Thanks! I haven't even attempted it yet because the manual kept talking about phone jacks and said to call if you only had a cell phone. Well, I didn't want to call and use up my minutes. Also said the transmission was done once a week by calling up a toll free #. I'll try to hook it up this weekend.

mine is nothing like that...mine transmits through my computer...I have never had to call them...do they have different variations on the product or something?

Upon completion of the membership form, your household will be placed on our waiting list, and will be contacted as soon as a spot on our panel for a household like yours becomes available.
We look forward to your participation! Sincerely,
Lynne Morrison
National Director
Homescan Consumer Panel

i still have not hooked mine up. i have been so busy this past week with my daughters party and everything else going on. i am going to try and hook it up tomorrow and will post any info you all would like to know.

I finally got a response to the email I sent 5 or 6 days ago. The reply was:

It will not work with a cell phone. If you can transmit elsewhere that
is fine or you will have to send it back. Please let us know.

Well, I rarely go to anyone else's home and my mom doesn't have a landline either. Guess I'll be sending mine back after all.

oh well. better luck next time....

Thank you for signing up to participate on ACNielsen's Homescan Consumer Panel! Your household is on our Reserve Status Waiting List. This means a scanner is not available; however, your potential panel membership is very important to us. So, until a place on our panel opens up for a household just like yours, we'd like to give you more information about the panel.
As a Homescan panelist, your consumer opinions count each time you record your purchases or take one of our surveys. Your opinions will make a huge difference in what manufacturers make and what retailers sell.
Speaking of making purchases, did you know that according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Valentine's Day is the second most popular holiday for greeting-card purchases made by U.S. consumers? Here's some more data about this consumer-focused holiday:

• Last year, PayPal reported that online purchases for Valentine's Day increased 23 percent from 2005.
• The estimated number of roses produced for Valentine's Day in 2006 was 189 million, according to the American Society for Florists.
• In February 2006, the approximately 29,000 jewelry stores in the United States sold $2.6 billion worth of merchandise.

Remember: Homescan Consumer Panel membership is always voluntary and completely free – there is never a cost to you. We provide the scanner and any associated materials.

I've been doing homescan for a while now and I think it is fun. The first scanner I recieved was broken but once I got my new one in it was a breeze. I think it is kinda fun to scan everything.

I like it, too, it doesn't take long once you get the hang of things
