Contents of a forwarded mail :

Few days back when I received a similar mail from my friend asking me to register wid mginger, I simply deleted it thinking its a bogus site.
But after going through an article in today's Financial Express( http://www.financialexpress.com/latest_full_story.php?content_id=164892), I registered to try it out. I think the concept is pretty good and it has a good potential to grow with time.

They say "Pay mobile bills by reading SMS". It actually pays you a small amount for receiving SMS ads (though am not sure hw many SMSes they send.

Pls click on the following link to try and register:

I have registered and trying to get some money.

you will be paid but you will get lots of useless SMS..that you need to delete...but its a good idea...better if they have tried to register a particular interest group and then send SMS according to that..in google way..

It must be working ...

But think of it.

20 paisa per SMS so make Rs.500/- you need to get
0.20 X 2500 = 500.00

that amounts almost 100 sms everyday...

With a average ARPU of mobile operators hovering around 350 range in india... does that mean soon enough people can get paid to use a mobile...

The concept is good indeed , but this might not work in market where you pay very less for reading one SMS advertisement.Even one would not pay you a big amount for reading one SMS advertisement.

Readin this, all I can think of is "If anyone is that desperate to get their hands on a bit of money, maybe they should go for a cheaper cell phone plan, or use it less."

There is a proverb in Gujarati� One can�t feed his stomach by sucking fingers.
