I reconnected to my house network and it did not work with the phone attached to phone jack at my desk. I tested likewise with a 20ft cable and it worked. I tested the phone directly attached to the MJ (4ft phone cable) and it worked. I had an old computer with USB ver 1.0, so I first got a cheap USB 2.0 card which I installed which did not fix the problem - it is reasonable to assume these cards have sufficient power. I could call normally, but not get a ring. I was using a TRU8885 with 2handsets (is AC powered) - the REN on this phone is a paltry. I started with MJ connected to my home wiring (ie connect MJ to a wall phone socket hoping to have a phone elsewhere in the house work normally). I think the interesting scenario here is when people want to be able to connect the MJ to house wiring to have phones connected remotely work normally (call/ring).įirst, it is important to have phones which have REN's be as small as possible.
Seems like alot of discussion around on getting phones to ring. Posted: Sat 10:45 pm Post subject: Phone won't ring. There is more information than you will care to know or be able to remember Sandman says in his long disertation is that the chinese make most of the phones and they may be using specs that will work on standard ATT but not on VOIP.

I fired ATT local service and their crummy DSL for poor service (in the middle of a call I would get "If you would like to make a call please hang up and dial again")and horrible bulk mail since they switched to Yahoo for their email.

The device cost about 3 times what the magic jack cost but since I have Direct TV and have to have a land line connected to their receiver I will have to bite the bullet.
Apparently it takes a lot of current to make a bunch of phones ring and since I am running a long way to the telephones from the magic jack this may be the ticket. Sandman in Chicago that explains more than I can comphrehend but they sell a a/c powered telephone ring booster. In doing some research, there is a web site for Mr. Also the problem is that Magic Jack does not emit enough REN for distance and multiple phones When I did not get a ring I chatted with Magic Jack and they suggested that I try a a/c powered USB HUB Since usb ports only put out 5v I don't think this will help. So I disconnected the ATT service then solderec a red/green pair to the line and ran it to a RJ11 jack in the garage and then a 50 ft telephone pair to the magic jack. My lines were the very old not twisted pair and I had red/green and black/yellow pairs. My setup is that I run 50 ft from magic jack to my outside box where I disconnected the old ATT. I can make calls on all of my phones but no ring. Magic Jack says that they will support only a 6 ft telephone cord. I also have this problem as I have 3 phones and a fax. Posted: Sat 7:00 pm Post subject: No Ring REN is what the phone pulls (OHMS) to ring and such. I am in the process of trying to use an AC powered USB Hub to give more power to the phone Look at the base of your phone it should have a number listed for REN
#Magicjack call app how to#
I can make outgoing calls just fine, but can't figure out how to get a ringing phone in the house. Cord between Magic Jack and the phone is less than 6 feet long, as suggested by Magic Jack: phone still won't ring. The call comes in, but phone still won't ring. I've unplugged them all but the base unit: still doesn't ring. I bought a new Philips DECT 6.0 cordless phone with 1 base unit and 2 remote units.
