1. How about adding a feature to dial out using Google Voice so that your Google Voice caller will be displayed to party receiving the call. Maybe a sequence like ## and the number would engage the script.

2. How about adding an automated feature to dial out using the Ring2Skype service. Create a script to dial a Ring2Skyp call in number and place a timing delay to send the extension number for the intended Skype user after 10 seconds or so.

I bought MagicfeaturesPlugin, and am thrilled that future upgrades will include: Manual Call, Virtual Tape Recorder, and Reminder Call With Memo!

I called in my order at (800)903-4152 where (unlike the online order page) they accepted my credit card even though I have a free email account. Everything worked out OK after I realized that they had emailed me version 1.03, and that I needed to go to the download page to update to version 1.05. This update is especially important if you have Windows 7.

Thanks for the great product!

Thanks for the constructive feedback. The link that is e-mailed out at time of purchase has been corrected and updated.

Those additional features will be available in the next few weeks.

Redpepper- I have not yet tried magic features, but the feedback sounds great. I fully expect I will purchase once I have my MJ running again here soon.

A question- I will be running MJ on my media center HTPC. Is there any chance or plan to add a callerID plugin to media center so my MJ will display callerid info on-screen in media center when someone calls?

I had to do a Google to make sure I understood what you are in the process of setting up. That's awesome !!!

At the moment, the magicJack has a small pop-up window that displays the caller number on the computer screen when an incoming call arrives.

There is nothing preventing the Magicfeatures Plugin from being enhanced to "backfill" in the caller's name in that same small window that already pops open on the screen.

I'm glad you thought of it and will make sure that capability is added to the plugin in the next release.

Your combined computer/tv setup is definitely the way of the future...

If it is based on a Windows operating system the Magicfeatures Plugin should work. Let me know when you have more information on it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a Windows 7 machine with a MJ registered with your product; also, I am running a different MJ on a dedicated thin client. I tried to switch the registered MJ to the thin client and got an UNregistered message for that unit. Am I correct in assuming that a registered unit only works on the original computer?

For clarification, you can install the plugin to use with your magicJack usb dongle on as many computers as you wish. The license is not tied to a specific computer but it is tied to the magicJack usb dongle used at the time of registration.

I don't understand what you are referring to as an "unregistered" message.

Noted and understood. The Magicfeatures Plugin is 100% software so based on the further details you provided it will not provide a pop-up screen on your media center.

The Magicfeatures Plugin WILL however display the caller id name and number on your phone's display for both incoming calls and call waiting calls.

If you use a talking phone system like the Panasonic Dect 6.0 cordless phone system (available from your local Walmart), the name and number of the person calling you is also verbally announced.
