Pumbby works on the basis of paying users a small amount for watching ad’s! It is all opt-in and you can leave whenever you wish! In the UK they seem to be offering 44p per ad, and you can choose to receive upto 10 ad’s a day! The website then says you can either transfer the money you have accumulated to your GSM operator directly or to your bank account! Fantastic!

Now I have tried to sign up, and it does not recognize my postcode! I tried to use the test service function and it will not recognize my two UK numbers! I forgot to mention that Pumbby is not a mobile network they simply send the ad’s to your existing number and you will have to pay the data charges (free if on WIFI) to view the ad’s!

In theory if this works then it could be serious competition for Blyk in the UK! The other great thing about Pumbby is that does not seem to be any age restrictions! I have sent their customer services an email to see if they can help my get an account set up! However it would be great to hear from our readers if you set one up successfully or have one! You can either send them directly to Ewan or post them below!

So go ahead and Pumb your GSM (and let us know how you get on!!
