When done, unless you have "disable autoruns" (like I do, w/ PandaCloud anti-vi), just reboot. If it doesn't start automatically (you've autoruns disabled), either dbl click the icon on your desktop or enable autoruns. (You might want to make the services "Start" setting to "Delayed Start" so as not to interfere w/ other autorun programs on reboot--such as your security programs/Net svc.) #47 Bryant: Do you REALLY think ppl who are trying to save $$ on phn bills have the cash for iphones, et al? The person saying the "light" on the plug-in goes out after a few secs? Your device is faulty. Arrange for it to be replaced/exchanged. #54, Shirley: Probs, not listed, click here: http://magicjack.com/faq/ It's the Magic Jack site for (what poses as)customer support You'll find lots of "quick fixes" (7 per page) as well as a window where you can enter a search term. DON'T give up if you don't see your prob listed. Every time you click an answer a whole new screen-full of OTHER answers are listed. (Have yet to find mine, tho.) #38 Carey Johnson: If all else fails, at the bottom of the last link above is a link to click for "live" tech supp't. Is prob'ly one of those frustrating, "Hi, my name is ____. How can I help you?" with pre-programmed answers. #35, Wm Brown, sorry, but that's the closest to "live" as I can find... (But obviously there IS a phn # somewhere,coz someone above said, "Tech supp't said nothing abt it..." (RE: the "hub." That's the best I can do for y'all. I nd focus on finding an answer to MY prob. (I have important biz CALLS to make & when I dial out, instead of the usual MJ [male] voice spkg, is a woman saying the call can't go thru @ this time & then (so fast can hardly catch it: Error 140T. I assume the "T" is for Tigerjet. The manufacturer). More solutions:

“Error 401″ is on the same pg (if not, enter it in the search window).

#43, Carl in Kuwait: just plug it into a USB port & follow the prompts. When done, unless you have “disable autoruns” (like I do, w/ PandaCloud anti-vi), just reboot. If it doesn’t start automatically (you’ve autoruns disabled), either dbl click the icon on your desktop or enable autoruns. (You might want to make the services “Start” setting to “Delayed Start” so as not to interfere w/ other autorun programs on reboot–such as your security programs/Net svc.)

The person saying the “light” on the plug-in goes out after a few secs? Your device is faulty. Arrange for it to be replaced/exchanged.

It’s the Magic Jack site for (what poses as)customer support

You’ll find lots of “quick fixes” (7 per page) as well as a window where you can enter a search term. DON’T give up if you don’t see your prob listed. Every time you click an answer a whole new screen-full of OTHER answers are listed. (Have yet to find mine, tho.)

#35, Wm Brown, sorry, but that’s the closest to “live” as I can find… (But obviously there IS a phn # somewhere,coz someone above said, “Tech supp’t said nothing abt it…” (RE: the “hub.”

That’s the best I can do for y’all. I nd focus on finding an answer to MY prob. (I have important biz CALLS to make & when I dial out, instead of the usual MJ [male] voice spkg, is a woman saying the call can’t go thru @ this time & then (so fast can hardly catch it: Error 140T. I assume the “T” is for Tigerjet. The manufacturer).

STOP publishing your phone numbers! Any & every crackpot on the internet is able to call you! (I'm constantly AMAZED at the number of ppl who find joy making other peoples' lives miserable!) I, too, am a MJ user who came in search of help... but this site obviously isn't where to find it... but there are a few ppl who *I* can help. #12 & others w/ receptivity probs, i.e. those who hear "every other word": The inventor of MJ didn't think far enuff ahead to realize a person may be USING his/her PC for somethg when a call comes in. Shut down whatever apps you can, ESPECIALLY Windows Media Player (& other viewers, such as VLC, Quiktime, etc)or at least stop/pause them. If you're watching a movie, especially 'Streaming Video', shut it down. The same goes for YouTube & *ESPECIALLY* stop any & all TORRENTS (Seeding &/or Downloads). I learned, thru experimentation, if I stop "uTorrent" I RARELY have reception probs.(But you need to be sure you've STOPPED the torrents & shut DOWN the program. Merely closing it or even stopping/pausing a torrent will still allow a torrent to seed if you're a "critical" seeder. The way I learned what can stay running when I get a call from MJ was by shutting down ALL my apps & then enabling them, one-by-one. (Same as when try'g to isolate the source of a problematic update/program.) As silly as it sounds, signing OFF of the internet may be all that's needed. #5 (John Lennon -- glad you're still alive. Wait'll Yoko hears of it!) The "thingy" that pops up is programmed into the app. Search for "Turn MJ into a Service" & follow the instructions EXACTLY. It'll run automatically in the background. The other "thingy" is the splash screen. Search: Magic Jack + splash screen + disable. Now if anyone out there knows how/why my MJ suddenly began tellg me there's no "new pictures or video images loaded on this device" after I ran WMP for the first time (I know wmp somehow "synced" w/ the MJ but can't figure out how to UNsync it. Am totally cut off in the NM desert & now, for some reason my (Verizon) cell phone is telling me my phone is "in a coma." (Did it have a brain injury/aneurism that burst w/o my knowing it? :-D Hang in there, ppl. Try to stay cool. (Remember catching more flies w/ Honey vs. Vinegar!) Hey, people!
