I tried to call a local number, works, then when asked for extention, it did nto work. seems cannot recognize it.

Then I tried to call in my GV number, then asked my pin, put pin in, it could not recognize it either.

ANybody know the fix of it?

Plus everytime you have to dial 1 in front of any number, is that annoying?

I suppose my previous comment can be read in different ways. The point I was trying to make is that the inconvenience of dialing 1 is spreading.

I never considered setting up a dial plan for landlines, but I'm under the impression this can be accomplished with devices like the SPA3102. I have one, but I don't have a landline to test this on.

Every morning, it works great. made calls and received incoming calls.

Then all of sudden, in the afternoon, incoming calls cannot be dialed through, and but can make outgoing calls.

Is that weird?

Just got my tk6000, and the first time I tried to use, I had this issue with the 1 not being recognized...
So I unplugged it and waited and plugged it back in, and waited for the ring to signal it was ready. And now I don't have that problem. However, doesn't seem to work too good with phone trees and menus... Somewhere the voice gets lots of the numbers don't do anything. Haven't submitted a ticket about it yet, just sayin'...

I have noticed that my TK6000 looses connection at least once a day. It's easy to resolve by rebooting, but I don't know how many calls have been lost in between. Anyway, this is especially annoying since the message playing for the caller is "This number is not connected", in worst case a buzy signal would be accepatable.
On my router, using dd-wrt, I have an option called proxy watchdog, that would eliminate the issue. However, in order to set this up I would need a proxy IP and a proxy port as well as the recommended intervall. I would very much appreciate your recommendation.

Just thought I'd mention I got a NetTalk 6000 and it has worked for me very well. They got the DTMF problem resolved about 3 or 4 days after I received my unit, they have activated voice mail, and on my Uverse set-up, I've not had a single port or connection loss issue.

The only thing I'm still waiting on is a rather odd periodic garbling while on a call. Seems about every 10 - 15 minutes, there will be a 1 - 2 second 'hitch' where the sound bubbles and slows, then breaks free. Weird, but workable since it's so short.

One difference that may surprise folks is that NT6k has a 90 minute per-call limit as opposed to MJ's 120 minute per-call limit.

You could use a splitter backwards and have both lines service the same phone for inbound, but I have NO IDEA how an outbound call would work - when you pick up the handset, would you get dial tone from both services?

Damn, I just bought magicJack yesterday, did the 100k resister fix, all is well, and now I found the thread this device! I'm using an old laptop for my magicJack, but it would be nice to avoid that altogether. So, what's the consensus on netTALK vs. magicJack? There's nowhere one can buy netTALK from a retailer, is there? Would be nice to try it out and return it locally, if needed.

Having just bought MJ, I can either (A) order netTALK and, if I like it, return MJ to the retailer within 30 days, or (B) use my MJ for a year and keep an eye on netTALK to see how they're doing (still business, troubles?) when it's time to renew.
