Save Money on Your Cell Phone Bill

Is your cell phone bill getting too expensive? According to a story in The New York Times, Virgin Mobile has a new way to save you money: You can earn free talk time by watching ads.

Known as SugarMama, the service will let you earn one minute of talk time for each 30 second commercial you watch on a computer. You can also earn talk time by receiving ads in text messages on your phone, but, as the Times reports, there is a catch: You'll have to answer questions to prove you were paying attention.

More information is available in the story, posted on NYTimes.com.

What do you think? Is it worth watching ads to get free cell phone service?

It would be worth for those who are willing to spend their valuable time that gives only free minutes. I would rather spend time on better things.
