If you had problem with caller-ID not showing up on your phone and you used snafu2's 100K resistor fix, does the fix work?

Hi all, new MagicJack user here. This is my first post.

I picked up a 3-station cordless phone at WallyWorld for $60 and found callerid not working with MJ. I just picked up a couple resisitors today at my local 'shack. I'll solder one up tonight and post my results. Thanks for idea of popping it into an RJ-11 coupler! That saves me from hacking up the cable and having it look like crap after I tape it all back up again! I made up a small pigtail so I could pop the coupler in-line right next to the MJ (it's nice to have cable, RJ-11 plugs and a crimper laying around in the bottom of my toolbox).

I setup an older P4 Sony laptop with WinXP to dedicate to MJ untill the linux port comes out. Rolling Eyes

Great results here, adding a 100k ohm resistor in parallel across the phone line fixed my callerid issue. Now all 3 cordless phones display caller info as they should.
Now all I need is linux support for the MJ so I get get to work on creating a plugin for MythTV!
