@Daddyo

Are you getting a N810 or N800. I may have to look more careful.

Mine was amidst the few paper items in the N800 package I got from TigerDirect (fully sealed). Easy to miss as it's basically a business card sized piece of card stock. Colourful Skype logo on one side, promo code on the back.

I haven't used mine yet, but will before a month long trip to Asia later this year (provided it doesn't expire, I'll have to check the card again, but I don't remember seeing an expiration date).

Mine was an n800.

Thanks.

I looked again, nothing :(

I hope you are NOT planning to use it in Asia. That coupon is only good for US/Canada. BTW, I just returned from HK/China. I have a lot of info regarding internet use/wireless/cellphone/skype etc. I wish I learned about this before my trip. Post if interested.

Skype doesn't care where you are, only the person you're calling. So, you can be in Asia or Antarctica, as long as you're calling to the US or Canada, you're all set.

In principle yes, in practice NO. I cannot make call out from HK/China to US/Canada because there is NO credit. Skype made the ringtone, then booted you out with err mess no credit. I guess if you leave .01 cent in the acct you may be alright. Skype to skype is always free. It helps to buy 10$ Skype out credit. It comes in handy.

Good thing I read this! I was so excited to get my n800 I forgot about the Skype offer. It was still in the bottom of the package.

Re: Skype Voucher
 

As noted, the coupon is good for calling TO the US/Canada. Skype couldn't give a rats patoot where you are calling from as it makes no difference to the service. Skype only incurs additional operating charges (which are passed on to you) when your call surfaces to a standard switched telephone system. Origination point is always IP, which is location agnostic.

Skype's offer is essentially the old Skype North American Unlimited plan, but for 3 months. I've used this plan to call home/friends in Canada/US from all over the world.

If you have been able to do it, you probably right. I stand corrected. I fiddled with Skype for a couple minutes and kept getting kick out, I just gave up and bought some Skype credit.

Sorry about the misinfo.
