guy did a story on this and said he hooked it up instantly. I wonder what drivers it needs, and if any need installing? (lets assume WINXP) If the device really can sell for about $50 with a year of service and phone number with it, now you are talking a nice gift for someone. The venture is private. I know Skype is around, but this seems much simpler, and simplicity is why I went with Sunrocket. SR, one $200 bill per year, imagine getting the same service for $30 a year.
