Since the MJ dongle is based on the TigerJet software and chip, it plays very nicely with this software. The software I am speaking of is (IP Phone Center) by TigerJet. 1) Download this software for free, and run the install program. http://www.tjnet.com/software/ip_phone/installation.htm 2) Plug in your MJ dongle. Do not plug in the dongle before you have installed IP Phone Center. 3) While the MJ dongle is plugged in, stop the MJ software. Just use Stroths MJ Utility Suite 1.6 posted in this forum to stop the MJ software. If you will not be using MJ at all and want only to use Skype, then go to msconfig in windows, and under the Start tab, uncheck the following two items: magicjack cdloader2 4) Open IP Phone Center, and configure it for Skype. It will use your MJ dongle as a USB phone. Make sure you configure Skype to use the USB phone as the sound device for microphone & speakers. 5) Plug cordless phone of your choosing into MJ dongle and enjoy. If you desire to use your MJ dongle as it was intended, then simply restart your MJ software. Especially useful for those who have problems using MJ, and are using Skype instead or for those who have a dongle but no desire to renew their MJ service. It works very well in my opinion. Obviously I have too much time on my hands, which how I discovered this nifty use of the MJ dongle. The key features of the IP Phone Center software: � Full Skype interface API support. � Multiple languages interface support � SkypeOut call using the phone key pad � Rings on Skype's incoming call with caller ID � Use your choice of phone (including cordless phone) � Sound card independent and does not occupy your sound channel � New feature: Make Skype call from your Phone's history list. � New feature: Upload Skype contact list to your phone's history list.

I'll bet this will be real popular with the folks that have jumped ship for whatever reason and are now using Skype. I personally don't thing the Skype to standard phone adapters are all that good and most of the vendors/manufactures don't seem to really support the product very well. Most of the drivers that I have used are somewhat aged and I don't know how well they would play with anything but XP. This work-around you have come up with should at least work up to VISTA and possibly Windows 7. Regards, PS - could you possibly add what MJ stuff you turn off and how to go about it. - Thanks.

It's a nice addition if your really worried about ever being cutoff for excessive calling. The other great thing is you come up unavailable so no need for any extra programs ever going down to block your caller id.

It would seem that much of the software from the install is not necessary - only the drivers for TigerJet hardware so Skype can see the MagicJack USB device. The TigerJet web site has locked out the drivers set download. I would love to have the TJ drivers so I just use the MagicJack hardware with Skype. Any help out there?

Did not install anything anymore except the Magicjack software. Was able to use it at the "same time", meaning if nobody was calling Magicjack, I can use it for Skype and vice versa. No hacking or special software needed. Back to top waterborn0023 MagicJack Newbie Joined: 21 May 2009 Posts: 4 Location: Florida Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 10:07 am Post subject: Software is Sensitive to Something INstalled -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I installed the 8.30 version. Here are the results: Under Vista 64bit, I get an error message after starting the IP Phone Center of "pc2pcCAll.exe" not found, and then immediately an error stating the sound device database is wrong, that a full reboot is necessary. The IP Phone Center application indicates that it cannot find the MJ hardware. Although Skype will work in the conditions listed above, you do not have the primary value of the MJ hardware, e.g. pick a cordless phone up and start dialing without having to use "##" type codes. Plus, you must use the computer where Skype is installed to start dialing and to accept an incoming call. Under Vista 32bit, I get the same error message as above however the IP Phone Center continues to run and finds the MJ hardware. In Vista 32bit, I am able to use the MJ hardware in all of its glory: just start dialing to make a call and just hit talk button on cordless phone to answer a call. Any ideas for the Vista 64bit OS or how to eliminate the error messages when booting up on either setup?

Back to top waterborn0 MagicJack Newbie Joined: 13 Jul 2009 Posts: 3 Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 2:19 pm Post subject: Working with Vista -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I finally got these drivers (most of them but not all) to work under Vista 64 (and Vista 32). The first problem with both versions of Vista is that you must install from an Admin users account of which the "User Account Control" option is turned off in the security options. Otherwise, this software will not install correctly. If you do not see the dialog that requests you to enter your name, then you have failed to do the above. When you have the above installed under either Vista, you will always have an error when starting up. From the previous email from me on same subject, that message indicates a problem with the database recording. Just select OK, and your MJ hardware will function with Skype without requiring ## to dial or answer. As a matter of fact, if you do enter ## to dial a call, the software will dial the number that you want and also dial the first entry in your contact list - so don't hit ##. However, in the system event log, the file "TLRecAgent.sys" will fail to load. This driver is installed but cannot be loaded in either version of Vista, for some reason?? Anyone have a Vista version of this driver?

The cost of the software is $12.95. Soon they will release a software option to use magicJack with X-Lite/SIP.

Incoming: When I call Gizmo from my cell, the phone (connected to magicjack dongle) doesn't ring. 2. Outgoing: When I pick up the phone, I head dial tone so I tried to make outgoing call. But nothing happens. I can see the numbers are typed in Gizmo app as punch the numbers on the phone but that's it. Any help will be appreciated.
