Yup...that's a serious problem Toby10. I was trying to demo my
SqueezeRadio at a Starbucks to my friend. Even though Starbucks has
free WiFi, the SB won't connect...hence no demo.
What's more serious is you're traveling with your SB and your hotel
room has free WiFi. You think you're all set but then your SB can't
connect because it has to the accept the terms of
useugghhh...screwed again!!!
Not having a SqueezeTouch, I don't know what it can do but it looks
like a mini iTouch that it might just have an acceptance of terms box
on its screen. No?

Re: [slim] the SQUEEZEBOX RADIO SHOW (this Saturday night 11pm EST)
No, the Touch is simply a table top player intended to be connected to your stereo. The interface is essentially the same as the SB Radio. Touch has a lot of great features: bigger screen, touch screen, full button IR remote, built in mini-server, excellent audio outs (analog digital), etc.. But it still does not have a browser to see or respond to web pages. For any such simplistic network devices like SB players connecting to an open WiFi, it is best to first connect with a laptop to see if such login screens are needed. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] the SQUEEZEBOX RADIO SHOW (this Saturday night 11pm EST)
Here's the Hack or workaround: 1. Call in as a host on a regular phone and get the show going. This should take about 3 minutes. 2. Call in as a guest on the MagicJack. Once you accept yourself as the guest on MagicJack (on the Switchboard), you can hang up your regular phone. 3. You can control or accept other guests from your onscreen Switchboard. The downside is (a) you can only have 4 guests (instead of 5) as a free subscriber; and (b) if you get disconnected, you are screwed since you will need to call back on the host line and repeat everything again. Here's the cash layout for calling in lieu of MagicJack: $0.25 ATT Prepaid Phone per minute _x__3_Three minutes estimated to get show going $0.75 Total Listen to discussions about MagicJack at 23:00 minutes (or copy following link into your Squeezebox favorites): http://www.blogtalkradio.com/convertplaylist.aspx?PlayListUrl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.blogtalkradio.com%2fblogtalkradio101%2fplay_list.xml%3fshow_id%3d1647267OutputType=m3u Source: BlogTalkRadio Training: Live Q and A Session Original Air Date: March 16, 2011 http://www.blogtalkradio.com/blogtalkradio101/2011/03/16/live-q-and-a-session -- chipmalee chipmalee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39278 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

No problem then, let me know how I can help. So basically my phone line will be used as an invisible operator, as it were. Callers are actually calling you, but the third party on my phone is actually the podcast stream. Correct? I'm almost certain I have 3-way calling, dunno about the conferencing aspect.

Chip, Yeah, I've read also where if they see unusual call volumes on a MJ account (like a business) they will terminate the account. What that call volume threshold is is completely up to MJ's discretion. BTW: Have you completed a SB show?

Re: [slim] the SQUEEZEBOX RADIO SHOW (this Saturday night 11pm EST)
Hey toby10, No...never gotten to 1st base with the Squeezebox Show because this long distance fiasco is draining all my efforts. I'm looking at a couple of other options but I don't think I want to pay Verizon $10 every time just to host a show for 30 minutes. If you want to help, can you patch me into a 3 way teleconference? You would be co-host and I'm assuming you have another low cost long distance provider besides MagicJack. I'm also reading that Google Voice now blocks the hosting/213 number. -- chipmalee chipmalee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39278 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] the SQUEEZEBOX RADIO SHOW (this Saturday night 11pm EST)
My two phone lines through my cable provider has a bunch of features I never use, I'll check to see if conferencing is one of them. I have no interest in acting as host or co-host, but if using my phone line can help I'll gladly donate that. Would my phone number need to be public? What about something like NowLive? A friend use to do a show on there and it had some sort of call in feature with lines waiting. Each show had their own chat room as well. But NowLive did not stream very well to SB players though. :( -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] the SQUEEZEBOX RADIO SHOW (this Saturday night 11pm EST)
Thanks toby10. I'm going to try one last test to try to trick the system with MagicJack. You don't need to reveal your telephone number. All you have to do is dial in a 213 number and punch in the access code BlogTalkRadio supplies...then dial my home number and tie us into a 3-way conference. I'll send you that information in a PM. I've never tried NowLive but I've been a listener on BlogTalk for about a year now. I've become an expert on streaming them on my SqueezeRadio. I am proud to say I've learned some tricks recently, such as being able to fast forward (as well as reverse) their podcast on the SqueezeRadio. I've never had any problems with BlogTalk so they get a big THUMBS UP from me. -- chipmalee chipmalee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39278 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The 213 area code is in LA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_213 but for some reason MagicJack considers it an international area code...Algeria perhaps http://www.magicjack.com/international/ Please clear this up this serious matter as many people on the web have had the same problem. What MagicJack didn't say in that email was, as my friend explained to me, the FCC has some regulation where if the user calls these teleconference numbers, MagicJack has to pay a fee (as oppose to when the user calls ordinary numbers, the telephone company has to pay MagicJack). This is why MagicJack is so cheap...they make a profit every time you make a call.
