Much has been said about free, ad-based phone. Examples include:
1. Blyk (UK) - offers free mobile phone calls and text messages for people aged 16 to 24 who agree to let companies such as L'Oréal, McDonald's , and Coca-Cola send text ads to their handsets.

2. Sugar Mama (US) - offers subscribers a chance to earn free minutes if they agree to view tailored ads. They can choose to have text ads in the form of quizzes and games sent to a phone a couple of times a week; play the games and you earn minutes.

We would like to know if you will get one of these free, ad-based phone if they are made available in your country.

Well,in my country-Serbia,we don`t have phones like these..but we do receive promotional sms regardlessly we want them or not

I see. Do they charge you for SMS received? I hope they don't.

i'd rather pay for my calls. i'm not much of a talking-on-the-phone person anyways. so it's not that much to pay. i don't need getting bombarded with ads, just to get free calls i'll never use.

Good point there, PB. I think many of us will agree with you on that.

Well we also in Croatia don't have such SMS ads, but from time to time our operator sends us a ad sms about some game that they are having...also regardless do we want it or not...


But I like to pay for my calls and SMS...coz I know me...if I recive a lot of ad sms than I wouldn't pay to much attention to sms...so when someone would need me and sends me sms...I would hurry to read it..

god forbid that luckily not yet..hmm..I hope they don`t come across this
