Three is shaking up the mobile market yet again with the launch of a revolutionary service that, for the first time, pays customers to receive calls and texts.

Apparantly Something similar was offered in Romania,for a student pre-pay service.What happened was that students signed up for the service and then put up classified ads offering non-existent apartments, cars or other merchandise at too good to be true prices,asking to be called on their mobiles.and in the end the service provider there had to withdraw the offer...i can see the same thing happening here!

So can I! Why don't they just give you more free texts and minutes for your money, instead of these silly cashback schemes? Less admin, less hassle and everybody's happy?

A similar offer is still available here in Romania ... for PrePay SIMs you get 1 USD for 100 minutes of incoming calls.

i dont think they do directly, but more ppl "might" start using this sim so therefore more £££ for them even tho they are paying ppl.
