Never mind, got it to work, must have been one of those days.
For going dongleless I use a bluetooth headset. Works fine, can walk away from the computer while talking.

|
|
| Hi I tried the procedure for connecting using a flash drive containing the software from the mj and when I try to connect it says to double-click the mj softphone to connect to the internet...any idea what I might have done wrong. I copies the software to the proper folders on the flash drive. created the shortcut on the flash drive and the only thing I changed was changing the path from my hard drive to my flash drive. |

Sorry LisaD but they are 2 different interfaces... the MajicJack like the phone company is FXS (which includes DC power) while the modem plug is an FXO (which can only use power). However if you want to use your computer as a fax you should be able to connect the modem to the MajicJack and if its a voice-modem it should be able to place and receive calls as well. |

I ran update, so I had to recreate the dongleless environment.
but now, I can't seem to torn HIDDEN FILES VIEW TO OFF. Do you think MJ used the update to really HIDE the mj folder from the device?
HELP.
THANKS. |

If you copy the files from the good magicjack you will be getting the serial number of the good magicjack and therefore be using the good serial on 2 machines. You will need to fix the broken dongle at least enough to get the files from it to the laptop to use it on the laptop without the dongle, however when it is time for updates you will need to be able to reuse the broken dongle to update the files on the laptop once again so do not lose it or let it break again/more. |

well this may be the very first time that I reply to one of these posts, but what prompted me to do this is the sheer stupidity ....you mean to tell me that you want to use the magicjack software out of the dongle...and in your PC....only to again connect your modem to a normal telephone...something which I think is difficult to work...and totally redundant since you could have just ...nothacked your magicjack and use it with that telephone in the first place......you fool |

I think it is a GREAT idea.
How many people out there have kids? Why do parents make copies of DVDs, if they have already purchased the original; why not just use the original DVD? Because the originals eventually get scratched and can't be played or skip excessively. So you have to buy a replacement. So copying the DVD helps preserve that orignal and keeps cash in your pocket.
So if the MJ Dongle gets damaged (i.e. USB port is bent), will MJ replace it? Only if they want to. My guess is that it is rare. 
So if the dongle gets damaged, from either kids plugging something else in to the back of the computer for games, or because your trying to get the MJ service to work, or because your moving the computer tower around, or etc, YOU have to go buy another one, and when you do, you have to buy the 1st year of service again. So bye bye $40 (plus tax). 
By copying the software onto your PC and using a modem phone jack, you can help keep the MJ Dongle in its original shape, thus keeping the hole in your pocket from getting bigger.

| I unbundled my MJ from the dongle via the instructions in this thread today. Now it seems my 911 button at the bottom of the app shows an X image and next to it, it says "Upgrading: please wait before selecting your location". If I run MJ from the dongle it does not do this. Has anyone else experienced this and how do you fix it? |

That's exactly the same thing I get - but I really don't care because MJ works to make calls when I'm on the road w/o the dongle in a hotel room. If I need 911 I'll just pick up the hotel's phone. BTW, I've gotten the same message in place of 911 since I first tried the dongle-less method many months ago and nothing has changed. I was hoping that with the June software upgrade it might fix this, but it hasn't. Oh well. |

Maybe there is a good reason that you have not posted more. Lisa D is certainly no fool for asking that question. A lot of people want to run their MJ 'dongle-less' so that they can install it on all 5 or 10 of their Notebooks and PDAs and use it on any of them. Doing so requires you to use a PC style headset which plugs into the SpkOut and MicIn plugs. Which is great. But if you wanted to plug in a normal RJ-11 corded phone like you can do with the MJ dongle you would be out of luck... except for that little RJ-11 modem jack that is on the side of so many notebooks. So its a FAIR QUESTION and one that does not deserve some ignorant scorn from you.
One way to solve the problem of wanting a more regular style phone to use Dongle-less is to get one of those inexpensive VOIP handsets which plug into the USB port. You can select them as your keystation device under one of the menus and people report that they work with MJ dongle-less. |
