Here's a Free $5.00 for You – And a New Service

Yeah, you can make $5 for free today – so long as you have a cell phone. I detailed it in last night's Lockergnome report on TextPayMe. To paraphrase, TextPayMe allows you to send and receive money using SMS on your mobile phone. Just for signing up for a free account, they’ll give you $5. So, if you already have a cell phone today, there’s nothing to lose – and everything to gain. It’s potentially a killer service because it’s so easy to use and quick to learn (and who DOESN'T have a cell phone these days!?). They give you a few scenarios to consider before you get an account: “Split your restaurant bills right then and there; Pay your team or club dues anywhere and anytime; Pitch in real money instead of IOUs for a shared gift; Settle your roommate’s rent and utility bills on the spot.” They even recommend using the TextPayMe service for Craigslist transactions. Try it! Sign up for free to score $5 – and they're currently running a promotion where (if you get 36 referrals before the middle of March) you can get a free Xbox 360. All that on top of a service that is long overdue.
