Over the last few days I decided I was going to figure out how to hack my Magicjack<\/a> so I could make calls using the SIP information no matter where I was without having to carry around my Magicjack USB dongle. Also, I wanted to be able to make calls in Linux and Windows. Before I could do any of that though I needed the SIP information for my Magicjack!<\/p>\n

You see, Magicjack is really a simple device that uses the standard SIP protocol to make inbound and outbound calls. If you are not familiar with SIP, here is an explanation from Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an IETF-defined signaling protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP). The protocol can be used for creating, modifying and terminating two-party (unicast) or multiparty (multicast) sessions consisting of one or several media streams. The modification can involve changing addresses or ports, inviting more participants, adding or deleting media streams, etc… Other feasible application examples include video conferencing, streaming multimedia distribution, instant messaging, presence information, file transfer and online games.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since SIP is the standard, in theory you can take the SIP information from Magicjack and use it on any SIP enabled phone. All you need is the correct Proxy info, username and password! That is where things get tricky. Magicjack doesn\u2019t want you having this information, and using it for any other way other than its intended use is a violation of TOS. I accept no liability if you get your account pulled for violating TOS. This post is purely for informational purposes only.<\/p>\n

In theory, one could pay $20 per year for their Magicjack service, then use the SIP information to share out their number using a SIP PBX like Asterisk<\/a> to say\u2026 Oh\u2026 30 users or so. Imagine a small business doing this? The savings could be huge! Once again though, it violates TOS so I wouldn\u2019t recommend it.<\/p>\n

In order to get your username and password you will need the following:<\/p>\n
