Free Skype starter kits

fagun

Per todays Metro, they're handing out free connection kits at major train stations:

Liverpool st, Victoria, Waterloo, Euston, Paddington, London Bridge, Kings Cross, Charing Cross, Cannon St, Fenchurch St, Birmingham New St, Glasgow Central, Leeds, Manchester Picadilly, Edinburgh Waverley

Saw the same article in Metro and the two main points they hand at freebies in Victoria were occupied by a paintball promotion and a crystals sale with Sally Ann in-between.

Good freebie though if it appears as it should include a headset, CD and voucher for 30mins credit (if a full Skype Starter Kit) worth around £5.

Will check again this lunchtime and evening.

HTH - Rufus.

I got one at Victoria this morning, 7:45am - it was at the bit where you leave Victoria mainline to get to the Underground (near the big WHSmith, next to a mobile phone shop).
Didn't actually see the article in the Metro though!

Oh a crappy headset :P

It's a freebie anyway. I thought it was one of those good headsets:

No great loss really. Skypeout's Global calling rate is only 0.017 euros per minute so 30 minutes would be worth 0.51 euros (about 35p)!
