Re: MJ for Long Distance Calls Only
said by mazilo  bquote :This is way too cumbersome! If you had a Dollartree chain store in your neighborhood, I go there and pick up a Chinese made corded phone for $1 and plug it into your MJ adapter to use. I bought a cheap phone at Walgreen's that didn't work well at all with MJ. Outgoing was fine, but on inbound calls the phone would only ring for 1 second and then cut off the caller.
I'd suggest paying a little more, if necessary, to make sure the phone works properly. There used to be a place on the MagicJack forum where people posted phone models that worked, but MJ wiped out their forums last week. |

If you still have this phone, can you please try to plug it into any ATA device to see if such a behavior still exists. If it doesn't, then perhaps MJ fails to ring the phone that requires certain amount of currents. You have to remember that MJ is a USB device with a limited current. |
