Is it legit? Yes, I guess it works. I haven't tried, nor do I intend do.

However, it asks for your hotmail password- and people are stupid enought to give it. If you've read through the terms and conditions, you'll probably come to the same conclusion as me- forget it.

If its anything like that friends network one, the hotmail password thing only has to be entered if you want to invite everyone on your contact list to it

What? You have to pay for the ads? How's that done? Through popup ads or something?

they just charge you. it is deep in the terms/conditions.

about $2 an ad.

sms ads, btw, might not have gotten any yet, but soon enough you will get them

no i wouldnt touch it if u were you, one of my friends joined up and it was all good so far, like 8 free sms a day or some crap, but then some people started smsing him like 20 times a day and he had to pay for it every time one was recieved. also they start sending you adds, first at the cost of your 8 free ones, then when they run out that day it costs you a fair bit. its kind of hard to unsubscribe out of it aswell.

upon reading the terms and conditions a while ago i decided not to touch it, i dont want people having access to my funds like that

its all seems bs scams to give you free SMS at the cost of SMS ads at the cost to the consumer?

Actually, would it be an incredibly slack practical joke if I was to use someone else's mobile phone number? :D

don't join it, your at the risk of being sent ads which are billed to your carrier.

IT's a good way to get back at some one you hate.... wink wink.
