Re: VoIP with t-home internet
da.down - good suggestion, with the adapter sounds like it would/will work. Nice to know there are otheroptions. But still seems still needing (VOIP - Internet) and not (VOLTE - Cell Tower) again but depended on internet. I could say that I haven't looked into the adapter and google voice much so I could be wrong.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: VoIP with t-home internet
UPDATE; Just a update on how I handled or am handling my Magic Jack/T Mobile internet issue. So I thought to myself the best way to handle this, (I didn't want to discontinue my T Mobile Internet service) was to remove the Internet from my Home Phone(VOIP). So I did some research and came across Voice Over LTE (VOLTE). On eBay, Ipurchased a "ZTE WF723CA" Unlocked GSM Home Phone Base. I ordered a discounted cell service GSM ($8 a month) Text/Phone unlimited, no data. Once I received the eBay item and sim card, I ported in my existing Home Phone number. I have found that even doing this, (Taking Out the Internet as being the problem) I still have and had a few issues to work thru. First,I figured out that I could not dial "1" in front of the number to call, Just the number and the call would go thru. Second, The ZTE box if a call isn't picked up it goes to voice mail. What happens here is when you push talk buttonyou hear a multiple dial tones (Indicates you have Voice Mail) You have to clear the voice mail to go back to a single solid dial tone. Thrid, A few times, testing the phone I didn't have any dial tone so I just turned off and back on the ZTE box and the dial tone cameback. There are several companies that sell (VOLTE) service and the price wasn't that bad. But I thought I would try theway I was doing it to see if I can save a few dollars. Just google "VOLTE Service" This turns your home phone into a cell phone but acts like a regularly home phone. Call the Cell Service or VOLTE Service to make sure your home phone number can be ported over. I'm sure if you ordered VOLTE Service you most likely wouldn't have any issues. You also want to consider your Cell Tower Signal strength, (here I get 3-4 bars). Just a note how I'm dealing with it, may not work for you….6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: VoIP with t-home internet
Just got done talking (live Chat) to Magic Jack. All looked good with the exception on the "Ping" Magic Jack wants 25ms or less and I'm getting about 31 at the time of the Test. Magic Jack says that a higher ping can cause some Audio Issues. Of Course, Magic Jack says to contact "My Internet Provider" about the higher Pings, and if I did that, I'm sure T Mobile Home Internet Techs would say contact Magic Jack about rising there Ping Tolerances. Currently I would say my Magic Jack is working, Dial Tone is clear, I'm able to send and receive calls. So if from time to time (which I had with spectrum too) I have an issue it is well worth it to have magic Jack for the saving and just deal with an occasional hick up. We here still have 2 cell phones for back up calling. Their Comments; (Magic Jack) "Since you are going to reach your internet service provider. I will be also suggesting you to ask for them for assistance in opening internal ports 5060-5070 on your router (UDP). These are the ports that allow the magicJack to communicate on your router/modem. Also, please check with your internet service provider/router manufacturer to check if it's possible to disable the settings called "SIP ALG" on your router/modem. This setting could be interfering with the magicJack service (though it is intended to be helpful) and can cause audio issues specifically one-way audio (the other caller can't hear you but you can hear them and vice versa). Based on the result of your internet connection, it seems that one of the minimum requirements of magicJack does not meet by your internet connection (less than 25ms ping/latency), which can cause audio issues and a technical problem with magicJack service. You will need to consult with your internet service provider, they may lower latency/ ping with your internet connection."12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: VoIP with t-home internet
Hello, I just stated with T Mobile Home Internet and needed to work out a few bugs. (Security IP Cameras, VOIP, VPN). I too use Magic Jack. All these issues cleared up once I connected an external wireless Router (Asus RT-AC1200). My Magic Jack works great now. Hope this helps, Bob25Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: High-Speed Internet Gateway will not lock to 5G speeds (5G21)
Hello, I'm new to T Mobile Home Internet (1 week), I do not have a 5G cell phone. I live in a large Los Angeles area with established 5G. I am getting 4 bars on my Gateway but am only receiving speeds in the morning around 100 and afternoon speeds are about 50. I believe, I am locked onto a 4LTE but am not sure. I can try to troubleshoot faster speeds and locking onto a 5G tower but I need to know what I am looking for. Doing a google search wasn't that helpful.There is Cell Tower Metrics on my Cell using the T Mobile Home Internet App. In the App I can see information regarding the cell tower that my Gateway is using. Can someone tell me what I look for to tell if I am on a 4G Tower or 5G Tower? Do I look at the "Band" in the cell tower metrics? What Bands are 5G? Currently my Band says "B66" is this 5G? Please Advise. Bob5Visto1like0Comentarios
