Did you get two rebate forms?
Do them require activation?
thx

Just did this in NYC store on 5th ave with $5 coupon. Three rebates print out one for $20 and $50 that do not mention any activation and one for $100 with Vonage activation.

without voIP service. just to make calls to reg phone. dont need to receive calls.

Short answer is NO. To make any phone call via this box, you need VoIP. I doubt Skype will work with this box.

Yes, because I don't see any VOIP adapters. Either you use Skype USB phone or use Skype software.

VoIP adapter is built in the box. That's why it has two phone jacks.

Skype does not use the SIP protocol, so Skype can not be used with this adapter, unless you use software that intercepts Skype's output and redirects it to SIP.

In for 2 at the Bridgeton store in St. Louis. They had about 5 left as of noon CST. It's not with the normal routers. It's in a little display stand in the center of the main isle. If you cann't find them and the CSR says none are available because that's what the web page says then make him look it up in the store's inventory system via SKU.

The $50 and $20 rebates print out. Then a $100 Vonage rebate with activation prints out.

Wish I had known about the $5 coupon. Could have made 10 cents or so AR and tax with the coupon.

Just bought one at local CUSA and used $5 off coupon. Three rebates printed out: $20, $50 and $100. The optional $100 MIR is for Vonage service activation. Still plenty of this router at the store.

I am not sure about that. There is some info here about unlocking the Euro version, not sure about NA version. Can any techies here confirm? Thanks

Unlocking the device and flashing it with third party firmware are two completely different things.

Mine rang up $69.99, then the cashier followed the coupon instruction to void it and then ring it up again with the $5 discount, and up pops a price of $44.99. I guess she put an extra one in there. Score.
