I have a win fax program 10.0 and I have magic jack. I am trying to fax out by using both ,I can not. Would you please instruct me how do it?, if you might know.

If you go from the magicjack and plug into your modem in your computer, then use windows fax and scan and it works fantastic. This has cleared up all my issues.

Has anyone tried to hook up a fax phone line to the Magic Jack?

RE: Faxing With Magic Jack
Unplug the phone line and plug in the fax line into Magic Jack. I love my Magic Jack savings. There are times when I do need to recall because of a bad connection. However, the $5500 (!) savings in 5 years makes me put up with a few recalls. (09/24/2008)

Piece of crap, 5 dials to get a connection. Most times the connection fails within a minute or two. Crosstalk with music in background, etc. Maybe this will work in a year or two, but for now I'm sticking with my cell & land line.

My husband bought the magic jack and loves it. Uses it all the time and has not had a problem with it yet. (09/25/2008)
I've tried it. I can't quite recall what happened. The law office I sent it to locally said they got a sheet from me with nothing on it but my number signature. I'll try it again later. (11/08/2008)

I have my magic jack set up on our fax machine all the time. Receiving I do not have a problem. Sending sometimes I have problems, but usually if I retry it I can get it through. I think it all depends on the amount of traffic on my server network. When I fax in late evening, it goes through with no problem. I do not know the reason why.
Also, my fax number is assigned as a local number for where my Mom lives in Missouri instead of where I live. She is on a limited income and local calls for her are free. She makes a local call in Missouri and I get it here in Indiana. Works like a charm. Love the magic jack. (11/10/2008)

I have a cannon image class 3240 and it won't work yet. But the voice quality is sometimes better than my Verizon cell. I would have to say that everything you read is not always true. The best advise I can pass on is test your speed. I use the 15-16mbs? Anyway it's through the cable company. Never a problem just doesn't have a lot of numbers in rural areas so be prepared to get one from a metro city. Who cares it's only 40.00? It works fine for me. (11/18/2008)

Love my magic jack. I can send and receive but my ex-girlfriend has problems. I don't know if its the bandwidth or the actual printer. I will suggest for her to plug in the fax directly, that's the only thing that hasn't been tried yet.
Great product, no brainer. (12/07/2008)

I get a couple of beeps and then it goes to a dial tone. Have never been able to get through faxing and the phone quality stinks so far. Vonage is better and worth the price when it comes to quality and dropped calls, plus I get a local number so people don't have to pay long distance charges to call me. Magic Jack requires major upgrades if you ask me and they need to do it soon. They seem to be making money off from people right now for just trying it. I will come back to magic jack when they improve at least by 50%. (12/08/2008)

Faxing is a hit and miss on voip connections. I suggest you get an online fax service like Onesuite.com online fax for better reliability at $1 month with unlimited receiving. Just use MJ for voice calls. (01/27/2009)

I was one of the first ones to get magic jack after I lost sunrocket. Minor inconvenience, but for the price it is great. I recently tried splitter for phone and fax (hp 7555) and I was able to fax perfectly. I did not try receiving one yet though. I happy with MJ so far. (02/03/2009)

I just purchased magic jack today. Here is what I found which I found to be interesting;
I installed magic jack on my desktop computer which is connected to hardwire (LAN) connection through my Linksys router, which is connected to High Speed cable modem service which is running at Downstream of 8 (Mbps) Mega bits per second, and upstream of 768 (Kbps) Kilo bits per second. Also I had a hand me down fax machine that is the *same model* of the fax machine that I purchased from a store. I plugged in the hand me down fax in the magic jack and the store purchased fax machine to my home's land line service, and send and receive faxes on each of the two machines and I did it twice, and I was able to confirm the fact I did not encounter any errors on both machines. I used two fax machines. Make/Model: Brother Laser Intellifax 2800 (04/07/2009)
This was one of my biggest concerns before I switched over to MJ because I fax a lot from my home computer and didn't feel that it would work. Then when I actually got MJ and hooked up everything, I tried to fax using my internal fax program called WINFAX, it worked! It even seems to transmit faxes a lot faster than when I had vonage. You will need an internal fax program first. (05/08/2009)
I guess most fax machines use analog to communicate with one another. The magic jack is a digital phone line and requires an r- interface port to convert the analog signal from your fax machine to a digital signal. (07/28/2009)
