Looks like copyright infringement to me............

Evens sounds like the same person that does the Magic Jack commercials.

Notice how many time they say the word "magic"

Not necessarily you can use the word magic you just can't call it magic jack that's about it.

Sounds like a really cool product, if it lives up to what it promises I will certainly be getting one when my year is up. Getting tired of having to run the computer 24/7 and the softphone. I also like the ability to plug it into a USB port if needed. They don't have very many area codes, that's not a problem for me, I'm in Canada so I wasn't expecting a local number. Love the ability to use one number on two units and most of the customer service experiences I've read about on the forum so far are very positive, prompt and impressive.

Looks like stroths is having some problems with this thing, though. That doesn't look good, if stroths can't get it working I don't have a hope in hell. Lol. From what I've read on the forum, it doesn't look like they have the best shipping (speed), and their 30 day trial starts at the shipping date.

Despite that, I still have some high hopes for this product. I hope it takes off really well because I really want to get away from MJ. I love my MJ, it can just be a pain in the butt sometimes.

I ordered mine friday night. I think the shipping delay is partly due to them having to actually program the device. From what I read, when you get the device its ready to go... you plug it in, and then you get a confirmation call, and boom... your ready.

This thing does exactly what MJ should do...work without a stupid PC. I am also thinking since it uses a standard asterisk front end, it may be possible to do your own ATA.

SWEET!! Good to hear you got it working on an ATA. Hopefully I will have mine soon so I can start playing with my ATA. I bet the call waiting is an issue on how they detect the hook pulse.

It looks like they have a little tweaking on their end to their configs to fix a few things... like the DTMF and hook pulse recognition

Again, this doesn't constitute copyright infringement. Please read up on US copyright and patent law.

While I do agree, thats a janky way to do 3 way calling, it would be simple for them to fix. I bet you would have a better chance of netTALK fixing it than you would magicJack.

I just got my tk6000 but how do I get the sip info?

has anyone did a network capture to see what sip proxies your calls are hitting. I wonder who is the company behind this? I know MJ uses level 3 and XO to complete most of their calls. I would be interested to know who does their long haul routing

For those of you who have purchased this device, can you let us know how the caller ID works? I want to backfeed the phone line into my home so that all phones in the house can make and receive calls. MJ kind of does this, but because MJ doesn't put off enough voltage, the other phones in my house don't actually ring when a call comes in, nor does caller ID work on them. But they can each be used to place calls.

Hopefully this new device will work better.

Thanks!
