then they will ask you question, they are giving you coordinate, you need to check the location on bing map then if correct they give you skype credit.
One task being given is "Use Bing Maps to tell me what’s at these coordinates, 51.511806,-0.141285"
The answer is Savile Row

      Took them 11 minutes to confirm contact, they then asked this:

      1. The Acer Aspire E 11 has a stylish, smart design, much like the suits that can be bought on this famous London street. Use Bing Maps to tell me what’s at these coordinates, 51.511806,-0.141285

      I answered about 10 minutes ago with no response yet. Surely this is a Skype bot and not someone sitting there and responding?

    yeah competition if you want to win a bigger prize. but for the skype credit, you can get it now while you can (150,000 - $2 skype credit).

    • 

      [Deactivated] on 14/08/2014 - 02:46

      It requires skill and competency with coordinates with a Bing map. Its not garunteed if you gave them the wrong location.

  Erm… granted I almost never use Skype, but anytime I have, it's been completely free… so what does "$2 free Skype credit" mean?
  Apologies in advance if this is an extremely naive question.

    • 

      GnarlyKnuckles on 14/08/2014 - 03:46

      That's a pretty meaningless table unfortunately daveros, cause it's lacking any real information (like whether the charges specified are "flag-fall", or "by-the-minute" charges, any T&C, etc.).
      I'll plus it anyway though, because I reckon anyone who responds to anything at this ungodly hour deserves a plus. And comparing the companies is interesting, even though at this preliminary stage I have almost no understanding of what it means.

      Nearly always per min with the apps like Viber and Hangouts and with VoIP. \
      Skype tends to throw things out with inflationary fixed starts and other stuff, effectively to sell monthly packages & what not.

  What's the correct response. For me it pinpoints the middle of a street called Savile Row.

        @joannatan:

        OK, sent another message and he/she sent me the voucher. I wonder how they can respond to so many messages without crashing their computer.
