I'm trying the free trial version and the call block features work nicely when I put my cell phone number in to test it. The double ring does not seem to be working. Do you have to register for that feature to work?

I tried a trial of the program and the caller ID with call waiting does not work.

I double checked and the double ringing feature is working for me. Open the "Features Dashboard" window and make 100% sure the Double Ringing feature checkbox is ticked and then press OK to save the setting and close the window.

If that feature is on, you should hear your phone physically ring 7-8 times before going to voice mail instead of 4 rings.

For technical support stuff, there is an active support forum at http://www.pcphonesoft.com .

The call waiting caller id has been tested against various Vtech, Bell and AT&T regular and cordless phones that are Call Waiting Caller ID capable. So far it has worked with all of them.

The first thing to check is to make 100% sure the box your phone came in definitely says Call Waiting Caller ID on it. Many phones that support regular incoming Caller ID do NOT support Call Waiting Caller ID. It is a different feature capability altogether.

There is absolutely no doubt that there are going to be some phone makes and models that support Call Waiting Caller ID where the feature is not working. The exact makes and models of those phones need to be identified so some fine tuning can be done as required.

Moderators,

I believe this thread belongs in Discussions Topic magicJack related items For Sale / Wanted!

The call blocking with the widcards is nice and works. I did notice that I have to uncheck call waiting caller id for the name and number to show up. I'm under the assumption my cheapo phones don't have this feature and this is the reason why it was not showing up. I did get the double ring to work with a restart and it has worked when I have tried it out since then. The 7 digit calling works along with speed dials. The 69 for call return and 98 for voicemail also work.

I'am throughly impressed with the Xlite plugin and the ability to use it with MJ. I now have the Xlite and MJ plugiin running and they work great. A nice tip for people is to use sipgate and you can set your own caller id. I have mine setup as my googlevoice number which rings my MJ. Thanks redpepper these are some great products that deliver.

They have been all over my caller ID with call waiting problem.

I have it isolated to the fact that when I call out and am talking to someone and then get a call, the caller ID with call waiting does not work.

However, when I am on a call (someone else has called me) and I get another call, caller ID with call waiting works fine.

It works fine with my PAP2T, so, I am guessing it is some minor setting they need to change. Otherwise, their software works great and they do a nice job of responding on their forum.

CALLER ID NAME - REAL TIME ONLINE WHITE PAGES REVERSE LOOKUP

This capability was developed in direct response to a great suggestion from a member in this forum. For private numbers, cellphone numbers and international numbers where a White Page lookup will not work, the caller's location (state or country) is looked up and displayed.

The Real Time Online White Pages Lookup capability is available for following Caller ID (Name+Number) features in Release 1.02 of the "MagicfeaturesPlugin" posted today for download:

1. Caller ID
2. Call Waiting Caller ID
3. Blocked Call Chime With Caller ID
