Mini Magic Jack Phone

Bought the magic Jack phone for $39.99 which included a one year service and phone number with all the bells and whistles of caller id and call forwarding and all that stuff.  But I'm a traveling techie.  I really do want the $19.95 annual fee for magic jack phone service and the caller id and call forwarding and voicemail.  For $19.95 thats not bad.  But as I said before I'm a traveling techie and I was traveling with my cordless home phone with my magic jack. I elimited carrying my home phone with me by purchasing this little gadget from Ebay.  Its called Mini Hands Free Magic Jack Phone.  It's that blue thing, about the same size as my magic Jack.  I love it.  So far so good... I will let you guys know later if it gives me any problem.  Its a lot better than carrying your home phone with you everywhere.  This gadget takes up a small space and theres no need to plug it to an outlet for power.  Just hook it up to your magic jack and BAMM!  You're on service.

How to fix your Magic Jack if it doesn't work on your computer

MY MAGIC JACK 

So, I finally purchased my magic Jack at Walmart for $39.95 plus tax.  The "As You Seen On TV" products states that you can  have a phone service for $19.95 per year by simply plugging this USB device to your computer and plug in any of your home phone to the device and wala!!! You Have a Home Phone Service.  And so I did, I plugged it to my computer and plugged my home phone but nothing happened.

As I was about to return it, I decided to test it to my new Toshiba Laptop with Vista Operating system and it works just find.  But I use my HP computer with Windows XP operating system and it just freezes my computer.  So I just decided to use my Toshiba Laptop to use my Magic Jack.  But I'm always using my HP Laptop and I had to find a way to make it work.

I visited the www.magicjack.com to see if I can call a representative or tech but there was no number listed.  You would think a phone company or a company who offers phone service would have a phone line with technical service representative.  And NOPE, no phone reps.  But they do have a chat with a rep.  And the Rep was actually helpful and gave me the following steps to fix my issue.
