After purchasing a $25 voucher for myself from Nester's good deal, I purchased a second one to use in a contest on this site.

Anybody have any contest ideas?

-a "help the community" contest where entrants have to write some useful documentation (summarizing from various forum posts) about an aspect of the 7-Eleven service that hasn't been put in the FAQ yet?

-a link contest where people have to make a link to this site to enter?

-just a random draw where anybody can enter for a fun 2007 bonus?

-awarded as judged by me to the most useful forum contributor (you can't vote for this one, bylo 😀 )?

How about a contest to get speakout to enable GPRS data services... whoever can make that happen gets the $25 voucher. 🙂

I think a lot of us would be willing to chip in funds to make that happen 😀

OK, a couple of weeks have passed and I've decided on the contest. It's almost Christmas, so we'll make it easy.

Create a new topic in the Reviews section listing:

  • Three things you like about 7-Eleven Speak Out Wireless
  • Three things you dislike about 7-Eleven Speak Out Wireless

Sometime on Sunday, December 23, I will randomly select one winner from all reviews posted between now and 12:01am PST that day. The winner will be e-mailed the voucher number for $25 in airtime.

And the winner is...

Kitty Liu!

There were 11 entries. I used an Excel random number picker (INT(RAND()*11)+1) and it gave me #4, which represented the 4th most recent entry. Congrats to Kitty -- you have been e-mailed and you have until December 26th at 12:00pm PST to claim your prize. Otherwise, I will re-draw.

Thanks to everyone for participating! Even though some of you didn't win, you certainly helped to highlight the pros and cons of the 7-Eleven service.
