I have a Uniden EXA12248 2.4GHz phone, and I HAD the same problem, that is up until 5 mins ago. 
It was an easy mod to splice in the resistor into the phone line.
But it took me 2 attemps to do it, as I accidentally bought the wrong size resistor, 100 ohms, the 1st time. 
However, I then bought a 100k ohms resister and BINGO, it works. My wife is much happier now. 
Now I only have 4 more fixes to find:
(1) Be able to call out while my kids play on the Webkinz website.
(2) Stop the Magic Jack Window from Popping Up each time a call comes in.
(3) Stop the Beeping Sound that the other party hears.
(4) Keep Magic Jack running even when XP windows logs me off from inactivity.
Number "3" is my wife's next biggest peeve (She has threatened to go back to Vonage). Yikes

I found another way to show caller id number on my cordless phone, I have a fax machine connected to my magic jack and my cordless phone with a splitter and now the callers id number is showing on my cordless phone.
I don't know what is the fax machine does but the thing is that is sending my caller id info to my cordless phone but it's working.
If you don't have a fax go get a regular corded phone and connect it to the magic jack I'm very sure it will boost the jack to push the caller id info to your cordless phone.
Works great!  |

The CID in this thread refers to a FULL or Deluxe like Bellsouth calls it, wich ioncludes NAME and NUMBER, or just the number?
MY CID works fine, even my Directv box displays the calls on my TV but JUST THE NUMBER!!
BTW, That Directv box freaked me out, it dials out like 10 times a day and you can see it on the softphone screen. |

Magicjack does not receive names, it only receives the number

Instead of trying to create a resistor we took an extra DSL filter and plugged it into the MagicJack unit and then plugged the phone line into the telephone port of the DSL filter. The CID immediately began working on our cordless phone.
We contacted MagicJack to see if they could help with the problem before coming to this forum and they were unable to help us with the problem. They suggested contacting the vendor of our cordless phone. This was also not helpful.
Thank goodness for forums!! |
I have just today removed my DSL service and got cable internet hooked up. Now using the magicjack as my main line. I also had the CID problem. Well I tried this trick of using one of my DSL filters and bingo CID. Also a add on note with the filter inline I don't seem to get as much weird noise on the phone. |

True it only receives the number, but if that number matches one in your contact list on the MJ it will display that name. |

The adapter box is manufactured by “Philips, Inc.”
Mfg. part number: SDj6013W/17
The only place I have seen this in a store is at Wal-Mart. (any similar duplex jack should work just fine).
|
Picked up the adapter box at the local Wal-Mart and got the resistors from Radio Shack. Installed and working in under five minutes!
You guys ROCK!!! Thanks!

P.S. Now, if I could only get my MJ to stop disconnecting occasionally after dialing a phone number! |

|
|
| After browsing around this forum, I came across the fix using the resistor. I then found a suggestion that was much more low tech--and it works! I plugged a 3-way coupler (Y adapter-1 in 2 outs) into the magic jack via a 5 1/4 in telephone line cord, then plugged another 5 1/4 in telephone line cord between my dial-up computer connection at the back of my computer and the magic jack. I then plugged in my phone into the other outlet of the 3-way and like magic...Caller ID on the phone!!!! I guess the computer gives it enough boost. Thanks to richardp53 and slicktop281 over at fixya for that solution. I wanted to post it here because I didn't see that option after all the time I spent on here today. I was prepared to try the resistor fix, though. So thanks! |

Now you can cross off #2. This works like a charm. |

Just wanted to give you my input. I had a phillips headset, no caller ID problems whatsoever, switched to a Panasonic KX-TG8231CB and it didn't work.
I read lots and lots about resisters but didn't know where to start, in the end I bought a duplex from wal-mart for $6.00 and an old corded telephone from the thrift store for $3.99.
Well wouldn't you know it, CID works, not only for numbers but names as well, yep names. Not names I have stored in the memory, these are names coming through that have never been in the phone.
That's my input for you.
Thanks, |

Do you think that putting the resistor on just one side would be any different? |

This solution worked for me. Just wanted to thank everyone, OP, CheleD and posters where CheleD got it from. |

See the picture below. The 100k hack did not work for me. Any ideas?
Phone: Uniden EXI4246
Computer: Mac Mini with MJ plugged directly into a USB port, no hub.
