Skype offer!..... I am tempted

Just received this email from Skype....
It must be a bargain dont you think?

Buy a little Skype Credit and Talk for Britain with six months of free SkypeOut calls to UK landlines, when calling from within the UK

Note: To qualify for the offer, Skype Credit must be paid for via PayPal or with a UK-issued credit card with a UK billing address. You’ll also need to be signed into the Skype software while buying credit. Broadband internet connection required.

I think you have to buy £10 credit (minimum)

Sometimes things that are too good to be true...are often the case.

Your views please..

Kind regards
Clare

    3p (4p from 23/10/06) and 4p respectively but the point's the same.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    If you only make Evening and Weekend Calls to Uk Landlines,you would be better off using Primus Saver 2 for free. No 6 month time limit.No credit needed. Just need a BT line.
