http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=5748Virgin Mobile, seemingly popular among the strapped-for-cash young'uns, is offering people free calls if they view and respond to adverts sent to their mobile phone. According to Reuters, users "can get up to 75 minutes of free calls per month if they spend an equal amount of time looking at ads and replying to these ads via text messages."
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

This isn't really new. O2 have given out free downloads etc. if you sign up to recieve adverts for a while now.
Hope they didn't mind me signing up one sim card for the adverts, downloading stuff to the phone then changing simcards...
I had something similar to this offered to me in september at uni, I didn't try it, but my friend did, he put the sim card in a spare phone, turned it on every now and again, got a load of spam txt's and got £10 credit which he used. Not suree if im liking the idea of advertsiing coming on to your mobile, gets on my nerves how 3 do it with MMS, although I have now stopped those.Originally Posted by kalniel

Im sure one day everything will be covered in advertising
this is kinda similar to how the gizmondo's pricing works, you can either buy it for like £100 with adds or £400 without adds....
is there such a thing as a text spam filter
