Re: Skype Voucher
 

I paid $30 for the unlimited year, and I also have a Vonage account. I find that Skype is markedly worse in sound quality, and calls drop out more often than on Vonage. Unfortunately! I'd like to drop my Vonage account.

Re: Skype Voucher
 

I've got both as well (I even have a digital home phone/packetcable service from my cable provider), though I seem to have more problems with my Vonage account than my Skype account. It might just be the crappy GE 5.8 Ghz handsets someone bought us as a gift.

I've always liked Skype for it's portability. It was great working from customer sites for really long conference calls where I just didn't want to be in yet another war room for 16 hours. I could just walk around with my laptop and a USB headset on. Haven't tried any long calls on my N800 though...

Re: Skype Voucher
 

Aah! I got my N800 yesterday from Amazon, and my Skype voucher is also missing! It does have the sticker on the front that says "voucher inside". Oh well. I kept the voucher that came with the broken N800 that I just returned. Also kept a stylus and the case... win.

I was hoping to get six months of calling, though...

Just dug my card out of the box. No visible expiration date (phew!).

So for you guys who ordered from Amazon and didn't have a Skype voucher, was the Nokia hologram sticker/seal on the box intact when you received your units? It's a conspiracy theory of foul play, but eh, if it peeves you that much... :P

Re: Skype Voucher
 

The seal was intact. I remember because I tried to remove it without ruining it. Not possible! :p

Re: Skype Voucher
 

Mine was also from Amazon and was definitely sealed.

Re: Skype Voucher
 

Just wanted to throw my two cents in, just bought one from Amazon as well, and it had the sticker on it and no card in the box, I even took all the panels apart and everything. It was sealed when I received it as well.

I wrote to Nokia and they say they have no promo going on with Skype, and that I should contact Amazon, which seems insane to me as the box was sealed. I have no idea who puts the sticker on the box though.

Re: Skype Voucher
 

Yup, exactly what Nokia customer service told me yesterday. Sounds like BS to me as Amazon (or anyone else for that matter) would have no business opening up a factory sealed box. More likely to be a bad batch sent out to Amazon.

Re: Skype Voucher
 

When I got my N800 on Christmas Eve from Amazon, it came with the Skype 3 Month voucher. After activation, I received an e-mail from Skype that my voucher was for one year, a most pleasant surprise. Food for thought, I guess.
