"Bring your own device" is the top of the list. Having "Name" (incoming and outgoing) would also be very nice.
If the 2 features above were available, I would purchase several more numbers.
Voxox previously allowed "BYOD", but they changed their SIP passwords. |

Sorry, neither will be forthcoming. BYOD eliminates too many eyes that can be sold to advertisers and Caller-ID Name inbound/outbound is beyong MJ's control. The only info that gets passed to the terminating carrier is the CID Number. Most big-time carriers use a database call to associate the Name to be displayed with the number on your handset display. Since MJ does not undertake the effort or expense to be part of this nationwide database, there is no name that matches your MJ number. Depending on the carrier at the destination, the name slot may say CALIF, unavailable, out-of-area, anonymous or just have the number repeated. YMMV
Conversely, for INCOMING, MJ is not willing to pay for the database access and no NAME is displayed on the handset. Odd occasions where an incoming number is already included in your local MJ phonebook you may get matching name info but this is purely serendipitous.
You may want to consider nettalk.com, which includes $100 lifetime voip service and their own ATA. Contact me prior to purchase about how to get a $12 rebate on the nettalk device. _________________ Good Luck

Crackerjack,
Thanks for the info about CID. Much of it was news to me and explains a lot about MJs bare bones CID. Makes better sense now. _________________ Holman TC5700 512/1gb

You missed the one major feature that caused me to send mine back.
The ability to NOT have the interface popup whenever there is an incoming or outgoing call! I can dial my phone or answer it without interruption of my work in the machine. I'm sure this feature will never be added, since sticking the advertising in your face is a major reason for the popup.
Of the other feature they should have is the ability to work properly with Windows 7. You have to manually start MJ whenever you reboot or return from sleep mode. Recovering from sleep mode without restarting the device would be a huge plus, many other products have no issue doing this. I never tried it, but I suspect that recovery from sleep mode for other versions of Windows doesn't work either.
You get what you pay for certainly applies to this product! I'm going to pay more for a product that works properly... |

You can use the free Magicsilence tool to take care of this issue at http://tools.pcphonesoft.com or http://www.magicsilence.com .
If it does not meet your needs for whatever reason, it does include an uninstall application. |

| It appears MagicJack has preempted that application. When you use it, the dialing on MJ ceases to work. |

| Magicsilence is definitely working fine on XP/Vista/7. Make sure you have the latest release installed. |

I did indeed use the latest version, but MJ also had given me an update to the MB firmware for Windows 7, which I suspect has stopped it from working.
This is a mood point now, I've already sent mine back. |

| Anyone know if/when MJ will have a more advanced version of Voice Mail, which will include MULTIPLE mailboxes instead of just one? This would be very useful for small businesses. |

And all that for $20 a YEAR!! Good luck with that, but if I can make a suggestion. I would not hold my breath as only Smurfs are blue.

When will multiple mailboxes be available in voice mail? Never ever and definitely not any sooner than that.
You can however use the free MagicRingForever tool at http://tools.pcphonesoft.com to keep voice mail from picking up.
Once that is in place, you can connect an external answering machine (or phone + answering machine combo) that has multiple mailboxes to your magicJack USB dongle. |

This would allow us to use Magic Jack in an office setting with a telephone switch. Need main line, then rollover to each additional line if previous lines are busy. This must happen at MJ server. This would allow businesses to use multiple magic jacks on a telephone switch.
I predict this would result in a huge increase in your sales because offices would want many lines. I have an 11 employee business and I would want at least 8 lines. Multiple computers dedicated to Magic Jack lines would be much cheaper than my phone bills are currently with Verizon. This would be HUGE for Magic Jack. |

NetTalk has a similar feature. You can call forward up to multiple numbers. If the first hnumber is busy, it will go to the next number and so on. You can also get a free google voice account. Hope this helps.

Just get a free Gmail account. Then have your MJ voicemail sent to it. Then set up Gmail to auto-forward to as many emails as you like. I have mine set to forward to my email, my wifes and to send a text message both of our cell phones. Be sure to use filters so you don't get flooded with emails. You can have it set to only forward emails from MJ. In order to have it sent to our cells I just had to put my ten digit number @ vzwpix. com. Other cell carriers have similar extentions. |
