Having an echo problem started a few weeks ago. Support takes me
through
a
set of trouble shooting procedures and then repeats the procedures
to
no
avail. Tried it on all of our three systems 2 Vista and a XP with
no
change. Wondering if anyone else was having this problem? Was
thinking
of
purchasing a few more as gifts but won't with a problem like this.
Think
I'll recommend Skype instead.

VOIP sucks. I think you should recommend a land line, if it's friends
your talking to. I can barely stand the quality of a typical cell
phone
call, and VOIP is ten times worse than that.

I bought it mainly to save money being retired. Guess I'll have to
live
with poor quality.

Did you give up your phone?

No need it for DSL just saving on long distance etc.

That is one place where I could see it would still be useful.

It was fun to play with for two weeks, but I knew it could never
replace my phone. Maybe if they came up with a rock solid voice mail
at least, I might give it a try again.

There was one site where I found an echo cancler, but it didn't work
for me. You might have more luck.

Mine is the older version problem just became noticeable a few weeks ago.
The TJ echo cancellation utility doesn't seem to work either. It doesn't
seem to run on Vista and runs on XP but didn't help. I thought maybe it's
not compatible with the latest firmware.

I do like the Magicjack, had occasional audio problems but this seems more
annoying.
