Boosting ring voltage for magic jack

[Ptownkid]

So I just got a magic jack the other day...and it works great. Call quality is more than acceptable, but there's one REALLY annoying catch...it won't make my dect 6.0 cordless ring...

Any ideas on how to boost the ring voltage without buying a $100 booster?

Well, i just bought a set of cheap Vtech phones and they ring...anyone want to buy some nice philips cordlesses?

Seems you got some stuff fallen off back of a lorry  ;D

Nope...just found the cheapest phones at my local best buy and it turns out they work with Magic Jack no problem...if find it very strange that some phones will ring and some won't, they are all made to see the same signal are they not?

What's the REN of the Philips compared to the Vtech?

 

[Ptownkid]

the philips is 0.0 the vtech is 0.1

Okay then... bang goes THAT theory!!!  ;D

yeah...exactly. It seems kinda hit or miss on which phones will physically ring or not...but now that we have some that do, this thing is great!
