Handing out some paid stuff for free

A little bird flew by and whispered me that Skype is soon going to hand out some services you’d normally pay for. And you don’t have to do anything, other than just go and claim your free services. More updates on this coming soon to skype.com and this site. This will be a time-limited offering, so stay alert.

Update: [skype.com](http://www.skype.com) has now some more info on this.

    Cool. Will this work with Skype for Linux? There is no ‘events’ tab like there is on Windows. Thanks

    Skype is the absolute king of viral marketing! Kudos to the team for an excellent impementation of a frequent request (trial SkypeOut minutes). Gary

    I tried another software recently for ‘PC to phone” calls since they were and still are offering 5 minuted free per day. Unfortunately, the quality is very bad with voice echoing.
    cannot wait to try out Skypeout

    I was just wondering. Can Skype offer free skypeouts for people willing to listen to ads [ or advertisement jingles ] once every minute. What I mean is that to view video in Gamespot, I have to watch their advertisements….or musicmatch includes advertisements after 3 songs in their Radio.

    I don’t think I would mind listening to “Just do it, Nike” as long as I get to Skypeout.
    Skypeout could even replace the normal “ringing” sound with ad jingles

    hi could someone tell me why I can’t download Skype to my G4 Powerbook?
    I have it on my PC & my Desktop G4? I’m connected to the net but it just won’t select the download??
    Thanks,
