The problem is due to DTMF sensitivity being too high. Open a chat and ask service rep to lower the DTMF sensitivity. You will then have to reset and problem should go away. Basically the equipment is sensing certain voice patterns as the signal that is sent when a person touches the keypad on the phone.

You can use Magic Jack customer care at http://www.magicjack.com/2/customercare.asp

I talked to 3 operators. The long and the short of it is that they had me:
1. remove a Majic Jack related folder from an applications folder
2. insert MJ1 and MJ2 in the Windows Firewall exceptions
3. format the Majic Jack software "drive"....and then install an upgrade.

Based on this, I think the problem crops up in the Majic Jack software. So far, it has fixed my problem, though I've not made a long call yet.

I found the Majic Jack operators very helpful. Be sure to have them step you through this.

Good Luck!

I've had this issue since day one of taking it out of the package. I've gone through step after step with MJ customer support and nothing helps it. Some days the beeping is on both ends of the conversation which is so annoying. From what I have read on other forums, there was some sort of a software upgrade in the beginning of June that screwed with alot of the MJacks. People that were never having a problem, encountered the beeping at the upgrade. There was a "fix" later in the month but it hasn't helped mine.
It can be annoying while on a call, I don't use if for business purposes so I just put up with the "beeping." The $10 a year I'm paying for the MJ is a lot easier to take with the beeping than the $40 a month I was paying ATT for a clear line.

My experience. Per my rep they only have 2 settings to choose from
1. Allow pins, banks, numbers to work ( in this setting my callees hear the beeps but I can at least use the phone for automated systems)
2. No beeping sounds ( but this breaks the automated systems).

I choose #1 but wish it could do both.

Magic jack contact number

As far as I can tell, Magic Jack doesn't have a public phone number. They have a knowledgebase and "live chat" support during various business hours. That will be your best bet for contacting them and having your issue resolved. Here is the URL:

Magic jack: computer virus took out our computer and now back in action. People can hear me, but I can't hear people on magic jack. help

Hello.

Your router may be blocking outgoing connections from the magic jack. Magic jack works on the following ports UDP 5061, TCP 80 and TCP 443. Look at the documentation on your firewall to open the ports to allow outgoing connections on these ports.

Hope this helps.

Re: Magic Jack = the person on the other end hears a beep in

I contacted Majic jack via the online interactive thru Majic Fix on the menu. They gave me a couple of upgrades but it didnot fix it. Then they had me turn the the microphone level down to 1/3 max in the control panel / sound / microhone properties. This fixed it and it has worked good now for 2 weeks. I am very pleased that they were able to help me on a Sunday evening.
