Bunch of data weenies who have zero clue how analog POTS was designed to work. They wait a prescribed number of seconds (silence at the end of your caller’s call after they hang up) for you to dial a number and when you don’t they drop the call and send you a re-order tone (“fast busy”) for a while thinking you left your phone off-hook.Įventually your answering machine hits it’s time limit on the recording and hands up / opens the loop.įorward disconnect in POTS is supposed to be >500 ms but many voip providers set it lower or don’t do it correctly at all. Their dumb system then thinks you’re wanting to place an outgoing call. So what happens is, they disconnect the inbound call without the voltage interruption and your answering machine is still in a line off-hook or seized/loop closed state. They’re assuming you’re using their voice mail service and it’s likely none of their telecom engineers have even seen an answering machine, let alone used one. This tells your older AT&T device the caller hung up. In other words, when your caller hangs up they’re supposed to interrupt the line voltage briefly. It may be only when someone calls you from a particular carrier too, you can check that by having a few friends call from different providers.
Sounds like magic hack has screwed up forward disconnect. If you don't use the voicemail to email feature, you can turn it off, also from your online MagicJack account, under "Call Features -> Voicemail via Email." You can edit your voicemail PIN code (used when accessing VM from an outside line) in this same screen, by clicking "Edit your PIN" which appears under your phone number. Oddly, stutter dialtone is *not* turned on by default with MagicJack, but you can enable it with the click of a button from your online MagicJack account, under "Call Features -> Advanced -> Voice Message Indicator." MagicJack can also generate a stutter dialtone, which will alert you of a new voicemail when you pick up your phone most modern phones with a message waiting indicator will detect a stutter dial tone and light the message waiting light without you having to pick up the phone. To check voicemail from another phone (outside line), dial your home phone number and interrupt the voicemail greeting with "*", then enter your PIN (default is 1234, but can be changed online), and you will be into the voicemail system. To check voicemail from MagicJack, just dial your MagicJack phone number from your MagicJack phone, and you'll be dumped into the voicemail system.
