Skype (via Acer UK Facebook page) is offering 1 month of free calls by simply registering your email address. As stated on the site, you will receive an email with a voucher code within 24 hours.
Seems very straight forward, and available to Australia.
Full T&Cs are available here.
Not available for existing accounts.
Hi Unity. Are you sure it's new customers only? Can't see that anywhere in the T&Cs.
Skype account required and subscription may only be redeemed in respect of one Skype account.
It's all good now that the link has been updated. Thanks TA.
Cheers.

I might need to use some different emails!

Got the "Check your gift*" but no email so far…

Thanks. TA. Overlook that!
Thanks TA! No email yet, but I'm sure it'll arrive.
I'm getting the "Already Registered" error with the new link too.
Edit: never mind, resubmitted it and it worked. Thanks!
not a deal. anyone with a skype account can get a free month trial (without having to sign up through acer).

Thanks TA. Signed up and awaiting code.
Is Facebook required?
don't think so - you do not have to like anything. Just fill up details on thr FB page as per the link.
I get prompted to sign in under my fake Facebook account. (I don't have a real account any longer. ) can anyone post a link to the actual deal? I'm sure others are in the same position as I am.
Why have they removed India- not that shiny of deal without India - for me.
But Australia landlines will serve a bit.
may be they afraid of going bankrupt if India calling is included ?
haha.. don't know how can that be if they have fair usage policy in place.
"You have to agree to be informed about Acer products and services."
What a deal breaker.
Unsubscribe after getting the first email?
already paid for 1 year membership.. i hope i will get an additional month's free
Looks to add as an additional service. So no free extra month. http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/53454/26444/my_account_…
"You have to agree to be informed about Acer products and services."
Bleh
No Vietnam again - looks like the communism government there is very restrictive (I'm Vietnamese btw).
Your username is totally Irish:
"Ah to be sure, to be sure Murphy, your Pho is ready, wid a nip of Baileys on de side.
Nhanh lên"
haha cheers KTA!
No Philippines no good for me
Can someone recommend a skype to SIP service so I can use this on my ATA.
never used skype to call landlines and mobiles before. How does this product work? Do I use it on a laptop or my smartphone with the Skype app. I will be going overseas soon, can I use this to call Australian mobiles and landlines? And can I activate this some time next year or must it be activated now?
If it's like the other promotions, it'll be 1 month of free Skype World, which excludes Australian mobiles (unlike their paid premium service).
It's the same as the free 3 month Skype you get with some Lumia phones.
Why is this World-wide when the T&Cs says its not and list number of countries.
still waiting for the code…
I am still waiting too. It has been 22 hours so far and nothing :(
Same here Nothing, Nada, Zilch ! :(
same here, pissing me off!
same here. nothing.
Just got my code after around 24 hours.
Got the email with the code. Thanks OP.
Yep, just got mine too. Took 9 hours, but we got there :)
7.5hrs but I'm calm…NOT! lol
says "already registered", which was me.
but no code so far. did it yesterday at this time.
I'll wait and watch
Anybody else having an issue that after completing all fields (full name, email address, math captcha & 2 check boxes) on the Acer facebook 'Free Skype calls!' page getting "All fields are mandatory" error upon clicking Submit, ie. not getting a confirmation of successful submission?
I think I signed up too late, it's been past 24 hours now.
See my post above for approximate time I signed up:
josephchi 23 hours 27 min ago
Page not found?? Anyone? Or is it just me?
Still there for me. No code email though…
Does this need Facebook account log in ? or just random email would be OK? Just out of curiosity , How did the promoter know you are in the designated countries by just providing your email address?
Mine just came… I'd forgotten about it already, lol. Took about 30 hours.
Thanks TA!
Finally got my code after 30 hours.
Got the code and activated BUT then got an email from skype mentioning that:
Please note: This is a recurring payment.
We have stored your payment method and you will be charged each time your subscription automatically renews until you cancel. You can cancel any time on your account page under Subscriptions.
So do I need to un subscribe. Its got Paypal as a payment method and to delete it says to do it from PayPal account and I cannot see anything about Skype in my PayPal account.
Anyone with this issue?
DUH!: Not sure how that became bold
I didn't get that.. Got a notification email saying its activated and I checked the subscription, it says this subscrption expires this time next month. So I would assume no recurring fee
Fixed.
Mine looks to be a voucher with a specific expiry date. I wouldn't presume it would roll over and cost based on that. http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/53454/26446/my_account_…
[Edit] And the fact under "Payment Settings" I have "You haven't stored any payment details yet."
Got mine 1 hour ago. Cheers OP!
Got my code today. Thanks OP.
Looks like I have until 1st March 2015 to use it.
Voucher comprises a one (1) month “Unlimited World” subscription. Offer must be redeemed on or before March 1, 2015. Subscription commences on redemption date. Skype account required and subscription may only be redeemed in respect of one Skype account.
the offer available tell whene !!
noob
Trying to register but Anyone else getting this when clicking the link?
"The page you requested was not found."
ozBargained!
comes up with a "We are currently making our Hello giveaway's registration page better. We'll soon let you know when it's ready. Watch this space"
:( great post though OP!!
I haven't got the email, can anyone tell me what email address did you received it from? I'm using my "junk" email, so I have hundreds of email to go through, I might miss the email.
There is no option for registering on the link provided.
does it mean the deal has expired?
is there another link?
Too slow, looks like it's gone..
