I have one. The original MJ worked by plugging into a computer and
it didn't take much power... just a broadband connection. That is
what I have. The MJ2 is better because it plugs into a router and
then you plug your phone into that. I don't have one of these. MJs
do not work with splitters of any kind... and I found MJ to be kind
of touchy. When their network is busy they would drop me at 30
minuets and I would have to redial. Don't get me wrong my MJ saved
me a lot of money in long distance fees but I had lots of glitches
and bios updates that it stopped working until I figured it out and
one just died on me. Dealing with support is only by chat and is a
nightmare. Try it direct from the router to the PC and see if that
solves the problem. If that doesn't work try a different router. MJ
will update their software/BIOS and nothing you own will work with
it anymore. Check to see if there is a BIOS update for the router
which may solve the problem. Sounds like when I was using it....
worked OK and then just stops working.
I prefer NetTalk. http://www.nettalk.com/ Net talk will work off a
router or a PC. I have mine plugged into a router. 30 bucks a year.
Works like my land line. They say you can plug a fax machine into
it. If I could find an easy way to record the VOIP phone calls I
would close my Land Line account. I have used mine for a year and
not a single problem... nada.
Ok, thanks. I would like to have an alternative to MagicJack, which
after talking to their support, seems to be a quasi-scam company.
