I was able to change my number yesterday too.
I was surprised to see that my new SIP password was 12 digits (rather than the old 4 digit password). This means brute forcing someone else's password is not really an option anymore, simply because there are too many passwords to try. Even brute forcing my own password will take up to 10 days using Cain. I suppose I could distribute the workload among various machines and cut that time down some too...
Of course, if finding your SIP credentials is your goal, there are much easier approaches than brute force... |

| I used the tech chat this morning. My magic jack is once again functional, and my number has been switched successfully. A big thanks to henok and amange for their help. |

Why would you want to learn someone else's password??? Maybe the answer is in your username....  |

|
|
| [font=Courier New:8ae7894bc8] [/font:8ae7894bc8]I keep hearing about being able to port one's old number to magicjack. My situation is the comcast promotional rate ends this month and we were hoping to be able to keep our number and just transfer it to the magicjack system and cancel our phone service through comcast. Can someone let me know if this is possable and if so, how do I go about it? |

I just changed my initial M/J phone number to one that's actually in my area code as of this week.
Not only did the change happen right away, but the service said they're going to forward phone calls from my other number to my new number for the next 30 days. That's nice of 'em.... now if I could only port my existing home number to M/J, I'd be set. I use a cordless phone now for MagicJack (bought it from magicvoicephone.com ) and it works great all over the house.

The cordless phone from this website is 2.4 ghz. doesn't 2.4 ghz interfere with wireless networks? OK for only wired systems but I don't believe this is good for wireless networks. |

So why is this old thread still a sticky?
Looks like this forum needs a couple more mods to help clean up things around here.

I know this thread has not had a post in several months, but as the end of 2009 nears I have to wonder if we will see the number porting commence. I'm still paying a monthly phone bill, hanging on to my phone number, in the hopes that Magic Jack will allow porting soon.
If they would just announce that it will or will not happen, or what the "minimal charge" will be. Have to wonder if it will be a yearly fee to keep the number, or a one time charge. Personally, if its anything other than a one-time fee, I'm not interested. |

"Your Question
Can I transfer or "port" my current land line telephone number to magicJack?
NOT YET, BUT COMING SOON!
We are working to give you the option to transfer or "port" your existing local phone number to magicJack, for a nominal fee.
Last Update: Dec 4, 2009"
Yawn, maybe by 2012?  |

| Like many I was so waiting for this feature. I started a 30 day trial 2 months ago hoping this was forthcoming. I returned it after the 30 days. MJ worked great but I Can’t lose my old number. For me it’s a deal breaker. Who knows when it will arrive. I’ll just wait. |
