My voucher was redeemed.

Would greatly appreciate a PM.

Big Skype user here.

Thanks

chrislad · 18-12-2013 4:35pm

Mine was taken so. Thanks to the poster, but a bit silly (or perhaps a bit too much faith in humanity) to post them publicly.

AlanS181824 · 18-12-2013 4:37pm

Absolutely posted enough codes for everyone who asked, why are people getting greedy over them? It is just the ability to share your screen and video call other Skype users, for me anyway, calls do not work.

if there is no free calls then what are people getting so excited about ?

skype to skype video calls have always been free.

not very many people will use group video

AlanS181824 · 18-12-2013 6:12pm

So group video and group screen sharing are free, everything else from Premium is paid.

cruhoortwunk · 18-12-2013 6:17pm

Do you not get €70 free credit too? I know I did

Cabaal · 18-12-2013 6:21pm

likely very little chance but if anyone has a code please sent it on in a PM

Dont think you can use it like regular credit

lukaszd2007 · 18-12-2013 7:55pm

Wizzy2011 · 18-12-2013 9:42pm

Any reason why the codes are not being sent. I've tried my account several times and my betters half's email....still nothing. Would really appreciate a pm of a spare code as I'm moving to Oz soon and would be invaluable to converse with family and friends.

uck51js9zml2yt · 18-12-2013 9:58pm

My code got taken as well. Thanks for posting and thanks to the scum who stole all your fellow boards users codes. I hope you enjoy them.

If anyone can get codes can you please PM to the people on the initial list and advise on thread of the PM.

It will stop this nastiness.

Digital Society · 18-12-2013 10:21pm

So do we just throw in an email and wait for reply? How long did email take for you?

AlanS181824 · 19-12-2013 12:27am

I was trying to get some codes for ye on here for the people who had theirs stolen but I'm not receiving any code from Microsoft.

StaticNoise · 19-12-2013 3:19pm

I signed up again, after the code wasn't received.
If anyone has a spare one, I would appreciate it, very much. That is, once those who have had theirs stolen are seen to first, that is.

It is nasty that people are stealing codes like that. I thought the BA Boardsies were better than that.

gunnerfitzy · 19-12-2013 6:51pm

No luck with receiving a code.

If anyone has a spare code could they PM me?

Thanks in advance guys.

Google Hangouts does all of that and much more, for free (except for live chat support, which most wouldn't need anyway). I have weekly work video calls with 8-9 people.

On Hangouts you can you introduce Youtube videos to the session, add loads of effects, share documents, and so on.

Skype (Microsoft) is just trying to get you used to the idea that it is worth €71 a year...

magicEye · 19-12-2013 7:52pm

I've one code available, first to PM will get it.

magicEye · 19-12-2013 8:11pm

Code gone to Markjsca1 as it was the first pm received, time stamp 18:56.

coldfire1x · 19-12-2013 11:51pm

Anyone else has any spare code? Please PM. Thanks in advance

StaticNoise · 19-12-2013 11:57pm

I'm really surprised that there had been no contract from Skype whatsoever.

uck51js9zml2yt · 19-12-2013 11:58pm

If anyone has spare codes it would be nice if you could follow the list posted earlier of those who asked for codes and had them stolen.

thanks

Not to send this OT, but why aren't you signing up with your own email address.

I did and didn't receive anything back along with a lot of other people who also asked those with spare codes to pass them along and also had those codes stolen.

s_gr · 20-12-2013 12:30am

I signed up and still didnt get a code....anyone know how long it takes?

if anyone has spare code i would appreciate it by PM.

coldfire1x · 20-12-2013 12:34am

Same here, signed up but didnt receive any code. I am a skype user for years now.

Just an update on this, I've tried with so many different emails, all valid, I changed my IP, my browser, even my device to try and make up for those who had their codes stolen. I havent received anything, it says accepted but nothing gets received. Meanwhile there are so meanies this Christmas with Skype Premium that expires in 2016

physioman · 20-12-2013 12:55am

got my code. had to activate it on laptop as it wouldn't work on samsung galaxy mini phone. Free landlines is only reason I signed up to it

partyatmygaff · 20-12-2013 12:56am

Can you even get free landline calls? If you go to select a country it asks you to subscribe to Skype Premium (despite all other premium features working just fine).

When did you register?

AlanS181824 · 20-12-2013 1:18am

It's everything you get on regular Skype Premium just without the calls, I made the mistake myself in thinking the calks were included too.

Absoluvely · 20-12-2013 3:22am

I'm just going to leave this here.

I really don't think there's any need or reason to post a link to a user's personal information here.
It's against boards.ie rules anyway.

Take the listing down from ebay (EDIT: done) and give the code to the first person on the list who had their code stolen.

That's exactly what I've done. EBay is taken down (Only put it up to see if there was much interest tbh, stupid of me) I have the code I got from the email, only 1 came through. I'll take the first person that said on the thread their code was stolen and message them. BTW I only used the code Absolutely gave me, I can show this if anyone wants, such a silly silly thing to do and I am sorry.
Yeah please remove that link to my profile if you wouldn't mind.

Tap on your name up the top right hand corner, click my account, click Premium and It'll say when it expires. Something like, you cancelled your Subscription, it expires on XX/XX/14 etc.

Oh, so €71.88 is the charge for buying premium account via voucher, this is NOT skype credit
Thats why i was wondering why would they distribute €72 for FREE

That's it, you get all the features of a Premium account for free just without the calls.

coldfire1x · 20-12-2013 10:43am

Nothing in my mail yet

Tried with two of them. Saw a skype email this morning and my hopes went high but it only was a promotional email

Please let me know if anyone has a spare one. Thanks

Can we revisit the list or update it for the newbies who are looking for codes, so that we keep things organised?

Spoiler: I'm hunting for one myself. :P

userduluth · 20-12-2013 11:16am

I was on the list as well whose code was robbed by some chancer, please PM me the code if you have one.

I'm sure you've never made a mistake before have you, Mr Perfect?
Dont you dare tell me what I can and can't do, you've absolutely no right.
I've been trying to get codes for people all morning and I already gave one to Stooge. I'm trying my best to make up for it.
