To complete these you will need:

  1. An Android phone
  2. A sim card capable of receiving texts (basically any sim card that isn’t broken)
  3. (optional) a sim card capable of sending texts (sending is optional in these 4 apps, but will allow you to reach payouts quicker)
  4. ~70MB available storage space.

The way these apps work is they send you SMS messages in order to test cellular networks and see if the message has been sent and received as intended. You’re free to delete the text messages after (they’re mostly gibberish). This is a ‘set and forget’ type of thing, they run in the background.

Note if you still use SMS regularly for personal use, these apps may be somewhat annoying due to the amount of texts they send (filling up your ‘inbox’ so to speak).

Also note, if you get paid via PayPal, you may need to manually accept some of the payments they send you in your PayPal dashboard.

You may need to enable ‘install apps from unknown sources’ in your phone settings

ControlMySMS

No referral code for this one.

This app also allows you to send SMS messages (instead of just receiving them). I.e, it uses your phone to automatically send test messages. I haven’t done this but it may be more profitable to enable it.

Can be paid via PayPal or transfer to Top-ups.
