I recently purchased the FREETALK TALK-5068 buddy pack as they call it which includes 2 web cameras, 2 headsets, and 2 vouchers for Skype minutes. Let me start by saying that the web cameras are awesome and the kit was definitely worth the money. The cameras have a rubber bendy base in the form of a body with arms and legs so you can easily stand the camera up on your desk, sling the arms over your laptop screen, etc.
No Voucher Redemption:
So inside the FREETALK TALK-5068 buddy kit there are two vouchers or Unique Numbers as they are called on the card which enable you to load your Skype account with some minutes. Its not a lot of minutes but each card is worth two Skype voucher codes of €0.51 or around $0.70. So both cards ended up providing me around $2.80 of credit to make international calls or send SMS text messages, etc. The confusing part is the fact that the cards say that you need to go to www.freetalk.me and follow the instructions. This must have been the old way that the vouchers were redeemed because now FreeTalk.me is nothing but manuals for the FREETALK product line.
Voucher Redemption:
To turn your Unique Number into a Skype voucher number you will need to visit In Store Shop and click on the Voucher tab or just click here. You will go through a six step process. I noticed that in IE and FireFox that the page would blow out sometimes so do not be surprised if you see a blank screen. Chances are if you scroll down it will be below the ending of the right column. I would recommend using FireFox as Internet Explorer was causing more problems than FF was. One other issue I ran into was the fact that one of the Unique Numbers was rejected the first time I entered it. The second time I entered the number after pressing the “Return to Previous Screen” button it worked without issue.
Good luck and enjoy the free Skype minutes.

thanks for this tip.. i was struggling to find this information! ive also left a note on the skype forums as another user was also looking for this
p.s. this probably applies to all their products.. mine was the stereo headset
Hello talwar,
Sure thing. When it was super confusing to me I figured that once I located the process that others could use the information as well. Thanks a bunch for the feedback.
I am positive like you say above that this is for all of their products.
Thanks!

Hello Amit malik,
Yes this is how you redeem the free vouchers. Did you have an actual question or comment?
Thanks.

what happens after entering the voucher unique number and ur email address? can’t really say if mine was accepted as there wasn’t any feedback. page just reloaded and the details i’d entered before had vanished. this happened everytime i tried. helppppppppppppp, pleassssssssssssssssssseeeeeeee!
apparently i was mailed and asked to follow a link . provided me with another code. guess i was just impatient.
just so u know i had to contact customer care (filled the question form)
Hello Anonymous User,
What happened when you attempted to use the second code you received via email? Did customer support simply provide you with the proper code for Skype credit? Thank you for replying to your initial comments so others would know the steps you had to take to receive your free Skype credit.
Thanks.

Hello Anonymous User,
It sounds like the process changed a bit though so filling out the forms did appear to work for you.
Thanks.

Hello Anonymous User,
The steps worked for me though some of the content displayed way down the page. It sounds as if somehow your page refreshed and you lost the data. What browser did you use to fill out the voucher forms?
Thanks.

@alex i used opera. my account has already been credited. all u have to do is wait for them to process ur request. cheers.
Hello Anonymous User,
Good deal. It sounds like Opera displayed everything properly the first time around which was a different scenario for me. When I cashed in my vouchers both Internet Explorer and Firefox blew the site out so they have either fixed things or Opera is the browser to use!~ Regardless I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
Thanks.
