Get paid to receive SMS text messages on your mobile phone? Sure, why not. You have been able to earn money reading email ads for ages so why not SMS ads on mobile phones as well? There are a few companies out there hoping to tap into the surely enormous potential of opt-in mobile phone advertising using the same principle as paid to read email programs. Advertisers send you a paid SMS text message advertising something and you earn cash for reading it! To be fair this is something which is yet to kick off in any big way but some of the companies out there still offer other benefits to their members which make them worthwhile.
