Magic Jack Setup Pictures in VOIP Tech Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18763226 en Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:51:49 EDT Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:51:49 EDT Re: Magic Jack Setup Pictures http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18885246 TexasPlus : Same phone I bought from Overstock.com.
It is a LOT smaller than the pictures lead you to believe, almost too small to use comfortably.
The audio is not very loud so if you have a bit of noise around you it will be hard to hear. The ringer is not very loud. Some of the keystrokes are not intuitive, like hitting the redial (RD) key located under the zero key to dial out. You have to really pay attention if dialing a number with a zero in it, as one tends to hit the redial key, before the number is complete. :)

The headset has a earpiece mount that gets uncomfortable quickly.

Having said that, it is still a good size to toss onto a laptop bag for traveling use, just don't plan on using it much for day to day calls.

This is a phone I bought on eBay (not Overstock) to use with my Magicjack. It has mixed reviews but it looks good to throw in a notebook case for traveling. I haven't got it yet but hopefully this week...If you see it on ebay with best offer mine was $3 and was accepted of course another $6 and change for shipping.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18884631 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 02:05:08 EDT Re: Magic Jack Setup Pictures http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18883985 anon : You can use a USB hub if you do not have another USB drive.

They do not have "international" calling capability.

However, there's a post from someone who bought one, set it up, and then mailed it overseas to relatives. They can now use it to call back to the US.
You can take your magicJack anywhere in the world, and call back to the US and Canada "free". But you won't be able to call anyone in the country you're visiting.

If you have a MJ, and you send a friend an MJ in Italy (as an example), you can call each other for free. That's because even though your friend is physically in Italy, his phone number is in the US - so to MJ you're making a US to US phone call.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18864528 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 12:39:56 EDT Re: Magic Jack Setup Pictures http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18864257 Jim K :

Does the receiving party, from a magicJack international call, also have to have a magicJack to receive the calls? To make free calls, to a magicJack international line, does the caller need to be making the calls through a magicJack?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18864257 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 12:01:00 EDT Re: Magic Jack Setup Pictures http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18862363 Medic63 :

It should not be a problem as long as you have another USB port available

Has anyone figure out how their SIP stuff is set up? Registration address and credentials for the account?

If so, softphones or generic SIP adapters are an option too, meaning your PC does not need to be on all the time.

The broadband and computer have to be on, but you can close off one of the internal lines in your house and then call from any phone jack that you wish.

Calls are free in the U.S. and Canada. They are planning to have international rates. However, if the international line has a magicjack, then you can call them and they can call you for free.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18769597 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:34:32 EDT Re: Magic Jack Setup Pictures http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18769527 anon : Can you use the magicjack with a cordless phone or do you always have to talk on the computer throught the magicjack]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18769527 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:18:40 EDT Re: Magic Jack Setup Pictures http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18769468 johnlvs2run : Thanks much for the photos.
