MagicJack (Error 401) 06/13/09

upgrade.exe.zip 7,622,152 bytes
Not sure and I ran into the problem just a bit ago, but apparently my magicjack wouldn't connect this morning kept saying something like

Please restart you MagicJack and try again(Error 401)

Anyway I reported what I had to chat, after trying another machine and rebooting both of them, they advised that I didn't get the upgrade, or it didn't take.

anyway I got the upgrade file, and the agent had to reset my number and then I could make a call.

I attached the upgrade file I got if anyone needs it.

edit: added exact error I was getting

Same here. Got the 401 error message for no apparent reason that I can think of and upgrade.exe solved the problem for me.

Thanks for the help. I had tech support on line for about an hour and they were pretty useless. I downloaded and applied the upgrade but still receiving 401 error messages. Any ideas?
Thanks.

They had to reset my number while I applied the upgrade. Might ask them if they can reset your number.

Mine seemed pretty knowledgeable.

did you power cycle your modem / remember just turning it off won't do it;
you have to use a pen or paper clip to push in on the reset button.
did you disconnect the phone jack for 30 seconds
did you use menu advanced users - restart on the softphone
i usually reboot.
ALSO:If you added the vista update you will need to do all the above
little things the mj tech's are not very bright about; what do you expect the cheapskate that invented this to give u as tech support

Why go through all that work for the magicjack? If you are browsing the internet just fine and magicjack isn't working I would question magicjack first, before resetting your dsl modem and reconnecting. That would be just unnecessary.

I know I didn't do it for mine.
