Answering Machine

I have bought an answering machine from Radio Shack with my Magicjack. It won't pick up. I changed the number of rings to two per your help instructions but the answering part picks up before there are any rings. What to do?

You may use a third-party answering machine with magicJack.

NOTE: magicJack voicemail is set to 4 (four) rings by default. The ring count may not be changed at this time.

To use your own answering machine with your magicJack:

Change the settings on your answering machine to pick up after 3 rings... before the magicJack voicemail picks up.

Please refer to your answering machine's user manual for additional details.
