Yes, not such a hott service. But for the pre-paid service it has to be one of my top choices.

They have gone into the advertising world by giving users free airtime by viewing ads and reading them. How simple can it get? They limit it to about $15/mo but it is pretty good. You can basically live your phone service off of it if you aren't too much of a chatter.

It can end up being somewhat time consuming (about 1 minute per ad) and you can do up to 75 ads. But they are one of the first companies to begin letting users watch ads and get paid for it (in terms of phone service).

Ads in exchange of free stuff is common practice, in japan they do that with vending machine, you watch the ads and they give you food, i think we wrote about it sometimes ago.

i think it's cool though this kind of stuff on cell provider

Yes, I do remember. I just thought it was interesting they were the first phone provider I heard of that allowed this. Seems like more businesses in the US should do this... I would be willing to watch some ads for totally free helio service... Just kidding. But seems like ads, ads, ads are what everything is about anymore. Pretty much the easiest way to get some money.

By the way how are the vending machines working out? Any update?

hmm, i wonder how Virgin beat google to the punch on this one?

Who knows I don't use the service any more but it seems pretty easy way to earn airtime minutes if you use them.

eh...
