Free Phone Minutes from Virgin

Virgin Mobile in the US is running a promotion where you can watch ads and answers questions, and in exchange they give you free mobile minutes.

The program is called Sugar Mama

Anyone interested?

Sounds good, except I am not sure the return on investment is good. Depends on how much time you have to spend to get one minute of airtime.

If you are watching ads and answering questions via your mobile it's one of two things, you are either participating in surveys for free minutes or alternative you are paying to watch the ads.

That's actually a good point...you're paying to view ads that will pay you, which you will use to view ads that...

Interesting...

Someone I know tested it out and said it took a while to get a few minutes, so not good unless really scrapping for pennies. Then you have to wonder how you have internet access.

I guess there is a question about how much time you have to hassle for a few free minutes

This sounds like a good program but only if you are doing nothing else. It would be great for teens though who just like hanging out on their cell.

I don't know much about the US market but in UK virgin has tied up with orange and they give the best deals in the market. There are lots of conditions added to these kind of offers so be careful.

I should try it out! I have been with them for about 4 years. They really should consider giving long time customers some free minutes, lord knows how much I've spent!
